I can not for the life of me figure out how to keep the formatting of XML in a string, even when echoing the string of $data_string I get the XML stripped out and only the values remain.
Then I need to be able to do a CURL request via PHP with that string, I'm not sure if I have the right setup for that though.
Code:
$data_string = '<test><name>John Doe</name><age>22</age><city>seattle</age></test>';
$curl = curl_init($baseUrl);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "xmlRequest=" . $data_string);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
"Content-Length: " . strlen($data_string),
"X-DocuSign-Authentication: $header",
"Content-Type: text/xml",
"Accept: text/xml" )
);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
Test:
echo $data_string;
Result:
John Doe22seattle
You should make sure that the page you are echoing is ALSO using the MIME type text/xml.
Another way i can think of, is to escape the html characters using htmlentities()

I am having some issues with cUrl and jsonstring.
I have a PHP script which receives a jsonstring that looks like this:
'{"CreateDateTime":"20220405T000000","ExternalID":"","HCP":"36000","PHCP":"3","Course":{"ExternalID":"7A263511-A3EB-453A-BEE9-F36ED812E51D","ClubID":"1B39F017-FC26-405C-BEC0-67AA40C9360F","Name":"Marion Golfclub","Country":"US","TeeID":"","TeeName":"Yellow","TeePar":"72","TeeRating":"712000","TeeSlope":"129"}}'
Now, when trying to run a cUrl like this:
$url = "https://my.api.io/some#mail.com/clubs/members/exchangedscorecards";
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$headers = array(
"Accept: application/json",
"Content-Type: application/json",
"Authorization: basic ahuYty5yTyuytgFLb1JBVEVycG9Daw=="
);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$data = '{"CreateDateTime":"20220405T000000","ExternalID":"","HCP":"36000","PHCP":"3","Course":{"ExternalID":"7A263511-A3EB-453A-BEE9-F36ED812E51D","ClubID":"1B39F017-FC26-405C-BEC0-67AA40C9360F","Name":"Marion Golfclub","Country":"US","TeeID":"","TeeName":"Yellow","TeePar":"72","TeeRating":"712000","TeeSlope":"129"}}';
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
//for debug only!
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $resp;
I get this error:
Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Entities.ScorecardExchangeInput]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly. To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object. Path 'CreateDateTime', line 1, position 18.
What am I doing wring, or what am I missing?
Really hoping for help and thanks in advance :-)
$headers = array();
$headers[] = 'Authorization: hmac ' .$websiteKey.':'.$hmac .':'.$nonce . ':'.$time;
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
var_dump($result);
curl_close($curl);
I have the code above, i want to post to an api. Somehow its not working. I tried using a var_dump on the result variable. The result is:
string(117) "{"Message":"The request entity's media type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' is not supported for this resource."}"
Any idea why its not posting to the api?
The value of the $post=
{"AmountDebit":10,"Currency":"EUR","Invoice":"testinvoice 123","Services":{"ServiceList":[{"Action":"Pay","Name":"ideal","Parameters":[{"Name":"issuer","Value":"ABNANL2A"}]}]}}
Headers:
$headers[] = 'Authorization: hmac ' .$websiteKey.':'.$hmac .':'.$nonce . ':'.$time;
If you don't specify a Content-Type header when making a POST call with Curl, it will add one in with the value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
From the Everything Curl book:
POSTing with curl's -d option will make it include a default header that looks like Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. That's what your typical browser will use for a plain POST.
Many receivers of POST data don't care about or check the Content-Type header.
If that header is not good enough for you, you should, of course, replace that and instead provide the correct one.
Judging by your request, I imagine you'll need to add the following to the top of your script:
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
But depending on the exact API you're posting to, this might need to be different.
Have You installed curl before using it.
If it not install try google for Curl installation
and use my curl function for post request its 100% working-
public function curlPostJson() {
$headers = [];
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
$headers[] = 'Content-Length: ' .strlen(json_encode($paramdata));
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($paramdata));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return json_decode($server_output);
}
I'm trying to create the box app users using PHP. The curl for create user as follows, and it is working on terminal
curl https://api.box.com/2.0/users \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <Access token>" \
-d '{"name": "New User", "is_platform_access_only": true}' \
-X POST
Same thing I have tried with php But it is giving the following error
{"type":"error","status":400,"code":"invalid_request_parameters","help_url":"http:\/\/developers.box.com\/docs\/#errors","message":"Invalid input parameters in request","request_id":"6688622675982fb5339a37"}
The following one I have tried
$developer_token = "TOKEN" ;
$access_token_url = "https://api.box.com/2.0/users";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $access_token_url);
//Adding Parameters
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(
'name'=>'NEW USER',
'is_platform_access_only'=>'true',
));
//Adding Header
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Authorization: Bearer '.$developer_token
));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response1 = curl_exec($ch);
If I remove the Post parameters, and run with only headers it is give the result of users. But with post it is throws error.
I have rise the same question in Perl tag with Perl code. There I got answer by user #melpomene.
We should encode the data as JSON. It is working,
Then the final code is
$data = array(name=>SOMENAME,is_platform_access_only=>true);
$data = json_encode($data);
$header = array("Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>");
$ch = curl_init("https://api.box.com/2.0/users/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$response1 = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I'm attempting to make a cUrl request with PHP to the Dropbox API, in order to begin to upload a very large zip file. Here is the documentation I'm trying to implement, found at https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#files-upload -
URL structure: https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload_session/start
Example cUrl Request:
curl -X POST https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload_session/start \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <get access token>" \
--header "Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"close\": false}" \
--header "Content-Type: application/octet-stream" \
--data-binary #local_file.txt
And here is my code:
$uploads = wp_upload_dir();
$file = $uploads['basedir']."/maintainme/backups/files/backup_".$filename.'/'.$filename.'.zip';
$ch = curl_init();
$url = 'https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload_session/start';
$headers = array(
'Authorization: Bearer ' .$dropbox_token,
'Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"close\": false}',
'Content-Type: application/octet-stream',
);
$fields = array('file' => '#' . $file);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
The error message I get is:
Error in call to API function "files/upload_session/start": Bad HTTP "Content-Type" header: "application/octet-stream; boundary=------------------------1ee7d00b0e9b0c47". Expecting one of "application/octet-stream", "text/plain; charset=dropbox-cors-hack".
It seems that this 'Boundary=------------blahblahblah' gets appended to my content-type header each time I try to make this request. Anyone have any ideas??? Thanks!
Solved it! On a whim, I checked into the 'CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS' option found at http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php, and here's what it said:
The full data to post in a HTTP "POST" operation. To post a file, prepend a filename with # and use the full path. The filetype can be explicitly specified by following the filename with the type in the format ';type=mimetype'. This parameter can either be passed as a urlencoded string like 'para1=val1¶2=val2&...' or as an array with the field name as key and field data as value. If value is an array, the Content-Type header will be set to multipart/form-data. As of PHP 5.2.0, value must be an array if files are passed to this option with the # prefix. As of PHP 5.5.0, the # prefix is deprecated and files can be sent using CURLFile. The # prefix can be disabled for safe passing of values beginning with # by setting the CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD option to TRUE.
The relevant part is bolded in the paragraph above. Apparently passing an array to the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option is what was appending that 'Boundary=----blahblahblah' the Content-Type and causing the API call to fail. I changed
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields );
to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '#'.$file );
and tried again. The initial issue was fixed, but I then encountered a new issue with the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' line in this section of code:
$headers = array(
'Authorization: Bearer ' .$dropbox_token,
'Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"close\": false}',
'Content-Type: application/octet-stream',
);
Turns out, these arguments need to be properly JSON-Encoded. I did this with the code below:
$args = array('close'=>false);
$args = json_encode($args);
and then changed
'Dropbox-API-Arg: {\"close\": false}'
to:
'Dropbox-API-Arg:'.$args
Here is the complete, final code:
$uploads = wp_upload_dir();
$file = $uploads['basedir']."/maintainme/backups/files/backup_".$filename.'/'.$filename.'.zip';
error_log($file);
$args = array('close'=>false);
$args = json_encode($args);
$ch = curl_init();
$url = 'https://content.dropboxapi.com/2/files/upload_session/start';
$headers = array(
'Authorization: Bearer ' .$dropbox_token,
'Dropbox-API-Arg:'.$args,
'Content-Type: application/octet-stream',
);
$fields = array('file' => '#' . $file);
error_log($fields);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '#'.$file );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
error_log($result);
curl_close($ch);
Here is my code for trying to delete a file a file via the api
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/<MY-ZONE-ID>/purge_cache");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$headers = [
'X-Auth-Email: MYEMAIL',
'X-Auth-Key: MY-AUTH-KEY',
'Content-Type: application/json'
];
$data = json_encode(array("files" => "https://example.com/file/".$filename));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
The response i get is as follows
{
"success":false,
"errors":[
{
"code":1012,
"message":"Request must contain one of \"purge_everything\" or \"files\", or \"tags"
}
],
"messages":[
],
"result":null
}
Documentation says tag is optional so it should work
curl -X DELETE "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/023e105f4ecef8ad9ca31a8372d0c353/purge_cache" \
-H "X-Auth-Email: user#example.com" \
-H "X-Auth-Key: c2547eb745079dac9320b638f5e225cf483cc5cfdda41" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"files":["http://www.example.com/css/styles.css"],"tags":["some-tag","another-tag"]}'
What am In doing wrong here ?
I maybe because your files property is not an array.
Try
$data = json_encode(array("files" => array("https://example.com/file/".$filename)));
This is a bit confusing. Post Data is usually sent in key value pairs.
Also when the post data is an array curl changes the content type to multipart/form-data
When post data is sent as a query string, it's in the format of key1=value1&key2=value2
It appears the json is the value with no key.
I would try it both as an array and string and look at the request header.
In the request header look at the content-type and the data.
To get the request header in the curl return add this option:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
You may need to add:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$data[] = json_encode(array('files'=>"https://example.com/file/$filename"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);
$data = json_encode(array('files'=>"https://example.com/file/$filename"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data);
PS: You do not need to use the . concatenation when using double quotes for $filename
