(PHP ActiveX) Dropbox File Streaming Upload

Upload a file to Drobox using a file stream. This example can upload files up to 150MB. Larger files must be uploaded with an upload session (upload_session/start).

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// A Dropbox access token should have been previously obtained.
// Dropbox access tokens do not expire.
// See Dropbox Access Token.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Rest')
$rest = new COM("Chilkat.Rest");

// Connect to Dropbox
$success = $rest->Connect('content.dropboxapi.com',443,1,1);

// The upload "parameters" contained in JSON passed in an HTTP request header.
// This is the JSON to be added in this example:
// { 
//    "path": "/Homework/lit/hamlet.xml",
//    "mode": "add",
//    "autorename": true,
//    "mute": false
