I am trying to senddata to a url by using curl with codeigniter. I have successfully implemented the code for sending the data as below.
function postToURL($reg_no, $data)
{
$url = 'http://localhost/abcSystem/Web_data/viewPage';
$send_array = array(
'reg_no' =>$reg_no,
'data' =>$data,
);
$fields_string = http_build_query($send_array);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 600);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
$post_data = 'json='.urlencode(json_encode($send_array));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
die('Couldn\'t send request: ' . curl_error($ch));
} else {
$resultStatus = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if ($resultStatus == 200) {
print_r('success'); // this is outputting
return $output;
} else {
die('Request failed: HTTP status code: ' . $resultStatus);
}
}
curl_close($ch);
}
The out put is success. I want to see if this post data can be retrieved. So I tried to change the above url controller file as below.
$fp = fopen('php://input', 'r');
$rawData = stream_get_contents($fp);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($rawData);
echo "</pre>";
But nothing is printing. I want to get the data of posting. Please help me on this.
Your Written code
$fp = fopen('php://input', 'r');
$rawData = stream_get_contents($fp);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($rawData);
echo "</pre>";
is not to Print or capture Posted Data . Because you are dealing with Current Page PHP INPUT Streaming , whereas you are posting data on Other URL . So what you need to do is just Put a log of posted data in File. Use below code after $output = curl_exec($ch)
file_put_contents("posted_data.txt", $post_data );
This way you will be able to write your each post in file Posted_data.txt File - Make sure you give proper File Permission. If you want to keep trace of each POST than just make the file name dynamic so per API Call it can write a log.
Another option is to save the $post_data in DATABASE - Which is not suggestable from Security point of view.
Where ever you are calling your postToURL() function, you need to output the result of it.
For example:
$output = postToURL('Example', array());
echo $output;
This is because you are returning the curl output rather outputting it.

I am trying to get the latest commit from github using the api, but I encounter some errors and not sure what the problem is with the curl requests. The CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE gives me 000.
What does it mean if I got 000 and why is it not getting the contents of the url?
function get_json($url){
$base = "https://api.github.com";
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $base . $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
//curl_setopt($curl, CONNECTTIMEOUT, 1);
$content = curl_exec($curl);
echo $http_status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($curl);
return $content;
}
echo get_json("users/$user/repos");
function get_latest_repo($user) {
// Get the json from github for the repos
$json = json_decode(get_json("users/$user/repos"),true);
print_r($json);
// Sort the array returend by pushed_at time
function compare_pushed_at($b, $a){
return strnatcmp($a['pushed_at'], $b['pushed_at']);
}
usort($json, 'compare_pushed_at');
//Now just get the latest repo
$json = $json[0];
return $json;
}
function get_commits($repo, $user){
// Get the name of the repo that we'll use in the request url
$repoName = $repo["name"];
return json_decode(get_json("repos/$user/$repoName/commits"),true);
}
I use your code and it will work if you add an user agent on curl
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'YOUR_INVENTED_APP_NAME');
I'm trying to connect to this webpage of the steam api. The market_hash_name parameter is the item I want to search. And as you can see, the response is in the format json. My code is this one:
$url = "http://steamcommunity.com/market/priceoverview/?currency=1&appid=730&market_hash_name=" . urlencode($hash_name);
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 10;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$data = json_decode($data, true);
if ($data['success'] == true) {
echo $url . "<br>";
echo "Data Found: " . $data;
} else {
"Data not found";
}
Sometimes I get the correct response and everything, but sometimes I get this characters <Ê+ÍÉÿÿOüË% as the $data variable. But it still gets inside the if! So it does have the 'success' key in that JSON response, although it's not readable.
EDIT: So I've seen that sometimes the url decides to return null instead of the JSON response. I think I get this weird characters when I get the null return. But this doesn't explain why It enters to the if sentence :/
You need add this to your CURL:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
See the explanation here : PHP curl returning strange characters
I am use curl method to get response from server.
but when ehco this response it show as simple data.
but in view source it show xml format.
can anybody tell me how to print response as xml
I am using this code:
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
//curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data_tcetra);
//execute post
$result = curl_exec($ch);
//close connection
curl_close($ch);
Use this:
ob_start();
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$xml = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
echo htmlspecialchars($xml);
The actual function you're searching for is called htmlspecialchars(). It converts symbols like < to to their entity references <.
In my code above, we also need the Output Caching (ob_*) functions, so that we can prevent the output from directly being sent to the browser. I'd suggest you though that you use the better way in the code below:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result === false) {
// error handling
}
else {
echo htmlspecialchars($result);
}
I am going to have a php that upload json to the web.
Here is my file to upload (located in my local drive)
test.php
$string = file_get_contents("results.json");
$ch = curl_init();
$post_values = array('json_data' => $string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, '<dir path>/test1.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_values);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
if (!curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Received raw data' . $data;
}
curl_close($ch);
?>
This is the code to get the posted json
test1.php
<?php
$data = json_decode($_POST['json_data'], true);
header('Content-type: text/json');
foreach ($data['queue'] as $queue) {
echo "Wof = " . $queue['wof'];
echo "Input Date = " . $queue['input_date'] . "<br />";
}
?>
Both code works well.
But when I upload test1.php to the web server, it means I send my json located in my computer to the server. I doesn't work.
No Error msg I get, only it does not show the data. only show Received raw data
My question is : How to fix it?, is there something wrong with my code?
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to use curl to do a simple GET with one parameter called redirect_uri. The php file that gets called prints out a empty string for $_GET["redirect_uri"] it shows red= and it seems like nothing is being sent.
code to do the get
//Get code from login and display it
$ch = curl_init();
$url = 'http://www.besttechsolutions.biz/projects/facebook/testget.php';
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_GET,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_GETFIELDS,"redirect_uri=my return url");
//execute post
print "new reply 2 <br>";
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print $result;
// print "<br> <br>";
// print $fields_string;
die("hello");
the testget.php file
<?php
print "red-";
print $_GET["redirect_uri"];
?>
This is how I usually do get requests, hopefully it will help you:
// create curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
//return the transfer as a string
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// Follow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
// Set maximum redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 5);
// Allow a max of 5 seconds.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
// set url
if( count($params) > 0 ) {
$query = http_build_query($params);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "$url?$query");
} else {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
}
// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// Check for errors and such.
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
$errno = curl_errno($ch);
if( $output === false || $errno != 0 ) {
// Do error checking
} else if($info['http_code'] != 200) {
// Got a non-200 error code.
// Do more error checking
}
// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
In this code, the $params could be an array where the key is the name, and the value is the value.
