I am not having any luck hitting the api or generating any logs in the private app, while other functions do.  
This is the code that calls the function

\<?php

// This example uploads a local file named ‘example\_file.txt’  
// to the /docs folder, without checking for duplicate files

$endpoint = “[https://api.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/upload](https://api.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/upload)”;

$upload\_file = new CURLFile(‘/home/cpaneluser/public\_html/subdomain/wp-content/uploads/documents/text.pdf’,‘application/octet-stream’);  
$file\_options = array(  
“access” =\> “PUBLIC\_INDEXABLE”,  
“overwrite” =\> false,  
“duplicateValidationStrategy” =\> “NONE”,  
“duplicateValidationScope” =\> “ENTIRE\_PORTAL”  
);

$properties = array(  
“file” =\> $upload\_file,  
“options” =\> json\_encode($file\_options),  
“folderPath” =\> “/docs”  
);

return hubspotApiSendFile($endpoint, $properties)  
?\>  
this is the function it calls  
function hubspotApiSendFile($endpoint, $properties){  
print “running”;  
// HubSpot Bearer Token  
$hubspot\_access\_token = ‘pat-na1-00ece814-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-8b9345de889c’;  
$ch = curl\_init();  
@curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_URL, $endpoint);  
@curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_CUSTOMREQUEST, “POST”);  
@curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_POSTFIELDS, $properties);  
@curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_HTTPHEADER, array(  
‘Content-Type: application/json’,  
'Authorization: Bearer ’ . $hubspot\_access\_token // Include the authorization header  
));  
@curl\_setopt($ch, CURLOPT\_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  
// Execute cURL session  
$response = @curl\_exec($ch);  
$status\_code = @curl\_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO\_HTTP\_CODE);  
echo $status\_code . " " . $response;  
// Check for cURL errors  
if (@curl\_errno($ch)) {  
error\_log('cURL error: ’ . @curl\_error($ch));  
} else {  
// If no cURL errors, process the response  
$response = json\_decode($response, true);  
}  
// Close cURL session  
@curl\_close($ch);  
}  
I know there is something silly I am not doing, I just cant work out what it is? Thanks in advance.
