Azure Storage: Upload Contents of String Variable to Block Blob

See more Azure Cloud Storage Examples

Sample code to upload the contents of a string variable to a block blob in Azure Cloud Storage. This creates the block blob, or replaces an existing block blob.

Note: The maximum size of a block blob created by uploading in a single step is 64MB. For larger files, the upload must be broken up into blocks. There is another Chilkat example for that..

// This creates a new block blob or replaces an existing one in its entirety.

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// are automatically set by Chilkat.

// IMPORTANT: Make sure to set the x-ms-blob-type header:
$success = $rest->AddHeader('x-ms-blob-type','BlockBlob');

// After uploading, the block blob named helloWorld.txt (in the container named "mycontainer")
// will contain the following string:
$blobContents = 'Hello World!';
