I'm running the XML to PHP install of paid Google site search.
https://code.google.com/p/google-csbe-example/downloads/detail?name=gss.php&can=2&q=
My initial implementation runs perfectly on a LAMP server, however I now have to run a PHP environment on the Windows Azure Platform.
It appears as though the $url variable is not being passed through cURL, as the $result varaible returns as NULL.
$url = 'https://www.google.com/cse?cx=' . $your_cx_number . '&client=google-csbe&output=xml_no_dtd&q=' . $q;
if(isset($start)){
$url .= '&start=' . $start;
}
If i modify the value of $url to a different remote xml file, with a little adjustment to the output structure, I get the expected results.
I have tried several different troubleshooting steps including:
cURL: alternate xml feed renders
simplexml: alternate rss feed renders
permissions: site permissions aren't required google cse dashboard
alternate azure site: tested and failed
alternate LAMP hosted site: tested and success
alternate search setup: this had no effect
is the domain blocked to google: don't think so
url queries blocked: not sure if this is causing any issues
I'm stumped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Here's the full code (minus the cx number):
<?php
//ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
//ini_set('display_errors',1);
//error_reporting(-1);
$q = $_GET['q'];
$q = urlencode($q);
//WRAPPED IN A IF STATEMENT SO PROMOTED RESULTS SHOW UP ON THE FIRST PAGE
if(isset($_GET['start'])){
$start = $_GET['start'];
}
$your_cx_number = 'enter_your_paid_google_site_search_cx_number';
$url = 'https://www.google.com/cse?cx=' . $your_cx_number . '&client=google-csbe&output=xml_no_dtd&q=' . $q;
if(isset($start)){
$url .= '&start=' . $start;
}
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);// allow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // return into a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); // times out after 30s
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, true); // set POST method
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "postparam1=postvalue"); // add POST fields
//submit the xml request and get the response
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//now parse the xml with
$xml = simplexml_load_string($result);
$START = $xml->RES['SN'];
$END = $xml->RES['EN'];
$RESULTS = $xml->RES->M;

cURL error reporting returned an error code : 60
Curl error: 60 - SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
A search for a similar error provided the solution
HTTPS and SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed, CA is OK
Add in the line:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
The full cURL function is now:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, true);

EDIT: For the solution, view reply from Barmar below. Hope this helps anyone with a similar problem.
I'm trying to take a login from my test.php file and cURL it to a site which uses the data to simulate a login on another page (I know this is tedious, but this isn't the full extent of what I'm doing as a whole, just where I have the problem). So I post an encoded json to the index.php url which has no problem decoding it. The information passed is then used and the decoded json is edited to show successful or unsuccessful login. The json is then encoded once again and echoed onto the page and held in $contents on test.php. When I try to decode it on this file I get NULL everytime. I've tried a ton of things and am just starting to think I made a stupid mistake somewhere so I'm desperately looking for any help here.
-If I echo $contents it shows:
{"user":"user","pass":"password","success":true}
-If I var_dump(trim($contents)) it shows (formatted exactly as shown):
string(364) "
{"user":"user","pass":"password","success":true} "
-last_json_error_msg shows:
SYNTAX ERROR
-I've tried trimming, utfencoding, iconv, setting curl headers and literally everything I've seen recommended on other posts here.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance guys.

index.php is printing HTML before the JSON (weren't you suspicious when var_dump() said that the string is 365 characters long, but you can only see about 50?). When the script is being used to return JSON, it can't produce any other output.
So check for the data parameter before printing any output. And if it's found, exit the script after sending the JSON, so you don't print the HTML.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['data'])){
logInfo();
exit();
}
?>

if($code == [SUCCESSFUL LOGIN HTTP CODE]){
$data->success = true;
} else {

}

curl_close ($ch);

A simpler solution would probably be to put the code that returns logInfo() into a different script.
You should do
json_encode(get_object_vars($data));
in logInfo function
A couple of things I would recommend. It's not a good practice to define a class inside a function. You should have your class in a separate file. It helps keep your code organised.
Secondly, its good to follow either snake case or camel case for defining classes / methods / functions etc.
Snake case eg: my_function_name_to_execute
Camel case eg: MyFunctionNameToExecute
Try to check resulting JSON syntax using this library https://github.com/Seldaek/jsonlint
UPDATE
It correctly detects extra HTML from index.php and other possible problems.
Following example
use Seld\JsonLint\JsonParser;
$parser = new JsonParser();
$exception = $parser->lint('<html>{"user":"user","pass":"password","success":true}');
echo $exception->getMessage();
will output:
Parse error on line 1:
<html>{"user":"user"
^
Expected one of: 'STRING', 'NUMBER', 'NULL', 'TRUE', 'FALSE', '{', '['
I need to make one API request to AWS Route53 to create a reusable delegation set. You can't do this through the console web interface, it has to be through the API.
Here is the documentation for making this API request: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/api-create-reusable-delegation-set.html
<?php
$baseurl = "route53.amazonaws.com/2013-04-01/delegationset";
$body = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CreateReusableDelegationSetRequest xmlns="https://route53.amazonaws.com/doc/2013-04-01/">
<CallerReference>whitelabel DNS</CallerReference>
</CreateReusableDelegationSetRequest>';
$ch = curl_init();
// Set query data here with the URL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $baseurl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Host: route53.amazonaws.com','X-Amzn-Authorization: '));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, '3');
$rest = curl_exec($ch);
if ($rest === false)
{
// throw new Exception('Curl error: ' . curl_error($crl));
print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch));
}
curl_close($ch);
print_r($rest);
?>
I know the request isn't signed/authenticated, but I'm not even able to connect to the server. I would at least like to get an error message that says I'm not authenticated before I continue. Instead all I get is "connection refused".
I'm sure I'm doing something completely wrong here. But Google has been of no use.
scrowler was right. I changed:
$baseurl = "route53.amazonaws.com/2013-04-01/delegationset";
to
$baseurl = "https://route53.amazonaws.com/2013-04-01/delegationset";
I got the error message I was expecting and now I can work on the next step.
I'm having a lot of trouble integrating Sagepay InFrame Server with PHP, as there are no integration kits available for the new protocol (v3). I have the old kits for v2.23 but much of the code therein is deprecated.
At the moment the only way i have been successful in retrieving an OK status from the Sagepay Server servers is to have a form with the collection of hidden values required by Sagepay, including the cryptography field, and using the server URL as the form action. This gives me a status of 'OK' and the SecurityKey etc in the browser tab, but its not much use in the browser tab as i need that POST response back on my server, not on theirs.
For this i opted for curl. I hold the return values for curl_exec in a variable called $rawresponse, and dump the response after each attempt, and as it stands $rawresponse is returning as a false boolean:
$curlSession = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$data['Crypt'] = new CurlFile('filename.png', 'image/png', 'filename.png');
curl_setopt ($curlSession, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,30);
curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curlSession, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
$rawresponse = curl_exec($curlSession);
Now as you can see here I am having to force the Crypt value to be of type CurlFile, which is what i think is breaking the request, however if i dont do that i get the following error:
"The usage of the #filename API for file uploading is deprecated. Please use the CURLFile class instead"
I can only ascertain from this that the cryptography is being mistaken for a file (possibly because the string starts with #), and to counter this im trying to force it to be an image.
So my question is this - is there a particular way to use CurlFile so cryptography strings can be understood? Is there a better way of integrating this functionality with Sagepay that anyone knows about? It really is a very confusing system, and the good documentation is let down by a complete lack of example.
Apologies for this, I was building the string the wrong way. Just in case anyone has a similar problem in the future i'll paste the code that works for me:
public function registerTransaction()

Microsoft's own PHP example for new Bing API doesn't work. I tried in many ways, it just shows:
Server Error

You do not have permission to view this directory or page
using the credentials that you supplied.
Example Coding given in the official documentation is below, it breaks up at
'proxy' => 'tcp://127.0.0.1:8888',
I am 100% sure my key is correct, and when I just enter it in the browser url it works fine, i.e
https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/Web?Query=%27love+message%27

I have tried both google API and Yahoo API both, none of those were as difficult as this.
after days of argument with microsoft techinchal support they accpeted that it didnt work
here is the proper coding which uses CURL do this in the BING API, apply CURL method instead of the file_get_contents which can’t pass the correct authentication information from Linux client to BING service.

I had to add

in order to make it work, at least in my local copy (WAMP).
Hope it helps, I have been messing with this all the day.
$WebSearchURL = $ServiceRootURL . 'Image?$format=json&Query=';
This is part of the prob
This wont give the url bing is looking for
e.g. https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/SearchWeb/Web?Query=%27love+message%27
it would be
https://api.datamarket.azure.com/Bing/Search/Image?$format=json&Query=%27love+message%27
whereas you want a web not an image search and also format and other parameters shld be after the query
"image" should be "web"
I just spent 3 days trying to get this to work.
I've just posted an example of how to connect to Bing/Azure API using Unirest Library here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/20096151/257815
I have a web service to which I send a xml request (application/x-www-form-urlencoded encoded) and get a response back. These are sent to the URL contained within a query parameter called 'xml'
When I use a simple html form such as the one below, I am returned a result. However, when I use my php code, I am returned an error. Perhaps it is because of this: These are sent to the URL contained within a query parameter called 'xml'? If that's the case, how do I send it in that parameter? I'd be very grateful if someone could point out what I've been doing wrong. Many thanks

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS expects either an associative array, or a raw post string. Since you are passing it a string, it treats it as a raw post string. So either of these should work:
$response = xml_post(array('xml' => $xml), $url, $port);
OR
$response = xml_post('xml='.urlencode($xml), $url, $port);
