Hello I'am trying to do a very simple thing with no result. I just try to use the V2 API with PHP cURL. Nb I a m very new on the subject... According to the documentation I expect to receive the li...

1) It looks like there are two issues with this one:
a) You should be supplying the API call parameters as JSON in the body. So, instead of:
$curl_fields = http_build_query($fields); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$curl_fields);
You would do something like:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,json_encode($fields));
b) When identifying just the root folder, you need to just use the empty string "", so instead of:
"path"=> "/",
Do:
"path"=> "",
2) I'm just running this code in my terminal. I can't offer help on your development environment itself, so you'll need to investigate how to properly get the error output in your environment. For reference, the Dropbox API returns error information in the response body, which both the `var_dump($result);` and `print_r($result);` in your code are showing me.

I have a problem with create folder, I get empty response from
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/create_folder_v2");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$arr = array("path"=>$from, "autorename"=>"false");
$jArr = json_encode($arr);
$arrNull = array("body"=>"");
$jNull = json_encode($arrNull);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jArr);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, [
"Authorization: Bearer Thetoken",
"Content-Type: application/json"
]);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo("res:" .$result);
curl_close ($ch);

Hi tridejur,
It looks like your having a different issue than was originally reported in this thread. Can you please start a new thread with your code sample. It will also help us troubleshoot if you include the response you get back from the server.

Hi sample is on
http://tridejur.uy/t123.php?id=18711573&alta=2018-12-22blank13:15:12%27
Code is ofuscated, but no problem in sharing since i am only using curl calls to your API as per stated on your http API samples.
I need someone to test if the problem is on your side of communication, I do use create folder and upload through your recommendations.
1) Press, createacc.bat(Enter your account)
2) place some files on outputbox
3) press send.bat
Send me a message to 26045165.
