curl_setopt_array(): cannot represent a stream of type Output as a STDIO FILE*

[Benoit1980]

Hello,

I am trying to get the tts to work with Guzzle/Laravel without luck:

        $response = Http::withToken($access_token)
            ->withOptions([
                'debug' => true,
                'verify' => false
            ])
            ->withHeaders([
                'Content-type' => 'application/ssml+xml',
                'cache-control' => 'no-cache',
                'X-Microsoft-OutputFormat' => 'riff-24khz-16bit-mono-pcm',
                'X-Search-AppId' => '07D3234E49CE426DAA29772419F436CA',
                'X-Search-ClientID' => '1ECFAE91408841A480F00935DC390960',
                'User-Agent' => 'Text-to-speech', //My resource name
                'content-length' => strlen($data),
            ])
            ->post($ttsServiceUri, [
                'content' => $data,
            ]);

I keep getting this error:

curl_setopt_array(): cannot represent a stream of type Output as a STDIO FILE*

Any idea what could cause this issue please? Is there anything missing in my header? I am not really sure about those:

                'X-Search-AppId' => '07D3234E49CE426DAA29772419F436CA',
                'X-Search-ClientID' => '1ECFAE91408841A480F00935DC390960',

I kept the numbers that are set in your example, is this correct?

I have also tried the way you showed it in your PHP example as:

            $options = array(
                'http' => array(
                    'header'  => "Content-type: application/ssml+xml\r\n" .
                        "X-Microsoft-OutputFormat: riff-24khz-16bit-mono-pcm\r\n" .
                        "Authorization: "."Bearer ".$access_token."\r\n" .
                        "X-Search-AppId: 07D3234E49CE426DAA29772419F436CA\r\n" .
                        "X-Search-ClientID: 1ECFAE91408841A480F00935DC390960\r\n" .
                        "User-Agent: Text-to-speech-video-maker\r\n" .
                        "content-length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n",
                    'method'  => 'POST',
                    'content' => $data,
                ),
            );

            $context  = stream_context_create($options);
            $result = file_get_contents($ttsServiceUri, false, $context);

Where I am confused is how to download the file because at the moment if I return $result, I get something like this:

In your PHP demo, would it be possible to have an example on how to return the file as a "download" and also how to return the file as a response for a front end script like vue.js please?

Thank you.

The app ID and client ID parts are not mandatory. You can remove them (and I can remove them from all samples).

All demos are intentionally kept as simple as possible to leave the choice of front-end, service, app design, etc. to developers and users. But it's a good suggestion to provide vue or other samples if possible.

Thank you for the reply. Let me give you a good example. I have used the Google text to speech API for 2 years, I integrated it super quickly because everything was simple and included in the API.

To get the wave output in PHP was simply: $response = $client->synthesizeSpeech($synthesisInputText, $voice, $audioConfig); $audioContent = $response->getAudioContent(); $fileName = time() . '.'.$request->input('format');

This is added to their example because it really makes sense to have it as 99.99% of the people want to listen to their text to speech output. If we do not have examples in PHP and JS that shows us a way to efficiently listen to the output, we struggle and may not even do it the right way which may cause(from what I have seen in different forums) people to have their output not sounding right which in turn gives a bad name to the product.

I think you should follow the Google Text to Speech API path on github where they also give a super simple example but at least include the output processing with it(no headaches to developers, occasional coders like myself, kids learning how to code and so on).

3 technologies which would need samples would be Laravel, Vue.js and react, all becoming really popular.

If things are integrated quickly, people use it more. I am still using the Google API for now as I cannot switch to Azure, I cannot work it out, been 3 days on it, opened a lot of forum posts and stack overflow posts, no replies nor help. Completely stuck :-)

Thanks, these are valuable suggestions. I'll see if we can get some examples on trending frameworks. There're few listed in wiki. Welcome to suggest more suitable projects to add.

[Benoit1980]

You are welcome :-) I think if you had full examples with: -Angular -Vue -React -Laravel

You would target a big chunk of the market.
