Guidance for downloading documents from REST API [PHP]

[barontech]

Hi all, seeking some advise please.

I have an application which is a dashboard and external document portal, extending an instance of a CRM.

When I call through the API to get files, it works just fine in Postman, but I'm not sure how to store the file correctly as PHP treats my assignment as a failure:

if($file = $client->request('GET', 'Attachment/file/'.$document['fileId'])){ echo "test"; } 

The code inside the if statement is never executed. However, I can load the doc in a Postman test.

Any guidance is appreciated.

I found a solution and opened a PR for a fix in the PHP class: https://github.com/espocrm/documentation/pull/709
