I'm using Geoplugin to retrieve users' current location. Everything works fine except the data is wrong. My Country is Oman but the output is USA.
Note that, I'm not using VPN or Proxy.
Code:
function file_get_contents_curl($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); //Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
$url = unserialize(file_get_contents_curl('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?'.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']));
$orig_lat = $url["geoplugin_latitude"];
$orig_lon = $url["geoplugin_longitude"];
echo $orig_lat;
echo $orig_lon;
I'm using also cUrl instead of file_get_contents because allow_url_fopen in off in the server.
Output:
41.877602
-87.627197
EDIT:
I figure out that I forget to write ip in the url. http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip=
Problem SOLVED :)
Using your code returns real coordenates to my location.
Geoplugin uses MaxMind DB to get data, you can check this source.

I am trying to fetch data from a URL using cURL...this is something I would be able to do but the URL that I want to fetch data from has a section of php code within it - i.e. the URL is populated using a values generated by an earlier section of code.
I want to access the URL, take the figures out of it and then plug those figures into something else. At the minute I am hitting a bit of a roadblock as the php doesn't populate the URL...any ideas?
The code I am using is:
$url = "https://*START OF API ADDRESS*<?php echo $request_ids; ?>*END OF API ADDRESS*";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
$result=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//var_dump(json_decode($result, true));
$rates = json_decode($result, true);
// Save result
$rates['last_updated'] = time();
file_put_contents($file, json_encode($rates));
}
I try to get odata produced by a navision webservice. When I directly access the url given using chrome browser, the page asks for user name and password and then chrome shows xml data as expected.
But when i use a PHP script, it always returns "1".
My code looks like this:
$url = 'http://103.7.1.182:14048/DynamicsNAV71-6/OData/Company(\'Unit%20G%205\')/Item_Master_on_hand_no_Desc';
$login = 'Gem-gae\senzo1:Bsbsenzo2018';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen(1))
);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $output;
Is there any mistakes with that code ?
Thanks for your help
There's no mistake on your code, it successfully connects to the external server via cURL and retrieves the data.
The value in $output (if you do a var_dump) is true (that's why you see 1 if you echo it).
Said that, the issue is on the server you are contacting (103.7.1.182:14048).
You probably need to send some data or something, I can't tell you exactly what because I don't know what is in that server.
To send data, you can add a curl_setopt line:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
Where $data is an array.
Following is the call to an URL using CURL :
<?php
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);
$link = $_GET['link'];
$url = "http://www.complexknot.com/user/verify/link_".$link."/";
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($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);
?>
The variable $url contains one URL which I'm hitting using CURL.
The logic written in the file(present in a variable $url) is working absolutely fine.
After executing the code I want the control to be redirected to one URL. For it I've written following code :
header('Location: http://www.complexknot.com/login.php');
exit;
The following code is not working. The URL http://www.complexknot.com/login.php is not opening and a blank white page appears. This is the issue I'm facing.
If I don't use the CURL and hit the URL i.e. the URL contained in $url then it gets redirect to the URL http://www.complexknot.com/login.php that means header function works fine when I hit the URL in browser.
Why it's not working when I call it from CURL?
Please someone help me.
Thanks in advance.
This is happening because CURL is outputting the data. You must use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); in order to let CURL returning data instead of outputting it.
<?php
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 0);
ini_set('display_errors', 0);
error_reporting(0);
$link = $_GET['link'];
$url = "http://www.complexknot.com/user/verify/link_$link/";
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
header('Location: http://www.complexknot.com/login.php');
You can use
<?php echo "<script>window.location.href = 'http://www.complexknot.com/login.php';</script>";die; ?>
I need a function that return me the Timezone of a specific location, so i use the
Google Time Zone API.
function timezoneLookup($lat, $lng){
$url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location='.$lat.','.$lng.'×tamp='.time().'&sensor=false';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
The function doesn't work because if i return $url i can see that GET variable "×tamp=" is transformed into "×tamp=".
If i run the script outside the function it works.
WHY??
----UPDATE----
I resolved the problem, the curl doesn't work with https://, so i add:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
See this for more information PHP cURL Not Working with HTTPS
The function works fine. The reason you're seeing ×tamp= is because × is being converted to ×. If you view source you'll see the correct url(instead of viewing the converted entity on the web page).
Why ; is not required
There is no problem with this function. If you echo that URL you will get the multiplication sign because it is being filtered through html and recognizing the ascii code. This only happens when you view it though and html viewer (browser), if you view source you will see the original string.
To confirm that this conversion will not occur when passed through curl_setopt(), I ran your code on my server and got an expected result.
echo timezoneLookup(52.2023913, 33.2023913);
function timezoneLookup($lat, $lng){
$url = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/timezone/json?location='.$lat.','.$lng.'×tamp='.time().'&sensor=false';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
Returned...
{ "dstOffset" : 3600, "rawOffset" : 7200, "status" : "OK", "timeZoneId" : "Europe/Kiev", "timeZoneName" : "Eastern European Summer Time" }
If this code is not working for you then it could be a networking issue. Try doing curl with another webpage and see what happens. Also, with a simple api call like this you could easily use file_get_contents()
I have this issue please.
I use this script here to send an automatic SMS:
<?php
function get_data($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $data;
}
$returned_content = get_data('http://url.goes.here:8080/bulksms/bulksms?username=user&passwd=password&type=0&dlr=1&destination=phone&source=FLM&message=hello');
?>
The issue is, if i submit the URL directly i get something like:
1701|355662080090|a2406d38-1baf-42a2-a1a5-e5798859e400
And a sms arrives to my phone, but if i use the above methods i won't get the sms..
Anyone can suggest me why is so?
Thanks..
If you DO have allow_url_fopen activated in your php.ini, then you should look into changing the user agent for the request (use cURL).
Many SMS gateways use user agent filtering when processing their requests...
Correct me if I am wrong, but I suppose you use RouteSMS, right?
