I am a beginner regarding working with php and api. What I am trying to do is create a new Jira issue using the Jira Rest Api. It is my first project of this type. I will post bellow the code from my 2 pages. I can't figure out what is my problem. I mention I already tested the api using Advanced REST client (basically same tool as POSTMAN) and when I do it there it works, on my site it doesn't. I mention that "JIRA PLACEHOLDER" is replaced by the actual jira instance in my code.
Jira-create-issues.php
<?php
$base64_usrpwd = base64_encode($_POST['user'].':'.$_POST['pass']);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://JIRA-PLACEHOLDER/jira/rest/api/2/issue/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json',
'Authorization: Basic '.$base64_usrpwd));
$arr['project'] = array( 'key' => 'TEST');
$arr['summary'] = $_POST['summary'];
$arr['description'] = $_POST['description'];
$arr['issuetype'] = array( 'name' => $_POST['type']);
$json_arr['fields'] = $arr;
$json_string = json_encode ($json_arr);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$json_string);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;
?>
And the code for jira-create-issue.html:
<html>
<head>
<script src="jquery-2.1.4.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="wrapper">
<h1>Create Issue</h1>
<form id="create-form">
Summary: <input type="text" name="summary" id="summary" value=""/>
Description: <input type="text" name="description" id="description" value="" />
Issue Type: <input type="text" name="type" id="type" value=""/>
Username: <input type="text" name="user" id="user" value=""/>
Password: <input type="password" name="pass" id="pass" value=""/>
<input type="button" id="button" value="Create Issue"/>
</form>
</div>
<script>
$('#button').click(function() {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "jira-create-issue.php",
data: $('#create-form').serialize(),
success: function(data){
alert(data);
},
dataType: "html"
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
