Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MacOS, Alpine Linux, Solaris

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

$http = new CkHttp();

// If SharePoint Windows classic authentication is used, then set the 
// Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth properties.
$http->put_Login('SHAREPOINT_USERNAME');
$http->put_Password('SHAREPOINT_PASSWORD');
$http->put_LoginDomain('SHAREPOINT_NTLM_DOMAIN');
$http->put_NtlmAuth(true);

// The more common case is to use SharePoint Online authentication (via the SPOIDCRL cookie).
// If so, do not set Login, Password, LoginDomain, and NtlmAuth, and instead
// establish the cookie as shown at SharePoint Online Authentication

// To create a folder, we're going to POST to
// https://SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN/_api/web/folders
// with a request body containing the following JSON:
// 
//     { "__metadata": { "type": "SP.Folder" }, "ServerRelativeUrl": "/document_library_relative_url/newFolderName"}

// This example will create a folder named ChilkatTest in /Documents

// Note: if your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, you must add the site name "/sites/teamA" to both the Path and the ServerRelativeUrl

$req = new CkHttpRequest();
$req->put_HttpVerb('POST');
// If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "/sites/teamA/_api/web/folders" where "teamA" is the name of the site.

// We need to add a form digest value in the X-RequestDigest header field.
// See this example for details on
// how to get (and cache) a form digest value
$req->AddHeader('X-RequestDigest','SHAREPOINT_FORM_DIGEST');

// Set the Content-Type, and indicate that a JSON response is desired.
$req->put_ContentType('application/json;odata=verbose');
$req->AddHeader('Accept','application/json;odata=verbose');

// Create and add the JSON body.
$json = new CkJsonObject();
$json->UpdateString('__metadata.type','SP.Folder');
// If your Sharepoint site is within a site collection, then use "/sites/teamA/Documents/ChilkatTest" where "teamA" is the name of the site.
$json->UpdateString('ServerRelativeUrl','/Documents/ChilkatTest');
$req->LoadBodyFromString($json->emit(),'utf-8');

// Send the POST using HTTPS (TLS). Port 443 is the default port for https.
$bUseTls = true;
// resp is a CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->SynchronousRequest('SHAREPOINT_HTTPS_DOMAIN',443,$bUseTls,$req);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// The response body contains JSON.

// (Let's also check for 200, just in case things change..)
