XML-JSON content negotiation - php

Im looking to only display certain things from pages like this: http://sc2ranks.com/api/psearch/am/MxGPezz/1t/division/Felanis%20Sierra?appKey=sentinelgaming.net . So far I am able to display something but its not even the correct number, using the php below. Can someone show me how I would display the "achivement-points" of this player from this XML web page?
$url = 'http://sc2ranks.com/api/psearch/am/MxGPezz/1t/division/Felanis%20Sierra?appKey=sentinelgaming.net';
$xml = file_get_contents($url);
echo $xml->achievement-points;
Thanks

The content-type of this file varies depending on the Accept header or the format query parameter. It seems you can retrieve at least XML or JSON.
The default you get from file_get_contents() will be JSON because it does not include an Accept request header, but the default from a browser will be XML because browsers usually include an XML mime type in their Accept request header.
To get JSON:
$url = 'http://sc2ranks.com/api/psearch/am/MxGPezz/1t/division/Felanis%20Sierra?appKey=sentinelgaming.net';
// &format=json is not strictly necessary,
// but it will give you fewer surprises
$json = file_get_contents($url.'&format=json');
$records = json_decode($json);
echo $records[0]->achievement_points, "\n";
To get XML:
$sxe = simplexml_load_file($url.'&format=xml');
echo (string) $sxe->record->{'achievement-points'}, "\n";
To use the $sxe object see this SimpleXML cheat sheet.
Instead of using the format param you could set the Accept header. You can also add some abstraction to getting a url so that you can retrieve the content type and encoding as well. See example below.
function get_url($url, $context=null) {
$response = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
$ctypeheaders = preg_grep('/^Content-Type:\s/i', $http_response_header);
$ctype = NULL;
if ($ctypeheaders) {
$ctype = end($ctypeheaders);
$ctype = end(explode(':', $ctype, 2));
$ctype = explode(';', $ctype, 2);
$charset = isset($ctype[1]) ? $ctype[1] : '';
if ($charset && preg_match('/charset\s*=\s*([^\s]+)/i', $charset, $matches)) {
$charset = $matches[1];
}
$ctype[1] = $charset;
$ctype = array_map('trim', $ctype);
}
return array($response, $ctype);
}
You can then use get_url() like so:
// With no accept header, just see what we get:
list($content, $contenttype) = get_url($url);
list($type, $encoding) = $contenttype;
// $type will be 'application/xml' or 'application/json'
// $encoding is very handy to know too
// Or we can specify an accept header:
$opt_accept_xml = stream_context_create(array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Accept: application/xml\r\n"
)
));
list($content, $contenttype) = get_url($url, $opt_accept_xml);

Maybe:
echo $xml->record[0]->achievement-points;

Force download on GCS via App Engine using Signed URL

I get my file via:
require_once 'google/appengine/api/cloud_storage/CloudStorageTools.php';
use google\appengine\api\cloud_storage\CloudStorageTools;
$public_link = CloudStorageTools::getPublicUrl("gs://bucket/file.pdf", false);
If I go to $public_link in the browser, it shows the PDF inside the browser. I am trying to figure out how I can force the download of this file.
Google App Engine only has a 60 second timeout so I'm afraid the serve function wont work via GAE. Does anyone have any suggestions?
--
EDIT
Andrei Volga's previous answer in this post suggests I use a Signed URL with a response-content-distribution header.
So far, I am able to create a signed URL that successfully shows the file but I am not able to generate a signed url that has any sort of header at all aka create a signed URL that will force the download instead of just showing it.
This is what I have so far, most of which is courtesy of mloureiro.

For small files you can use serve option instead of public URL with save-as option set to true. See documentation.
For large files you can use a Signed URL with response-content-disposition parameter.
You can add and additional query string only.
https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/xml-api/reference-headers#responsecontentdisposition
response-content-disposition
A query string parameter that allows content-disposition to be overridden for authenticated GET requests.
Valid Values URL-encoded header to return instead of the content-disposition of the underlying object.
Example
?response-content-disposition=attachment%3B%20filename%3D%22foo%22

Response of REST API in JSON format

In magento as we use the rest url to access the data, as http://localhost/magento/api/rest/products it returns in xml format instead of that I need JSON.
I have tried below code, but no use
$this->getResponse()->setHeader('Content-type', 'application/json');
$this->getResponse()->setBody($jsonData);
in the folder \magento\app\code\core\Mage\Api\Controller\Action.php
vinox, you should override the default file Request.php. copy \app\code\core\Mage\Api2\Model\Request.php to your local directory and add the following code just before end of the getAcceptTypes() Method.
unset($orderedTypes);
$orderedTypes=Array("application/json" => 1);
in other way your getAcceptTypes() method should look like this.
public function getAcceptTypes(){
$qualityToTypes = array();
$orderedTypes = array();
foreach (preg_split('/,\s*/', $this->getHeader('Accept')) as $definition) {
$typeWithQ = explode(';', $definition);
$mimeType = trim(array_shift($typeWithQ));
// check MIME type validity
if (!preg_match('~^([0-9a-z*+\-]+)(?:/([0-9a-z*+\-\.]+))?$~i', $mimeType)) {
continue;
}
$quality = '1.0'; // default value for quality
if ($typeWithQ) {
$qAndValue = explode('=', $typeWithQ[0]);
if (2 == count($qAndValue)) {
$quality = $qAndValue[1];
}
}
$qualityToTypes[$quality][$mimeType] = true;
}
krsort($qualityToTypes);
foreach ($qualityToTypes as $typeList) {
$orderedTypes += $typeList;
}
unset($orderedTypes);
$orderedTypes=Array("application/json" => 1);
return array_keys($orderedTypes);
}
I guess your $jsonData is not actually JSON. Try using a json helper
$jsonData = Mage::helper('core')->jsonEncode($data)

PHP multipart form data PUT request?

I'm writing a RESTful API. I'm having trouble with uploading images using the different verbs.
Consider:
I have an object which can be created/modified/deleted/viewed via a post/put/delete/get request to a URL. The request is multi part form when there is a file to upload, or application/xml when there's just text to process.
To handle the image uploads which are associated with the object I am doing something like:
if(isset($_FILES['userfile'])) {
$data = $this->image_model->upload_image();
if($data['error']){
$this->response(array('error' => $error['error']));
}
$xml_data = (array)simplexml_load_string( urldecode($_POST['xml']) );
$object = (array)$xml_data['object'];
} else {
$object = $this->body('object');
}
The major problem here is when trying to handle a put request, obviously $_POST doesn't contain the put data (as far as I can tell!).
For reference this is how I'm building the requests:
curl -F userfile=#./image.png -F xml="<xml><object>stuff to edit</object></xml>"
http://example.com/object -X PUT
Does anyone have any ideas how I can access the xml variable in my PUT request?
First of all, $_FILES is not populated when handling PUT requests. It is only populated by PHP when handling POST requests.
You need to parse it manually. That goes for "regular" fields as well:
// Fetch content and determine boundary
$raw_data = file_get_contents('php://input');
$boundary = substr($raw_data, 0, strpos($raw_data, "\r\n"));
// Fetch each part
$parts = array_slice(explode($boundary, $raw_data), 1);
$data = array();
foreach ($parts as $part) {
// If this is the last part, break
if ($part == "--\r\n") break;
// Separate content from headers
$part = ltrim($part, "\r\n");
list($raw_headers, $body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $part, 2);
// Parse the headers list
$raw_headers = explode("\r\n", $raw_headers);
$headers = array();
foreach ($raw_headers as $header) {
list($name, $value) = explode(':', $header);
$headers[strtolower($name)] = ltrim($value, ' ');
}
// Parse the Content-Disposition to get the field name, etc.
if (isset($headers['content-disposition'])) {
$filename = null;
preg_match(
'/^(.+); *name="([^"]+)"(; *filename="([^"]+)")?/',
$headers['content-disposition'],
$matches
);
list(, $type, $name) = $matches;
isset($matches[4]) and $filename = $matches[4];
// handle your fields here
switch ($name) {
// this is a file upload
case 'userfile':
file_put_contents($filename, $body);
break;
// default for all other files is to populate $data
default:
$data[$name] = substr($body, 0, strlen($body) - 2);
break;
}
}
}
At each iteration, the $data array will be populated with your parameters, and the $headers array will be populated with the headers for each part (e.g.: Content-Type, etc.), and $filename will contain the original filename, if supplied in the request and is applicable to the field.
Take note the above will only work for multipart content types. Make sure to check the request Content-Type header before using the above to parse the body.
Please don't delete this again, it's helpful to a majority of people coming here! All previous answers were partial answers that don't cover the solution as a majority of people asking this question would want.
This takes what has been said above and additionally handles multiple file uploads and places them in $_FILES as someone would expect. To get this to work, you have to add 'Script PUT /put.php' to your Virtual Host for the project per Documentation. I also suspect I'll have to setup a cron to cleanup any '.tmp' files.
private function _parsePut( )
{
global $_PUT;
/* PUT data comes in on the stdin stream */
$putdata = fopen("php://input", "r");
/* Open a file for writing */
// $fp = fopen("myputfile.ext", "w");
$raw_data = '';
/* Read the data 1 KB at a time
and write to the file */
while ($chunk = fread($putdata, 1024))
$raw_data .= $chunk;
/* Close the streams */
fclose($putdata);
// Fetch content and determine boundary
$boundary = substr($raw_data, 0, strpos($raw_data, "\r\n"));
if(empty($boundary)){
parse_str($raw_data,$data);
$GLOBALS[ '_PUT' ] = $data;
return;
}
// Fetch each part
$parts = array_slice(explode($boundary, $raw_data), 1);
$data = array();
foreach ($parts as $part) {
// If this is the last part, break
if ($part == "--\r\n") break;
// Separate content from headers
$part = ltrim($part, "\r\n");
list($raw_headers, $body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $part, 2);
// Parse the headers list
$raw_headers = explode("\r\n", $raw_headers);
$headers = array();
foreach ($raw_headers as $header) {
list($name, $value) = explode(':', $header);
$headers[strtolower($name)] = ltrim($value, ' ');
}
// Parse the Content-Disposition to get the field name, etc.
if (isset($headers['content-disposition'])) {
$filename = null;
$tmp_name = null;
preg_match(
'/^(.+); *name="([^"]+)"(; *filename="([^"]+)")?/',
$headers['content-disposition'],
$matches
);
list(, $type, $name) = $matches;
//Parse File
if( isset($matches[4]) )
{
//if labeled the same as previous, skip
if( isset( $_FILES[ $matches[ 2 ] ] ) )
{
continue;
}
//get filename
$filename = $matches[4];
//get tmp name
$filename_parts = pathinfo( $filename );
$tmp_name = tempnam( ini_get('upload_tmp_dir'), $filename_parts['filename']);
//populate $_FILES with information, size may be off in multibyte situation
$_FILES[ $matches[ 2 ] ] = array(
'error'=>0,
'name'=>$filename,
'tmp_name'=>$tmp_name,
'size'=>strlen( $body ),
'type'=>$value
);
//place in temporary directory
file_put_contents($tmp_name, $body);
}
//Parse Field
else
{
$data[$name] = substr($body, 0, strlen($body) - 2);
}
}
}
$GLOBALS[ '_PUT' ] = $data;
return;
}

Quoting netcoder reply : "Take note the above will only work for multipart content types"
To work with any content type I have added the following lines to Mr. netcoder's solution :
// Fetch content and determine boundary
$raw_data = file_get_contents('php://input');
$boundary = substr($raw_data, 0, strpos($raw_data, "\r\n"));
/*...... My edit --------- */
if(empty($boundary)){
parse_str($raw_data,$data);
return $data;
}
/* ........... My edit ends ......... */
// Fetch each part
$parts = array_slice(explode($boundary, $raw_data), 1);
$data = array();

I've been trying to figure out how to work with this issue without having to break RESTful convention and boy howdie, what a rabbit hole, let me tell you.
I'm adding this anywhere I can find in the hope that it will help somebody out in the future.
I've just lost a day of development firstly figuring out that this was an issue, then figuring out where the issue lay.
As mentioned, this isn't a symfony (or laravel, or any other framework) issue, it's a limitation of PHP.
After trawling through a good few RFCs for php core, the core development team seem somewhat resistant to implementing anything to do with modernising the handling of HTTP requests. The issue was first reported in 2011, it doesn't look any closer to having a native solution.
That said, I managed to find this PECL extension called Always Populate Form Data. I'm not really very familiar with pecl, and couldn't seem to get it working using pear. but I'm using CentOS and Remi PHP which has a yum package.
I ran yum install php-pecl-apfd and it literally fixed the issue straight away (well I had to restart my docker containers but that was a given).
I believe there are other packages in various flavours of linux and I'm sure anybody with more knowledge of pear/pecl/general php extensions could get it running on windows or mac with no issue.
I know this article is old.
But unfortunately, PHP still does not pay attention to form-data other than the Post method.
Thanks to friends (#netcoder, #greendot, #pham-quang) who suggested solutions above.
Using those solutions I wrote a library for this purpose:
composer require alireaza/php-form-data
You can also use composer require alireaza/laravel-form-data in Laravel.

get a PUT request with Codeigniter

I have a problem right now with CodeIgniter : I use the REST Controller library (which is really awesome) to create an API but I can not get PUT requests...
This is my code :
function user_put() {
$user_id = $this->get("id");
echo $user_id;
$username = $this->put("username");
echo $username;
}
I use curl to make the request :
curl -i -X PUT -d "username=test" http://[...]/user/id/1
The user_id is full but the username variable is empty. Yet it works with the verbs POST and GET.
Have you any idea please?
Thank you !
According to: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/working-with-restful-services-in-codeigniter-2/ we should consult https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-restserver/blob/master/application/libraries/REST_Controller.php#L544 to see that this method:
/**
* Detect method
*
* Detect which method (POST, PUT, GET, DELETE) is being used
*
* #return string
*/
protected function _detect_method() {
$method = strtolower($this->input->server('REQUEST_METHOD'));
if ($this->config->item('enable_emulate_request')) {
if ($this->input->post('_method')) {
$method = strtolower($this->input->post('_method'));
} else if ($this->input->server('HTTP_X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE')) {
$method = strtolower($this->input->server('HTTP_X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE'));
}
}
if (in_array($method, array('get', 'delete', 'post', 'put'))) {
return $method;
}
return 'get';
}
looks to see if we've defined the HTTP header HTTP_X_HTTP_METHOD_OVERRIDE and it uses that in favor of the actual verb we've implemented on the web. To use this in a request you would specify the header X-HTTP-Method-Override: method (so X-HTTP-Method-Override: put) to generate a custom method override. Sometimes the framework expects X-HTTP-Method instead of X-HTTP-Method-Override so this varies by framework.
If you were doing such a request via jQuery, you would integrate this chunk into your ajax request:
beforeSend: function (XMLHttpRequest) {
//Specify the HTTP method DELETE to perform a delete operation.
XMLHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "DELETE");
}
You can try to detect the method type first and seperate the different cases. If your controller only handles REST functions it could be helpful to put get the required information in the constructor.
switch($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']){
case 'GET':
$var_array=$this->input->get();
...
break;
case 'POST':
$var_array=$this->input->post();
...
break;
case 'PUT':
case 'DELETE':
parse_str(file_get_contents("php://input"),$var_array);
...
break;
default:
echo "I don't know how to handle this request.";
}
In CodeIgniter 4 use getRawInput which will retrieve data and convert it to an array.
$data = $request->getRawInput();
look this issue in github
PUT parameters only work in JSON format
https://github.com/chriskacerguis/codeigniter-restserver/issues/362
Checkout this link in the official Code Igniter Docs Using the Input Stream for Custom Request Methods
This is the Code Igniter way to do it.
Just call the below if the body of the request is form-urlencoded
$var1 = $this->input->input_stream('var_key')
// Or
$var1 = $this->security->xss_clean($this->input->input_stream('var_key'));
Codeigniter put_stream has provided no help, instead I had to use php input stream as following method can be added to helpers, from there you can parse put request in any of the controllers:
function parsePutRequest()
{
// Fetch content and determine boundary
$raw_data = file_get_contents('php://input');
$boundary = substr($raw_data, 0, strpos($raw_data, "\r\n"));
// Fetch each part
$parts = array_slice(explode($boundary, $raw_data), 1);
$data = array();
foreach ($parts as $part) {
// If this is the last part, break
if ($part == "--\r\n") break;
// Separate content from headers
$part = ltrim($part, "\r\n");
list($raw_headers, $body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $part, 2);
// Parse the headers list
$raw_headers = explode("\r\n", $raw_headers);
$headers = array();
foreach ($raw_headers as $header) {
list($name, $value) = explode(':', $header);
$headers[strtolower($name)] = ltrim($value, ' ');
}
// Parse the Content-Disposition to get the field name, etc.
if (isset($headers['content-disposition'])) {
$filename = null;
preg_match(
'/^(.+); *name="([^"]+)"(; *filename="([^"]+)")?/',
$headers['content-disposition'],
$matches
);
list(, $type, $name) = $matches;
isset($matches[4]) and $filename = $matches[4];
// handle your fields here
switch ($name) {
// this is a file upload
case 'userfile':
file_put_contents($filename, $body);
break;
// default for all other files is to populate $data
default:
$data[$name] = substr($body, 0, strlen($body) - 2);
break;
}
}
}
return $data;
}
CodeIgniter doesn't support reading incoming PUT requests and if it's not essential I would stick to GET/POST for your API as its probably not necessary.
If you do need to read PUT requests take a look at Accessing Incoming PUT Data from PHP.

Download rapidshare file using rapidshare api in php

I am trying to download a rapidshare file using its "download" subroutine as a free user. The following is the code that I use to get response from the subroutine.
function rs_download($params)
{
$url = "http://api.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi?sub=download&fileid=".$params['fileid']."&filename=".$params['filename'];
$reply = #file_get_contents($url);
if(!$reply)
{
return false;
}
$result_arr = array();
$result_keys = array(0=> 'hostname', 1=>'dlauth', 2=>'countdown_time', 3=>'md5hex');
if( preg_match("/DL:(.*)/", $reply, $reply_matches) )
{
$reply_altered = $reply_matches[1];
}
else
{
return false;
}
foreach( explode(',', $reply_altered) as $index => $value )
{
$result_arr[ $result_keys[$index] ] = $value;
}
return $result_arr;
}
For instance; trying to download this...
http://rapidshare.com/files/440817141/AutoRun__live-down.com_Champ.rar
I pass the fileid(440817141) and filename(AutoRun__live-down.com_Champ.rar) to rs_download(...) and I get a response just as rapidshare's api doc says.
The rapidshare api doc (see "sub=download") says call the server hostname with the download authentication string but I couldn't figure out what form the url should take.
Any suggestions?, I tried
$download_url = "http://$the-hostname/$the-dlauth-string/files/$fileid/$filename"
and a couple other variations of the above, nothing worked.
I use curl to download the file, like the following;
$cr = curl_init();
$fp = fopen ("d:/downloaded_files/file1.rar", "w");
// set curl options
$curl_options = array(
CURLOPT_URL => $download_url
,CURLOPT_FILE => $fp
,CURLOPT_HEADER => false
,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 0
,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true

curl_setopt_array($cr, $curl_options);
curl_exec($cr);
curl_close($cr);
fclose($fp);
The above curl code doesn't seem to work, nothing gets downloaded. Probably its the download url that is incorrect.
Also tried this format for the download url:
"http://rs$serverid$shorthost.rapidshare.com/files/$fileid/$filename"
With this curl writes a file entry but that is all it does(writes a 0/1 kb file).
Here is the code that I use to get the serverid, shorthost, among a few other values from rapidshare.
function rs_checkfile($params)
{
$url = "http://api.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/rsapi.cgi?sub=checkfiles_v1&files=".$params['fileids']."&filenames=".$params['filenames'];
// the response from rapishare would a string something like:
// 440817141,AutoRun__live-down.com_Champ.rar,47768,20,1,l3,0
$reply = #file_get_contents($url);
if(!$reply)
{
return false;
}
$result_arr = array();
$result_keys = array(0=> 'file_id', 1=>'file_name', 2=>'file_size', 3=>'server_id', 4=>'file_status', 5=>'short_host'
, 6=>'md5');
foreach( explode(',', $reply) as $index => $value )
{
$result_arr[ $result_keys[$index] ] = $value;
}
return $result_arr;
}
rs_checkfile(...) takes comma seperated fileids and filenames(no commas if calling for a single file)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
You start by requesting ?sub=download&fileid=X&filename=Y, and it returns $hostname,$dlauth,$countdown,$md5hex.. since you're a free user you have to delay for $countdown seconds, and then call ?sub=download&fileid=X&filename=Y&dlauth=Z to perform the download.
There's a working implementation in python here that would probably answer any of your other questions.
