Sending photo other than curl_file_create() about telegrambotphp

[Eleirbag89]

I could be wrong, but i think Curl can send only file on the local filesystem, without HTTP.
You could try to download the photo from google App Engine on your server before sending it on Telegram.

Well, if you use a database or some otherway to store information, you can try this:
When you want to send a picture, check if there is a record on your db like photo | file_id and do a SendPhoto using just the file_id (you should also implement some check to see if the picture is still on the Telegram's servers), If it's not, download the picture on your local webserver, send it using curl, get the file_id from the reply, save the data on the database and delete the picture from your local storage. It's tediuos but the only solution i can see.

I added public $results to Telegram class to read the curl_exec($ch) and I tried this code:

        define('BUCKET','gs://<MY_BUCKET_ADDRESS>/folder/');
    $contents = file_get_contents("http://www.example.com/255.png");
    file_put_contents(BUCKET.'255.png',$contents);
    $img = my_curl_file_create(BUCKET.'255.png','image/png'); 
    $content = array('chat_id' => $chat_id, 'photo' => $img );
    $telegram->sendPhoto($content);
    $telegram->sendMessage(array('chat_id' => $chat_id ,'text' => "Result=".$telegram->results));

file has saved as 255.png in Bucket ,but I received this result :
Result={"ok":false,"error_code":400,"description":"Bad Request: Wrong persistent file_id specified: contains wrong characters or has wrong length"}

I don't think curl can handle the gs protocol. Try using a file on the local server, or download the png first and then send it using CURL

Upload a pictute and get file_id, then send file_id with message.

You're right and I already tried it but when you have to send hundreds of random pictures to bot users how to do it without uploading on my server and sending by multipart to telegram server to get file_Id.
My problem is that my bot is on google app engine server and it does not support direct addressing a file like: /directory/a.jpg and curl doesn't support gs://

Thanks for comments, after all I found out I had to use custom multipart form data which I got from here
if anyone else has problem with Curl in new php versions or file uploading from google cloud storage
to telegram I would recommend to use it . link from php website
