How Can I Upload to Rapidshare.com using PHP Script

Hello,

I want to know if it's possible to upload a file to www.rapidshare.com using a PHP script that resides on my site and then retrieve the URL of the uploaded file?

Rapidshare offers a script to do this, but it's written in Perl and I do not know this language at all.

Does someone know how to make this work in PHP, or somehow integrate that Perl Script into PHP so it can upload/retrieve uploaded URL?

I have attached the Perl Script offered by Rapidshare.

 

Use CURL to POST the file to rapidshare, then scrape the returned page for the information you need.

Your php script might time out though, while the file is uploading.

 

Why do you say it will timeout? Isn't the same as if someone would upload a file on my site using PHP?

 

Ah yea, maybe.
If it does timeout, you could always use set_time_limit().

 

<form name="ul" method="post" action="http://rs97l3.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/upload.cgi?rsuploadid=99619963777997544" enctype="multipart/form-data" onsubmit="document.ul.u.value='Please wait ...';document.ul.u.disabled=true">
<a href="#" onclick="switchfiles()">Multi-Upload</a> Choose your upload-datapath: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cogent <input name="mirror" type="radio" onclick="document.ul.action='http://rs97cg.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/upload.cgi?rsuploadid=99619963777997544';document.ul.u.value='Upload via Cogent'">
Level(3) <input checked name="mirror" type="radio" onclick="document.ul.action='http://rs97l3.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/upload.cgi?rsuploadid=99619963777997544';document.ul.u.value='Upload via Level(3)'">
Telia <input name="mirror" type="radio" onclick="document.ul.action='http://rs97tl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/upload.cgi?rsuploadid=99619963777997544';document.ul.u.value='Upload via Telia'"><br>
<div id="files"><input type="file" size="64" name="filecontent"> <input type="submit" name="u" value="Upload!"></div></form>

 

But the problem is
This value rsuploadid=99619963777997544
keeps on changing,
So this method cannot be used.

 

Why not login to your rapidshare account then use remote upload instead.

 

I would like to do this automatically... this is why Remote Upload option is not suitable....

 

Well,
You would have to first fetch the Upload page ( In this case http://rapidshare.com/ )using Curl. Parse the page using regular expressions to find that unique submit url using the

preg_match

PHP:

function. Then POST the file to that page.
