I have been reading documentation and queries for several hours and I think I have a correct POST made with cURL.
It communicates correctly, because I receive the auth key and OK is validated, but then it doesn't receive any parameters from the post. I think some parameter must be missing, but I don't see anything in the documentation.
My code:
$data = "email=name#xxxx.com&template=3";
$url = "https://xxxx.net/xxx/aaa/bbb";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
"keyname: keyvalue"
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
Does anyone know if I should stick some more configuration??
after I succeeded in making a POST request and grab the values in the web service i'm building. I'm facing a problem regarding the Put Request. I managed to make the Put Request and I sent an array containing name and id for the update purpose this way:
curl_setopt($ic, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
But when I try to grab the id sent using $_POST['id'] I get the undefined index error, I printed_r($_POST) and it's empty. Now I dont't believe there is a super global array for PUT like for POST and even if it exists , I don't think there is :
curl_setopt($ic, CURLOPT_PUTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
in curl have you even been through a similar error? any idea?
To take a look at my previous post concerning the post request to have a better understanding of what I'm trying to do , it's here
Try this
curl_setopt($ic, CURLOPT_PUTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
and take it by
$array_get = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
use this CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST =PUT and then just set values with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
or
you can use custom header CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER
eg.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT'));
The script below demonstrates how you make a PUT request.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "url");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT"); // note the PUT here
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string)
));
// execute the request
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
The $_POST only for method=post;
You use method=put, so the $_POST is empty.
You can get the putdata like this:
$_PUT = array();
if('PUT' == $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']){
parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $_PUT);
}
This is the secret to sending a PUT request:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); // <-- NOTE this is POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT"); // <-- NOTE this is PUT
A full example:
$vals = array("email" => "hi#example.com", "phone" => "12345");
$jsonData = json_encode($vals);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); // <-- NOTE this
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT"); // <-- NOTE this
//We want the result / output returned.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type:application/json',
'Content-Length:' . strlen($jsonData),
'X-Apikey:Any_other_header_value_goes_here'
));
//Our fields.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonData);
//Execute the request.
$response = curl_exec($ch);
echo $response;
Here is my code so far...This will get the contents of the URL after posting in the form....however, I want it to get the file contents before AND after posting in the form using CURL. How can I do this?
$url = 'http://google.com.au';
$ch = curl_init();
$data = array(
'var1' => 'text1',
'var2' => 'text2',
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$result = curl_multi_exec($mh, $active);
echo $result;
curl_close($ch);
Simply make two requests. One as a normal GET request, and the second as a POST with all of the post data.
I'm attempting to use the Github v3 API and posting JSON to update a profile (or some other call) and get the following response from Github;
Array
(
[message] => Body should be a JSON Hash
)
I have gone over the relevant page on the API Docs: http://developer.github.com/v3/users/
And this page: http://developer.github.com/v3/#http-verbs which covers POST/PATCH
Here is the code that I'm using
$data = array("bio" => "This is my bio" );
$data_string = json_encode($data);
function curl($url) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "USERNAME:PASSWORD");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
$content = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $content;
}
$result = json_decode(curl('https://api.github.com/user'),true);
I have also tried CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST as 'POST' and 'PATCH' but got the same error response for both.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for posting data to the API?
You have to either global $data_string or pass the $data_string variable to curl() for reusability.
Example:
function curl($curl, $data)
{
$data_string = json_encode($data);
// your code here
}
You should specify the header like this:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
I have the following php code
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $this->_agent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $this->_headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING , "gzip");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $this->_cookie_file_path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $this->_cookie_file_path);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '{"folderId":"1","parameters":{"amount":3,"ascending":false,"offset":0,"sort":"date"}}');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
But I don't understand why is not working . The API that I'm posting the JSON to says that the parameters were not received . Is there anything wrong in my code ? I think the whole trick is on the JSON parameters... I'm not sure how to send them as I couldn't see any "nave->value" pair with the http analyzer as it usually appears in simple forms ... just that JSON code without any "name".
You can try as follows.
Basically if we have a array of data then it should be json encoded using php json_encode. And you should also add content-type in header which can be defined in curl as curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
$data = array("country"=>"US","states"=>array("MHASASAS"=>"MH","XYZABABA"=>"XYZ"));
$postdata = json_encode($data);
$ch = curl_init($URL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
you can use this and replace with
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '{"folderId":"1","parameters":{"amount":3,"ascending":false,"offset":0,"sort":"date"}}');
use this
$Parameters = array(
'MerchantCode' => $MerchantCode,
'PriceValue' => $amount,
'ReturnUrl' => $callback,
'InvoiceNumber' => $resnum,
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($Parameters));
If:you use post method,you should know that:
CURLOPT_POST TRUE to do a regular HTTP POST. This POST is the normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded kind, most commonly used by HTML forms.
#see http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
So:you can do like this:
$ar_form = array('name'=>'PHPJungle','age'=>66,'gender'=>'male');
$poststr = http_build_query($ar_form ); # important
$options[CURLOPT_HTTPGET] = false;
$options[CURLOPT_POST] = true;
$options[CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS] = $poststr ; //default type:application/x-www-from-urlencoded
curl_setopt_array ( $ch, $options );
# #todo your other codes
This is my class I have used for a long time.The class is based on PHP cURL.
It supports GET/POST，HTTP/HTTPS.
#see https://github.com/phpjungle/iHttp/
You can post a json data with curl like so:
Using Command Prompt:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"folderId":"1","parameters":{"amount":3,"ascending":false,"offset":0,"sort":"date"}}' $url
Using PHP:
$data = array("folderId"=>"1","parameters"=>array("amount"=>3,"ascending"=>false,"offset"=>0,"sort"=>"date"));
$postdata = json_encode($data);
OR
$postdata = '{"folderId":"1","parameters":{"amount":3,"ascending":false,"offset":0,"sort":"date"}}';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print_r($result);
You haven't set the content type, so the post data is being sent as form data. Try setting the content type to application/json.
If that doesn't work, try wrapping the json string with an array.
$link = "http://test.domain/myquery";
$json = '{"folderId":"1","parameters":{"amount":3,"ascending":false,"offset":0,"sort":"date"}}';
$postdata = json_decode($json);
echo openurl($link, $postdata);
This works as json decode converts a json string into array.
function openurl($url, $postvars = "") {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postvars);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, '3');
$content = trim(curl_exec($ch));
curl_close($ch);
return $content;
}
if your API endpoint using body for send request using json data may be you can use Guzzle the doc is here doc.
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
$client = new Client();
$request = $this->client->post($url,array(
'content-type' => 'application/json'
),array());
$request->setBody($json_data);
$response = $request->send();
return $response;
hope this work.
You can do it make by steps:
$data = array(
'folderId'=>"1","parameters"=>array(
"amount"=>"3","ascending"=>false,"offset"=>0,"sort"=>"date"
)
);
$data_string = http_build_query($data);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($data));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$result = json_decode($result,true);
I don't know if you need the header. I think that by default it is already application/x-www-form-urlencode
If it doesn't work, try changing the $data values in array. Think it helps. :)
I'm not sure, that this is the solution but this works for me when posting json, change the json from
'{"folderId":"1","parameters":{"amount":3,"ascending":false,"offset":0,"sort":"date"}}'
to
"{'folderId':'1','parameters':{'amount':3,'ascending':false,'offset':0,'sort':'date'}}"
The only change i made was the double quotes are now on the outside, that works for me but I'm obviously posting to a different server
Only other help I could offer is to download a network debugging tool such as Fiddler or Charles proxy and monitor the requests sent/received, it could be a case that something else is wrong in your code.
Hope i helped :)
first of all
please check the curl http status code
$http_code= curl_get_info($exec_res,CURL_HTTP_CODE);
then modify this request header set with post header API server add a recorder to log those request info.
