  Hi Sajid,
  
  you don't need to create a new url to pass to the api.
  You can download the file and put it into the post-request directly.
  
  Best wishes

  sure.
  
  

  Download the file you want to convert and save it temporary to disc to use the following snippet. filepath + filename stored in $fillePath:

              $url = 'https://cloud.ocrsdk.com/processImage?language=german,latin,english&profile=textExtraction&exportFormat=xml';
  
              // Send HTTP POST request and ret xml response
              $curlHandle = curl_init();
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$applicationId:$password");
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "PHP Cloud OCR SDK Sample");
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
              $post_array = array();
              if((version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.5') >= 0)) {
                  $post_array["my_file"] = new \CURLFile($filePath);
              } else {
                  $post_array["my_file"] = "@".$filePath;
              }
              curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_array);
              $response = curl_exec($curlHandle);
              if($response == FALSE) {
                  $errortext = curl_error($curlHandle);
                  curl_close($curlHandle);
                  $error = true;
              }
