Drupal 7 - Update a user with services using PHP Curl - php

Question

I'm using Drupal 7 and the services module and I'm trying to update a user profile using PHP & Curl.
Do I always have to login before sending a "PUT/update" ?
This is my code so far :
<?php
// REST Server URL
$request_url = 'http://mywebsite/end/user/login';
// User data
$user_data = array(
'username' => 'user2',
'password' => 'pass1',
);
// cURL
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // Do a regular HTTP POST
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($user_data)); // Set POST data
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
print $response;
$http_code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
// Check if login was successful
if ($http_code == 200) {
// Convert json response as array
$logged_user = json_decode($response);
}
else {
// Get error msg
$http_message = curl_error($curl);
die($http_message);
}
print_r($logged_user);
// REST Server URL
$request_url = 'http://mywebsite.com/end/user/8&XDEBUG_SESSION_START=netbeans-xdebug';
$user_data = array('current_pass' => 'pass1', 'pass' => 'pass2');
// Define cookie session
$cookie_session = $logged_user->session_name . '=' . $logged_user->sessid;
// cURL
$curl = curl_init($request_url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/json',
'Content-type: application/json')); // Accept JSON response
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PUT, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE); // FALSE); // Ask to not return Header
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "$cookie_session"); // use the previously saved session
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, TRUE);
// Emulate file.
$serialize_args = json_encode($user_data);
$putData = fopen('php://temp', 'rw+');
fwrite($putData, $serialize_args);
fseek($putData, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILE, $putData);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, drupal_strlen($serialize_args));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$http_code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
// Check if login was successful
$ret;
if ($http_code == 200) {
// Convert json response as array
$ret = json_decode($response);
}
else {
// Get error msg
$http_message = curl_error($curl);
die($http_message);
}
print_r($ret);
curl_close($curl);
}
?>
What am I missing here?
Nothing happens to my profile.
Any answer is welcomed!

Hope this can help u.
$service_url = 'http://mywebsite/end/user/login'; // .xml asks for xml data in response
$post_data = array(
'username' => 'user2',
'password' => 'pass1',
);
$post_data = http_build_query($post_data, '', '&'); // Format post data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded
// set up the request
$curl = curl_init($service_url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // have curl_exec return a string
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); // do a POST
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); // POST this data
// make the request
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); // output to command line
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
// parse the response
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response);
$session_cookie = $xml->session_name .'='. $xml->sessid;
if(empty($xml->session_name) && empty($xml->sessid)){
echo 'Wrong';exit;
}
$service_url = 'http://mywebsite/end/user/token'; // .xml asks for xml data in response
$curl = curl_init($service_url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); // do a POST
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); // POST this data
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // have curl_exec return a string
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "$session_cookie"); // use the previously saved session
// make the request
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); // output to command line
$csrf_token = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($csrf_token);
$csrf_token = $xml->token;
$csrf_header = 'X-CSRF-Token: ' . $csrf_token;
// REST Server URL

// Emulate file.
$serialize_args = json_encode($user_data);
$putData = fopen('php://temp', 'rw+');
fwrite($putData, $serialize_args);
fseek($putData, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILE, $putData);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($serialize_args));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

You can achieve this by using "CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR" for writing and preserving cookies but you also need to set "CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE" for reading. More info can be found at http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php
define('COOKIE_FILE', "/tmp/sess" . time() . $user_data['username']);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, COOKIE_FILE);
curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, COOKIE_FILE);
