Create Issue with REST API and CURL using PHP

[Christoph Huber]

Hi

Could pls someone post an example code, how to create an issue with the rest api? i dont get it.

i am always getting a php error 415.

I think i am doing smth wrong^^

this would be my code so far:

<?php

$handle=curl_init();
$headers = array(
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Basic YWRtaW46eWFoYWxh'
);

$data = <<<JSON
{
"fields": {
"project":
{
"key": "SYNC"
},
"summary": "No REST for the Wicked.",
"description": "Creating of an issue using ids for projects and issue types using the REST API",

}
}
JSON;



curl_setopt_array(
$handle,
array(
CURLOPT_URL=>'baseurl/jira/rest/api/2/issue/',
CURLOPT_POST=>true,
//CURLOPT_HTTPGET =>true,

CURLOPT_VERBOSE=>1,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS=>$data,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST=> 0,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER=> 0,
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER=>true,
CURL_HEADER=>false,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER=> $headers,
CURLOPT_USERPWD=>"user:pwd",
//CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST=>"POST"
)

);
$result=curl_exec($handle);
$ch_error = curl_error($handle);

if ($ch_error) {
echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";
} else {
echo $result;
}

curl_close($handle);


?>

i hope someone can help me ;)

kind regards

chris

<?php
 
$username = 'xxxxx';
$password = 'xxxxx';
              
$url = "xxxx/rest/api/2/issue/";

$data = array(

'fields' => array(

'project' => array(

'key' => 'xxx',

),

'summary' => 'This is summary',

'description' => 'This is description',
"issuetype" => array(

    "self" => "xxxx",
    "id" => "xxxx",
    "description" => "xxxxx",

$test = "This is the content of the custom field.";
 
  
 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
 
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
 
  
 
$result = curl_exec($ch);
 
$ch_error = curl_error($ch);
 
  
 
if ($ch_error) {
 
    echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";
 
} else {
 
    echo $result;

curl_close($ch);
 
  
 
?>

I have created this PHP code somewhile ago to fetch some projects from JIRA, you may change the URL and the request type to add new issues :

<?php

 

$username = 'test';

$password = 'test';

 

$url = "https://xxxxx.xxxxxxx.net/rest/api/2/project";

$ch = curl_init();

 

$headers = array(

    'Accept: application/json',

    'Content-Type: application/json'

);

 

$test = "This is the content of the custom field.";

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");

//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");

 

$result = curl_exec($ch);

$ch_error = curl_error($ch);

 

if ($ch_error) {

    echo "cURL Error: $ch_error";

} else {

    echo $result;

}

 

curl_close($ch);

 

?>

So if you want to re-use it for creating issues, you will need to change the REST URL to /rest/api/2/issue/ and use "POST" instead of "GET"

$issue_list = (curl_exec($curl));
echo hi . $issue_list;

I'm not good with php, but found this post in stackoverflow which similar to the way of your codings: http://stackoverflow.com/a/11091261

You might want to try the way you specified the headers and see how it goes?
