Icecast metadata update by php - php

Question

I need to get Icecast metadata auto update by PHP let say every 15 min which will be done by cPanel cronjob.
i had the below code but it does't work(it works if I use header location to redirect however cronjob won't be able to do that)
<?PHP
$url="http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/KJFK.TXT";
$info=file_get_contents($url);
$url_info = "http://username:password#icecast:8000/admin/metadata?mount=/mymount&mode=updinfo&song=" . urlencode($info);
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url_info);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>

Answer 1

Try checking for errors after you execute the call using curl_error:
<?php
$url="http://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/data/observations/metar/stations/KJFK.TXT";
$info=file_get_contents($url);
$url_info = "http://username:password#icecast:8000/admin/metadata?mount=/mymount&mode=updinfo&song=" . urlencode($info);
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url_info);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser, check for errors
if (curl_exec($ch) === FALSE)
{
print 'Curl-Error occurred: ' . curl_error($ch).', error code: '.curl_errno($ch);
}
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
