How can PHP developers ensure successful file uploads when using APIs like Fastbill, especially when encountering issues with libraries and SDKs?

When encountering issues with libraries and SDKs when uploading files through APIs like Fastbill, PHP developers can ensure successful file uploads by double-checking the file size limits, file type restrictions, and ensuring proper authentication credentials are used. Additionally, developers should handle any errors or exceptions that may occur during the file upload process.

// Example code snippet to ensure successful file uploads with Fastbill API

// Set the file path to be uploaded
$file_path = '/path/to/file.txt';

// Check file size limit
if (filesize($file_path) > 5242880) { // 5MB limit
    die('File size exceeds limit');
}

// Check file type restriction
$file_extension = pathinfo($file_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$allowed_extensions = ['pdf', 'doc', 'docx'];
if (!in_array($file_extension, $allowed_extensions)) {
    die('Invalid file type');
}

// Authenticate with Fastbill API
$api_key = 'your_api_key';
$api_secret = 'your_api_secret';

// Upload file to Fastbill API
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://my.fastbill.com/api/1.0/api.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, [
    'file' => new CURLFile($file_path),
    'apiKey' => $api_key,
    'apiSecret' => $api_secret
]);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

// Handle any errors or exceptions
if (!$response) {
    die('Error uploading file: ' . curl_error($ch));
}

// File upload successful
echo 'File uploaded successfully';
