How to upload a file as part of body using the post request.

Hi,
I'm new to the php and using this library too. I'm working on creating a api library to make rest api calls and process the data. I'm able to post simple form-data and process the response. But I am having issues with uploading a file as part of the body.

function createOrder($accesstoken, $file){
	$url = '/api/order/';
	$body = array('access_token' => $accesstoken, 'entry' => $file);
		
	$headers = array('Accept' => 'text/xml');
	
	$response = Requests::post($url, $headers, $body);
	
        var_dump($response->body);
	var_dump($response->body["orderId"]);
}

I want to pass a json file which contains the order information for processing. The error I get is string(133) "The only acceptable directives are '../email' and '../SupportRequest'. I understand that its not supported type right now?

I'm not sure how to pass a file with some json data to make a request and how to decode the json response object. Any help/suggestions are highly appreciated?

Thank you!

You need to read in the file yourself:

$content = file_get_contents( $file );

Support for file pointers is being tracked in #34.
