[FIXED] FB API PHP curl_setopt_array(): The usage of the @filename API for file uploading is deprecated

Issue

Have a problem with FB PHP API and php 5.5 with uploading photo to server. When using method :

 private function _upload( $type = '', $path = '', $message = '', $aid = '' ) {
        try {

            if ( !in_array( $type, array( 'photos', 'videos' ) ) ) {
                throw new \Exception( 'Error: Incorrect type ' );
            }

            if ( !self::getFB()->getUser() ) {
                throw new \Exception( 'Error: No user' );
            }

            if ( empty( $path ) ) {
                throw new \Exception( 'Error: path is empty' );
            }
            if ( !file_exists( realpath( $path ) ) ) {
                throw new \Exception( 'Error: file doesn\'t exists' );
            }


            if ( !empty( $aid ) ) {
                $url = "/" . $aid . "/" . $type;
            } else {
                $url = '/' . self::getFB()->getUser() . '/' . $type;
            }

            var_dump( array( $url, 'POST',

                    array(
                        'image'   => '@' . realpath( $path ),
                        'message' => $message,
                    )
                )
            );

            self::getFB()->setFileUploadSupport( TRUE );

            $ret_obj = self::getFB()->api( $url, 'POST', array(
                    'image'   => '@' . realpath( $path ),
                    'message' => $message,
                )
            );
            return $ret_obj[ 'id' ];
        } catch ( \Exception $e ) {
            return $e->getMessage();
        }
    }

I get error : curl_setopt_array(): The usage of the @filename API for file uploading is deprecated. Please use the CURLFile class instead

Solution

You're using PHP 5.5 with the old way of uploading over CURL. Check out the differences at https://wiki.php.net/rfc/curl-file-upload

Old

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$args['file'] = '@filename.png';
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);

New

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$args['file'] = new CurlFile('filename.png', 'image/png');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);
