what is the correct way of uploading in azure file storage (NOT BLOB STORAGE) using php

Question

Hello guys sorry for my bad English. i would like to ask this question because i am having a hard time uploading a file (not to create file but upload) in Azure File Storage(NOT THE SO CALLED BLOB STORAGE). (no error happens when i try to execute the code/run on the google chrome browser. but then when i look up at the azure storage files there is no file uploaded .)

so basically this is my base code upload file button.

<input type="file" class="btn btn-default" name="resFile" id="resFile" value="" />
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Submit" data-inline="true"/>
<div id="res"></div>

then this is my script to call an ajax request.

 $(document).ready(function () {
      $("form").on('submit', (function (e) {
          e.preventDefault();

          $.ajax({
              url: "functions/function.php", // Url to which the request is send
              type: "POST",             // Type of request to be send, called as method
              data: new FormData(this), // Data sent to server, a set of key/value pairs (i.e. form fields and values)
              contentType: false,       // The content type used when sending data to the server.
              cache: false,             // To unable request pages to be cached
              processData: false,        // To send DOMDocument or non processed data file it is set to false
              success: function (data)   // A function to be called if request succeeds
              {
                  $("#res").hide().html(data).fadeIn('fast');
              }
          });
      }));
  });

and finally my php code for uploading:

<?php
require_once "../dependancies/vendor/autoload.php";

use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Exceptions\ServiceException;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Internal\Resources;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Internal\StorageServiceSettings;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Models\Range;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Models\Metrics;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Models\RetentionPolicy;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\Models\ServiceProperties;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\ServicesBuilder;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\Common\SharedAccessSignatureHelper;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\File\Models\CreateShareOptions;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\File\Models\ListSharesOptions;
use MicrosoftAzure\Storage\File\FileRestProxy;

  $connectionString = 'DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=MYACCNAME;AccountKey=MYACCKEY==';
$fileClient = ServicesBuilder::getInstance()->createFileService($connectionString);
uploadFile($fileClient);
function uploadFile($fileClient)
{
  $content = $_FILES["resFile"]["tmp_name"];
  $contentloc = $_FILES["resFile"]["tmp_name"];

  $shareName = 'myDISK';
  $range = new Range(0, 511);
    try {
        $fileClient->createFileFromContentAsync($shareName, $contentloc, $content, null);

        echo "<p style='color:green;'>File Uploaded successfully </p>";
    } catch (ServiceException $e) {
        $code = $e->getCode();
        $error_message = $e->getMessage();
        echo $code . ": " . $error_message . PHP_EOL;
    }
}
?>

This is the image on where i try to upload the file:

[ANSWER]

special thanks to @Aaron Chen and @Gaurav Mantri.

just add file_get_contents to get the file itself. Change the share name to lowercase. and instead of using 'createFileFromContentAsync' use 'createFileFromContent'

Are you getting any error? Please edit your question and include that. — Gaurav Mantri
hi sir. there is no error found when i try to execute my code. but then when i look up at the azure storage files their is no file uploaded . — Yusoph Suma
` $fileClient->createFileFromContentAsync($shareName, $contentloc, $content, null);` i think this part of my code is working. but i dont really know where the files go in the server — Yusoph Suma
I'm not 100% sure but I believe you're getting the error because of share name. Please try 2 things: 1) Include error handler in your AJAX code. You should see some error there. and 2) Change the share name to mydisk (all lowercase). — Gaurav Mantri
hi sir i added the code after the success handler which is , error: function (data) { console.log(data); }, failure: function (data) { console.log(data); } but then nothing happens when i looked up at my console log. — Yusoph Suma

First, you should make sure that you have a file share named mydisk in the Azure file storage, and then try the following code. I tested it, it should work.

function uploadFile($fileClient) {

    // Get the content of the uploaded file
    $content = file_get_contents($_FILES["resFile"]["tmp_name"]);
    // Get uploaded file name
    $filename = $_FILES["resFile"]["name"];

    // Change the share name to mydisk (all lowercase)
    $shareName = 'mydisk';
    try {
        // Use createFileFromContent instead of createFileFromContentAsync
        $fileClient->createFileFromContent($shareName, $filename, $content, null);    
        echo "<p style='color:green;'>File Uploaded successfully </p>";

    } catch (ServiceException $e) {
        $code = $e->getCode();
        $error_message = $e->getMessage();
        echo $code . ": " . $error_message . PHP_EOL;
    }
}
