I've been testing/learning the rpc interface for Bitcoind daemon, and using the php library successfully up until now.
I am trying to create a new raw transaction, i got a lot of example over internet but i don't know function's params where should be comes from.
example :
$bitcoin = new Bitcoin('myuser','mypwd','127.0.0.1','8332');
$bitcoin->createrawtransaction(
array(
array(
"txid"=>"aed23bb3ec7e93d69450d7e5ea49d52fcfbef9d380108f2be8fe14ef705fcea5", /where this string comes from or how i have to generate it??
"vout"=>2 //what is this vout, in this case what means the number 2??
),
),
array(
"1GTDT3hYk4x4wzaa9k38pRsHy9SPJ7qPzT"=>0.006,//destination wallet address and required amount
));
where "txid" comes from, or how is it genarated
where vout value have to be comes from.
Look at this description. It's excellent.
(Very) Short version:
The input of every transaction is output of an older transaction.
txid Is the Transaction ID of a transaction you received (containing at least the value, you want to spend). vout is the index of your address in the original txid.
You can look at some actual transactions here: https://blockchain.info/

I used to track custom events (API hits) with google analytics and PHP via cURL, but now analytics is deprecating this method. I understood that the new analytics Web+App is used to track this kind of events, but i cannot find anything that allows me to track those events.
my current code:
$response = $client->post('https://www.google-analytics.com/collect', [
'form_params' => [
'v' => 1,
't' => 'event',
'ec' => 'ap1-v1-xxx',
'ea' => 'invoke',
'el' => 'MY-API',
'tid' => 'XXXXXXXX',
'cid' => '555'
]
]);
Doing this, i was able to track every hit and have statistics about API usage, this is what the analytics panel looked-like:
But, as i said, analytics is deprecating this method, and it stopped tracking my hits:
https://support.google.com/firebase/answer/9167112?ref_topic=6386699
There is a way to keep track these custom events? I can't find anything alike in PHP or cURL whatsoever.
Thanks!
It's not so much the method (measurement protocol) has been deprecated, it's that it is using a new, as of yet apparently undocumented, version 2 of the measurement protocol.
That makes sense - you cannot sent hit type anymore (because there is now a single type event, whose name can be customized), and you cannot send event category, action and label, since those no longer exist, and have been replaced by event parameters.
Since there does not seem to be documentation yet, you can do a bit of reverse engineering. I looked at the request issued by the code from a web&app property (actually gtag.js) for a pageview:
https://www.google-analytics.com/g/collect? // endpoint, remains the same
v=2 // protocol version, v2
&tid=G-XXXXXXXXXX // tracking id
&_p=1253409603 // no idea, don't think this needs to be set
&sr=1920x1080 // screen resolution, not applicable to a serverside call
&ul=de-de // user agent language, probably not relevant for a serverside call
&cid=533127994.1575982871 // client id
&_s=1 // no idea
&en=pageview // event - this corresponds broadly to hit type t in the previous version
&dl=http://localhost/test2.html // document location
&dr= // document referrer, not relevant for a serverside call
&dt=Title // document title
&sid=1575982870 // no idea
&sct=1 // no idea
&seg=1 // no idea
I think for a serverside application you can ignore all parameters marked with "no idea" (I assume that is something determined by the Javascript tracking code).
Instead of "v=1" you need to set "v=2", and instead of "t" for hit type you need "en" for event name. I will see if I can work out how to sent event parameters (I am in the office and don't really have time to experiment), but in any case this should be enough to get you started (I tested a call via curl and it showed up in the realtime section of a web&app property, so it should work for you, too).
I would like to use the Google Sheets API Batch Update because the calls to update individual cells are extremely slow. The problem is that cells that have no data do not come back as part of a cell feed, so I do not have the necessary edit URL to include those cells in the Batch Update. I have seen reference to a "return-empty" parameter in the Google .NET API which will supposedly return all cells, even empty cells, in a cell feed, but I cannot find any reference to that for the "Protocol" API I am using in PHP (here is an example of a reference to the "return-empty" parameter: Writing to an empty cell in Google Spreadsheets). Does anyone know how to get the cell feed request to return all cells (including empty cells)? Or am I doomed to using the abysmally slow cell update requests?
Quick Hack
If you're using the same API I am, then in googlespraedsheet/api.php at line 152 after
$cellRangeCriteriaQuerystringList = [];
You can add:
$cellRangeCriteriaQuerystringList[] = "return-empty=true";
Better Way
There's a better way, which I have added in my own fork. I created a pull request.
If you work with my fork (or if the pull request is accepted), then you can just add 'returnEmpty' => true to your $cellRange. For example:
$cellList = $spreadsheetAPI->getWorksheetCellList(
$spreadsheetKey,
$worksheetID,
['rowStart' => $rowStart,
'rowEnd' => $rowEnd,
'returnEmpty' => true]);
Once I've identified identified the email addresses of my list segment (using get_emails() custom function, I am setting up my list segment as follows:
$batch = get_emails();
//now create my list segment:
$api->listStaticSegmentAdd(WEDDING_LIST_ID, 'new_wedding_guests');
$api->listStaticSegmentMembersAdd(WEDDING_LIST_ID, 'new_wedding_guests', $batch);
//do I build vars for a campaign?
$options = array (
'list_id' => WEDDING_LIST_ID, //What value id's my list segment?
'subject' => 'Alpha testing.',
'from_email' => 'wedding#juicywatermelon.com',
'from_name' => 'Pam & Kellzo',
'to_name' => $account->name,
);
From here can I use a basic campaign and send it?
$content['text'] = "Some text.";
$content['html'] = get_link($account);
$cid = $api->campaignCreate('regular', $options, $content);
$result = $api->campaignSendNow($cid);
I'm not sure if I'm understanding the api documentation correctly. I also tried 'list_id' => 'new_wedding_guests'; which failed to create a campaign.
Thanks!
I'll assume this is test code and just make the cursory mention of how you probably don't need to be creating a new Static Segment every time. However, your call to add members is not going to work. Per the listStaticSegmentMembersAdd documentation, you should be passing the static segment id, not the name of it. Also note that the docs cross-reference themselves when input params can come from other calls - that parameter there is a good example (it also happens to be returned by listStaticSegmentAdd).
Your options for campaignCreate look like a good start. The documentation for it has examples below - those examples are included in the PHP MCAPI wrapper you likely downloaded. As per above, the list_id you need is the one for the list you used in the listStaticSegment calls (also linked in the documentation).
Now the real key - further down in the campaignCreate docs is the segment_opts parameter - that is how you control segmentation. Follow the link it gives you and you'll find tons of info on the ways you can do segmentation, including using a static_segment.
Hopefully all of that made sense, if not, take a step back and check out these links (and play with segmentation in the app), then it should:

Our Release Info on how Static Segments are used
Using the AMI (API connection with an Asteriskserver so I can use a PHP Socket connection) I'm trying to catch the recieving data using PHP in a way that I can record outgoing and incomming calls for the CRM system (webbased) used at the company I work for.
But I'm not getting the result I am hoping for...
The full code can be found on PasteBin http://pastebin.com/AwRNBW2G
I catch the outgoing calls this way, and that works:
if($givenkey = array_search("Context: from-internal", $content)){
$calleridKey = $givenkey + 1;
$idSIP = $givenkey - 1;
$dialNumber = str_replace("Extension: 0","31",$content[$calleridKey]);
$dialNumber = str_replace("Extension: ", "", $dialNumber);
$fromSIP = str_replace("Channel: SIP/", "", $content[$idSIP]);
$fromSIP = substr($fromSIP, 0, 2);
$dialTime = date('r');
$uitgaand = array(
"Phonenumber" => $dialNumber,
"Type" => "Uitgaand",
"datetime" => $dialTime,
"SIP" => $fromSIP
);
The incomming calls are being catched this way, but that's not working properly:
if($givenkey = array_search("AppData: Using CallerID ", $content)){
if(array_search("Channel: SIP/31000000000", $content)+5 == $InCallKey = array_search("AppData: Using CallerID", $content)){
$calleridNum = explode('"',str_replace('AppData: Using CallerID "',"",$content[$InCallKey]));
$pickupSource = array_search("Source: SIP/31000000000", $content);
if($pickupSource+1 == $pickupKey = array_search("Destination: SIP/", $content)){
$pickupBy = str_replace("Destination: SIP/","",$content[$pickupkey]);
$pickupBy = substr($pickupBy, 0, 2);
$dialTime = date('r');
$inkomend = array(
"Phonenumber" => $calleridNum[0],
"Type" => "Binnenkomend",
"datetime" => $dialTime,
"SIP" => $pickupBy
);
I have the array that I make not available right now but, if necessary, I can save the array and post it here with personal data filtered.
I know that the code I'm using right now is not neat, but I wrote it with the goal: quick result. If I have a working code I will optimize it and clean it up. Tips about this are also very welcome. It's too bad that I cannot find any good documentation about this so I have to start from the beginning and could only find the working class that I'm using right now, however it's not very complete.
I had to write this part without any knowledge about VOIP or AMI or Asterisk.
To be short, here are my questions:
- How can I record incoming and outgoing calls to eventually save them in a database by using the AMI?
- How can I keep alive the connection with the server the best way? The method I'm using now is not optimal as the connection fails atleast once within 48 hours.
- Do you have tips or suggestions about optimizing the code and neater code-writing? And do you maybe know any functions that I could use instead of a function that I am using?
With regards,
Dempsey
Since recently I get this error which
I cannot solve properly. This error
creates itself after about 15 minutes
running. It would run atleast 24 hours
before:
PHP Notice: fwrite(): send of 16 bytes failed with errno=32 Broken pipe in /var/www/html/phpami/AMILoader.php on line 147
Net_AsteriskManagerException: Authorisation failed in /var/www/html/phpami/AMILoader.php on line 173

#2 /var/www/html/phpami/AMILoader.php(543): Net_AsteriskManager->ping()
#3 {main}
Can anyone help me with this too? The
authorisation data is correct (it is
using the same data in the whole
script and it does get a connection).
Also I don't get the response 'Action:
Ping???...' which it says is being
send by the script as command, but
where do the three questionmarks and
periods come from?
this framework should be handy:
https://github.com/marcelog/PAMI
otherwise you can check vTiger sources and how it handles ami integration:
http://www.vtiger.com/index.php?Itemid=57&id=30&option=com_content&task=view
If your using php, one of the easiest way to connect to the AMI is using the php-astmanager class. It supports callback on certain "events" so that you can catch the data you need. The best (only?) maintained copy is part of FreePBX and can be pulled right out of the latest version (2.9 as of this writing).
I would like to programatically (using php) fill out an existing drupal form to create a content type that is included in a contributed module.
Details: The module is SimpleFeed and the content type is Feed. I would like to call the module's functions to accomplish this. The method I am interested in is hook_insert which appears to require vid and nid which I am unsure what these are.
Any help is appreciated.
can you provide a bit more information (which modules?). generally, i'd probably suggest calling the modules functions to create the content type, instead of trying to pass it through a form programatically. this way you don't have to worry about implementation, and can trust that if the module works, it'll work for your script too :)
of course this does tie your module to theirs, so any changes in their functions could affect yours. (but then again, you run that risk if they update their database structure too)
ex.
// your file.php
function mymodule_do_stuff() {
cck_create_field('something'); // as an example, i doubt this
// is a real CCK function :)
}
edit: vid and nid are node ID's, vid is the revision id, and nid is the primary key of a particular node. because this is an actual node, you may have to do two operations.
programatically create a node
you'll have to reference the database for all the exact fields (tables node and node_revisions), but this should get you a basic working node:
$node = (object) array(
'nid' => '', // empty nid will force a new node to be created
'vid' => '',
'type' => 'simplefeed'. // or whatever this node is actually called
'title' => 'title of node',
'uid' => 1, // your user id
'status' => 1, // make it active
'body' => 'actual content',
'format' => 1,
// these next 3 fields are the simplefeed ones
'url' => 'simplefeed url',
'expires' => 'whatever value',
'refresh' => 'ditto',
);
node_save($node);
now i think it should automatically call simplefeed's hook_insert() at this point. if not, then go on to 2. but i'd check to see if it worked out already.
call it yourself!
simplefeed_insert($node);
edit2: drupal_execute() isn't a bad idea either, as you can get back some validation, but this way you don't have to deal with the forms API if you're not comfortable with it. i'm pretty sure node_save() invokes all hooks anyhow, so you should really only have to do step 1 under this method.
The drupal api provides drupal_execute() to do exactly this. I would suggest you avoid calling the functions directly to create the node (unless there is a performance reason). By using drupal_execute() all the proper hooks in other modules will be called and your code is far more likely to continue to work through future versions of drupal.
Note that a classic bug in using this method is not first calling something like
module_load_include('inc', 'node', 'node.pages')
which will load the code for your node creation form.
Calling node_save directly is generally considered deprecated and could leave you with broken code in future versions of drupal.
There is a nice example at this lullabot post
