An example using php-opencloud 1.7 to upload a remote image to a Cloud Files container

cf_upload_remote_file.php

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$username = '<YOUR USERNAME>';
$api_key = '<YOUR API KEY>';
$my_container = '<CONTAINER NAME>';
$cf_region = '<CF REGION>';

$authURL = 'https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/';
$credentials = array(
    'username' => $username,
    'apiKey' => $api_key,
);
$connection = new \OpenCloud\Rackspace($authURL, $credentials);

$service = $connection->objectStoreService('cloudFiles', $cf_region);

// Get our container
$container = $service->getContainer($my_container);

// The remote file we want to grab
$remote_file_url = 'http://www.example.com/path/to/object.ext';
$parts = explode("/",$remote_file_url);
$remote_file_name = $parts[count($parts)-1];
echo "Uploading ".$remote_file_name." from ".$remote_file_url;

$data = fopen($remote_file_url, 'r');
$container->uploadObject($remote_file_name, $data, array(
    'Author' => 'Author Name'
));

echo "Iterating through our container<br />";
printf("*** %s<br />", $container->name);
//$this_cont = $objstore->getContainer($container->name);
printf("* %s<br />", $container->getURL());
printf("* Contains %d objects<br />", $container->getObjectCount());
printf("* %d bytes used<br /><br />", $container->getBytesUsed());
$files = $container->ObjectList();
while($o = $files->Next())
{
    printf("Object: %s<br /> size: %d<br /> type: %s<br /> modified: %s<br /><br />", $o->getName(), $o->getContentLength(), $o->getContentType(), $o->getLastModified());
}

How can we upload normal uploaded file rather than read the external url file ?
