Thanks! :)

Hi, tried using this style but when i print $response its empty. How can I see the response to my curl request to see errors. Thanks!

Thanks!

@Mo45 Any way to trigger @everyone ? :D

@Mo45 Any way to trigger @everyone ? :D

Hello. I'm not sure but try this.

\@everyone or <@&everyone>

My bad, it works with the regular @everyone :)

In order for a webhook bot to tag everyone, discord server must enable ability to use @everyone tag for everyone.

If you can't send message and get this error: {"message": "Cannot send an empty message", "code": 50006}
After this line $ch = curl_init( $webhookurl );
You need to add new one:
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));

Thanks. My webhook stopped yesterday but your code helped me to solve problem.

Thanks! :)

@Mo45 do you know if this would support posting an image along with the message?

Read about Embed Objects.

@lowe493 do you know if this would support posting an image along with the message?

You can call webhook on form submit, and send input data in additional fields array here:
"fields" => [ // Field 1 [ "name" => "Name", "value" => "$name", "inline" => false ], // Field 2 [ "name" => "email", "value" => "$email", "inline" => true ], // Field 3 [ "name" => "text", "value" => "$text", "inline" => true ] ]

Wow, thank you :)

Hello, I always get this error: {"message": "400: Bad Request", "code": 0}

Any ideas how to fix it?

@ProfessorVarox Are you get your webhook URL and changed this value to your URL?
$webhookurl = "YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL";

Hi, can you make a sample on how to mention a user with webhook and php?

Updated code. Add <@12341234123412341> with userID into content or description.
You can find your userID here.
It was alredy answered almost year ago.

Hi, your script is so useful, thank you !
But what should I put in "file" to upload a file ?

You should put FILE. Read docs, please.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

$json_data = json_encode([
"payload_json" => [
"content" => "content",
],
"file" => "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Google_2015_logo.svg/langfr-280px-Google_2015_logo.svg.png",
], JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE);

$ch = curl_init($webhookurl);
curl_setopt(
$ch,
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
array('Content-type: multipart/form-data','Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="filename.png"')
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
// If you need to debug, or find out why you can't send message uncomment line below, and execute script.
echo $response;
curl_close($ch);

I get {"message": "Cannot send an empty message", "code": 50006}. I googled but couldn't find an answer.

[EDIT] : I finally got it working

I want to make form for this
My form page index.php [ form action="send.php"]
Send.Php contain this above code I used post method

Now what should I do so it again redirected back to index.Php
