Cloudflare php cURL get returns '1' - php

I've noticed a wierd behavior of php curl GET query to Cloudflare API https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones
When using Postman — everything is okay and it show correct response
But when trying to get via PHP it returns '1' for some reason. Here is my code and logs:
Also tried to pass in body, but it didn't work too
Please, help me to figure out the problem and fix it. Thanks!
p.s. i've also tried to pass urlencoded variable, but this also has no effect

The problem was in logs — i've just forgot to add second true parameter to print_r so it'll return the output

PHP and Google's reCaptcha v2 - empty response every time

We have a contact.html form that uses reCaptcha v2, whose backend processing is in a php file.
I've taken enough steps to understand that when we send the verification to google's api, the response comes back empty. Below is code that gave me this proof.
$url = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret='.$secret.'&response='.$_POST["g-recaptcha-response"].'&remoteip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$verify = file_get_contents($url);
echo $url;
if (empty($verify)) echo 'Failed to fetch data';`
However, when I manually enter the url into a browser, I get a JSON response back that indicates success.
What, then, is the difference? Why would file_get_contents return empty if a simple get request from a Chrome browser give me trouble?
I have read that file_get_contents is synchronous, so I wouldn't expect this is just a noob error on waiting for the response.
Any help would be appreciated, this is my very first time working with PHP. It's not hard, but I may be missing something vital.
Sorry everyone, I can't understand why, but the problem was in the method used to access the site verify.
Using curl syntax, I finally got it working.
Change the configuration in php.ini file and don't need curl.
allow_url_fopen=0 to allow_url_fopen=1

Codeigniter POST/GET variables and $this->input->post

I have an issue with post variables in Codeigniter, for now I fixed it, but I'm not sure if this is fine, in other words, I'd really like to know why I had issue only on hosting server, not on local.
The problem:
I wanted more secure script so I replaced $_POST/$_GET with $this->input->post and $this->input->get, like in this example:
if(!empty($this->input->get('endDate'))){
$data['datepicker'] = $this->input->get('thisDate');
}
this was all working fine on my localhost, but I assume it is wrong way, as when I deployed to the hosting server, I've got ajax parse error from validation engine that I'm using, I couldn't log in the system, getting all the time ajax parse error, and somehow figured out that whenever I checked if empty$this->input->post('var) or the same with get, was wrong.
I have checked the input class from Codeigniter and figured out, that $this->input->post is returning true/false, so I changed the scripts in the format like this:
if(!($this->input->get('endDate'))){
$data['datepicker'] = $this->input->get('thisDate');
}
this worked fine.
I'm still wondering - why the code worked on the localhost, but it didn't on the server or what is the best way to check if the POST/GET variable is empty or not.Seems I really miss something out.
Thank you.
Consider that checking for empty($this->post->get('var')) will always return false, no matter if the POST/GET exists, so it might be for that reason only. - So i'm not sure why you got the error on a different environment, but the first statement is wrong, it's exactly like writing if(true)
Also, I'd check for a strong assertion of false for inputs, You never know when you might need a zero as an input and if you're used to this practice, you might get an accidental false.

Wordpress XMLRPC API post (html) error parse error not well formed

I am using Wordpress's XMLRPC API and the IXR_Library php class for WP API. wp.newPost is working normally if I use plain text or just simple text in body/content of the post but when I am posting a autocreated full html/shortcode content, it always gives me this error
Array ( [faultCode] => -32700 [faultString] => parse error. not well formed )
The content I am trying to post is a post content I normally use within WP with shortcodes but I want to post it via php using API since I am trying to automate my blogging.
You can check the body/content I am trying to post below
http://pastebin.com/U94XVZGT
Thats the content thats shown in XML debug mode (probably seems already html encoded)
Below is the full XML call and response returned via debugging, have removed user/pass from it
http://pastebin.com/26Nyx97K
I would really appreciate any possible help, I have already tried php's htmlentities and htmlspecialchar functions to encode my body and even tried str_replace to replace[ ] brackets in thought that they might be causing it
Again, its certainly due to the content code as I tried just a Hello World plain content and it worked ------------------------------------------------------------
A Update, earlier I was getting the html content from a textarea using $_POST, just now I tried to use same content in same variable but used ' ' single quotes instead around the content body and now posting works but I get a error
Warning: strpos(): Empty delimiter in wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php on line 4338
So if I use $body=$_POST['body']; it doesnt works and gives main error but directly using $body=' htmlcontent inside '; works but gives above strpos error
Please try adding the xml package:
sudo apt-get install php-xml
, this has resolved my problem.
TO anyone else having this problem, I fixed it. At end of it seemed the problem was due to wrong character encoding, I needed to Pass UTF8 but the content was being passed in some other char encoding (windows one) making some text and other languages not parseable, I modified my code to make it UTF 8 and now it works
I've changed my password to contain no symbols and it solved the issue.
I'm still not sure what broke everything initially but you might as well try changing it and trying again and see if that works for you.
To anyone else having this problem, it might also relate to WordPress bug #18310.
There is a patch for WordPress available at http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/18310/18310-3.diff

PHP 'QUERY_STRING' not returning anything

I'm using the following in my php code:
$file="query.txt";
$f=fopen($file,'a');
fwrite($f,"Query String:".$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']."\n");
fclose($f);
It never returns anything. I'm simply trying to record the queried url when someone visits (i.e. http://example.com/index.php?q=string. Other $_SERVER fields seem to work just fine, it only seems to be the query string that doesn't work. Maybe there's something I need to setup in my .htaccess?
I'm hoping someone has an answer to how to get this to information to show.
This solved the problem:
$_SERVER['REDIRECT_QUERY_STRING']

POST with curl gives correct output but with AJAX gives an error

I am quite frustrated with a very weird issue. I am trying to do a very simple thing here. I would like to post a form to an endpoint. I tried using the following command:
curl -d "Contact=Aditya&address1=1510 E. 9th Street&address2=Apt. 111&city=Tucson&state=AZ&zip=85719&Phone1=5207849817&Phone2=1237849812&email=aditya15417#yahoo.com&key2=09 New Lead&key5=AmpushU&uhsgradyr=1950&uhighlevel=AA&ucourseint=BA Internet Mktg&uCampaignID=Herlambang&utextperm=YES&uleaddate=20110910&uleadtime=19:18 PST" http://dev.degreeamerica.com/candidate_test.php
And yes it succeeds just fine, however when I try it via the site it gives me an error. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? The parameter I have on the curl is just something I copy and paste from firebug POST request, so the parameter is all the same.
Is there something wrong with me doing the AJAX?
You can't receive the results of a cross-domain post like that. Your page is on adityaherlambang.com, but you're posting to degreeamerica.com, so you can't get the results
One solution is to use a server-side proxy on adityaherlambang.com, and post using libcurl to degreeamerica.com, while returning whatever kind of status you want to your own site's JavaScript.
