When I am running conversions in a Queue I get the following error :

I am trying to find the details for all the conversion parameters. The README file under Additional conversion parameters includes the line "All conversion parameters and explanations can be found here." but I do not find any list of supported parameters on the website either.

Can you please help me find this documentation?

The PHP client uses cURL under the hood, which converts filenames with spaces in them to have +es instead.

As a result of this, Word and Excel files that have the FILENAME special property (when using the 'Direct' converter) will have the filename with spaces in them, i.e. AC+1+report+template.docx. It's the same for the API request logs.

This is related to a series of support requests to [email protected], so please refer there for more information and file examples.

Hi Support Team,

As I discussed with your support team member Jonas I'm generating ticket for the issue with API. Please check the attachment for the errors.
website URL: https://typetester.dk/

After filling the forms at the last on result page I'm getting error.It was working properly before but suddenly I'm getting the errors.

Here is the code I'm using:

The alternative converters option is depreciated. Remove the code from the library along with the demo.

It works with curl.
It seems an issue abut sdk

I can not get the converted file contents. I can only save the file. Getting the contents directly is really needed

I followed this link to convert doc to pdf (https://www.convertapi.com/docx-to-pdf)

                'File' => public_path().'/files/converted/test.docx',
            ], 'docx'

Converting results in - #############.

All other fields are correct

Hello, I am getting the following error:
TypeError Cannot access offset of type string on string
from the file:
lib/ConvertApi/Client.php:156

This is because the server returns a non-json string.
This case should throw an Error\Api just like a json-error.
Just add this before using the $json as an array, on line 156:
if (is_string($json)) throw new Error\Api($json);

When i called ConvertApi::convert and it shows errors
Call to undefined function ConvertApi\curl_init()

Our readme file lacks a complete description of how to install the library without using Composer:

https://www.convertapi.com/doc/php-library#manual-installation

Users are asking about this line:

require_once('/path/to/convertapi-php/src/ConvertApi/autoload.php');

What is the /path/to/convertapi-php/? Do they need to copy the contents of this repo into their project?

Dynamic properties are deprecated and generate errors in 8.2.x already.

The same as in Ruby lib ConvertAPI/convertapi-ruby#10

I want to catch respond code like in this page,
https://www.convertapi.com/doc/response-codes

Please tell me how i can do this with this project?

I am using the API pdf to jpg but the API returns null from your side. and I already talked about this issue with convertapi supporting team but they say it is still an issue in the PHP library and do report it here please fix this issue ASAP because our project totally depends on your API response. thanks

my code-----------

When our connection to ConvertAPI failed for some reason, the API client caused an error:

ErrorException
Warning: Trying to access array offset on value of type null

/vendor/convertapi/convertapi-php/lib/ConvertApi/Client.php in ConvertApi\Client::checkResponse at line 159

        catch (\Exception $e)
        {
            throw new Error\Api($response);
        }
        $message = $json['Message'] . ' Code: ' . $json['Code'];
        if (!empty($json['InvalidParameters']))
            $message .= ' '. json_encode($json['InvalidParameters']);
        throw new Error\Api($message, $json['Code']);

ch: Object CurlHandle
response: upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination

If possible the client should handle cURL errors rather than assuming the response always has valid $json with Message and Code keys.

When you download a file via the Client::download method CURL dumps the content of the file into the php output buffer, which then gets sent ahead of any response from the PHP script.

e.g. We're using ConvertAPI to convert a file to Pdf when its uploaded via an AJAX request. We found that the ajax call was returning a dump of the PDF file ahead of the JSON we were expecting. Adding a single line into client.php fixed it.

I've created a pull request to address this issue. #11

I noticed that the conversion didn't give the same result depending on the machine running the ConvertAPI PHP library. I found that this was due to the encoding when the file was uploaded.

I haven't investigated this in depth but it's a possibility. I managed to correct the problem by changing the header to ‘Transfer-Encoding: gzip,deflate’.

File:
lib/ConvertApi/Client.php
Line:
30
Original:
‘Transfer-Encoding: chunked’,
Fix:
‘Transfer-Encoding: gzip,deflate’,

"Operation timed out after 0 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received" is received in response object.

PDF will convert all the pages to thumbnail instead of the first three pages, when i set the page range.

The PHP code

$result = ConvertApi::convert('thumbnail', ['File' => $fileUrl,'PageRange' => '1-3']);
$result->saveFiles($targetdir);

Conversion:

`$result = ConvertApi::convert('merge', [
'Files[0]' => new \ConvertApi\FileUpload('files/test.pdf'),
'Files[1]' => new \ConvertApi\FileUpload('files/test.pdf'),
], 'pdf'
);

$result->saveFiles('/tmp');`

PHP Catchable fatal error: Method ConvertApi\FileUpload::__toString() must return a string value in convertapi-php/lib/ConvertApi/Client.php on line 19

Currently library does not have ability to authenticate by Access token:

User can only authenticate with secret:

Need to add support for access tokens and an example would be great, too.

The problem consists of two cases:

1. The PHP library lacks a method to get file content as a stream, I only find the Save method to file system:

   convertapi-php/lib/ConvertApi/ResultFile.php

   Line 41 in 416bc8e

   function save($path)

2. Due to the lack of a method to get file stream developers using the file_get_contents method to read files from URL as a stream.

The problem:

We have depreciated the HTTP/1.0 version for internal technical reasons and file_get_contents started throwing exceptions:

failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 426 Upgrade Required

To fix this issue we need to set HTTP version using context:

$context = stream_context_create(array('http'=>array('protocol_version'=>'1.1')));
file_get_contents('http://ip:port/?light=on', false, $context);

See also the full list of context options http://www.php.net/manual/en/context.http.php

Suggested solution:

1. Add the save to stream method to the library.

2. Switch automatically to HTTP 1.1. version when Library is used to prevent an error if a developer still decides to use the file_get_contents method. I am not certain if that possible to switch the HTTP version globally in PHP.

Each time it is ending up in a fatal error.

Fatal error: Method ConvertApi\FileUpload::__toString() must not throw an exception, caught ConvertApi\Error\Api: Code lib\ConvertApi\FileParam.php on line 12

While tracking down the error, I reached Client.php file, function execute($ch) where curl_exec($ch) is returning 400 Bad Request.

Please help me to get the result.

This is my code

require __DIR__ . '/lib/ConvertApi/autoload.php';
use \ConvertApi\ConvertApi;
ConvertApi::setApiSecret('<THIS IS SECRET>');
$dir = sys_get_temp_dir();

$upload = new \ConvertApi\FileUpload('files/pdf.pdf');
$result = ConvertApi::convert('tc', ['File' => $upload]);
$savedFile = $result->saveFiles($dir);

Please let me know what can be done from my side.

The conversion process will end abruptly when converting PowerPoint slides with transparency.

For example: If a 5 page PowerPoint uses transparency on page 3 only, ConvertAPI will return 3 images instead of the expected 5, and the 3rd image will be corrupt. No errors are thrown.

Do not pass any default TimeOut property to ConvertAPI and set HTTP Client timeout to 1800 seconds. The idea is to use the default converter timeout of ConvertAPI if no timeout is set and to prevent HTTP Client request deadlock and set the default HTTPClient timeout to 1800 seconds.

If, however, timeout is set we handle it as before, pass a timeout to ConvertAPI and set HTTPClient Timeout to: ConvertAPITimeOut+conversion_timeout_delta

conversion_timeout_delta = 10

Hello,

I'm encountering an issue while converting HTML to PDF. I'm passing an HTML file with the content "Hello Test. How are you...?" but the generated PDF contains the content "7b Hello Sandeep. How are you...? 0". I've attached PDF file for your review.

Could you please assist me in identifying the issue as soon as possible?

Thank you.

We're currently integrating the ConvertAPI into our project. When writing a unit test, we tried to mock the ConvertApi class. This works fine to a certain extend. In a piece of code we have the following:

ConvertApi::$apiBase = 'eu-v2.convertapi.com';

We use PhpUnit and Mockery to write tests, and currently mocking static properties is not supported. After some experimenting, we found the best solution would be to add a setter (like setApiSecret) so that we can finish our unit test. I think other people can also benefit from this, as it's not possible to write a unit test if you set a custom apiBase.

Thoughts about this? I can open a PR if there's interest in this.
PR here: #28

When converting an SVG file with transparent background it looses transparency and is added a white background in a PNG output.

Input (has transparency):

Output (no more transparency, bad):

The maximum timeout for Web to PDF API is 180 and the library default timeout is 600 which throw validation exception when used. Please change default Timeout from 600 to 180.

Change HTTP request Agent header format form old format

convertapi-php-version

to

ConvertAPI-PHP/version

Such format is more native to HTTP agent specification http://www.bizcoder.com/the-much-maligned-user-agent-header

Convertapi made breaking changes to the API without notification, and now this library is out of date.
Instead of sending a parameter for async, the api now requires a new URL instead.
https://www.convertapi.com/doc/async

This library does not support this and any application that relies on this library for async requests is now broken.
