I'm trying to send an XML using curl but not as post parameter. what I mean is this.
for example.
the receiving side of that XML won't be able to recieve the XML using $_POST variable.
he will need to use the following code:
$xmlStr=null;
$file=fopen('php://input','r');
$xmlStr=fgets($file);
I want to be able to send an xml string using curl via https.
so the following would be wrong:
public static function HttpsNoVerify($url,$postFields=null,$verbose=false) {
// Initialize session and set URL.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// Set so curl_exec returns the result instead of outputting it.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
if ($postFields !=null) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields);
}
if ($verbose) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
}
// Get the response and close the channel.
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $response;
}
because here i can use HttpsNoVerify($url,array('xml_file'=>'xml..')); and that
will paste it as post parameter. and i want it as post output.
so please I hope i explained myself properly and I explained exactly what I don't want to do.
how can I do what i want to do?
thanks! :)

Just directly pass the xml string as second parameter instead of an associative array item,
HttpsNoVerify($url, 'xml ..');
This will eventually call
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "xml ...");
Which will be put in php://input for the remote server.

cannot able to post value using this method in php.i want post value to one page to another page.it gives empty results.
header("location:http://webpage.com/retry.php?amount=".$amount);
You cannot simply POST a data to another PHP file from a PHP file using header(). You need to use a function/API called the cURL
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.example.com/tester.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
"postvar1=value1&postvar2=value2&postvar3=value3");
// in real life you should use something like:
// curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
// http_build_query(array('postvar1' => 'value1')));
// receive server response ...
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
// further processing ....
if ($server_output == "OK") { ... } else { ... }
?>
If you cannot write this big code each time and debug the errors, I recommened you using UniREST client for this work. It's simple, straightforward, light and does the work for us.
Download UniREST from here
Try This
if(trim($amount)!=''){ // Check if amount is not empty.
// Redirect to page
header("location:http://webpage.com/retry.php?amount=".$amount);
}
I wanted to try to get data from a JSON string which is loaded from another page. I currently have used Curl to get the data from the webpage but I can't acces the data in it.
I've already tried:
var_dump(json_decode($result->version, true));
var_dump(json_decode($result[3][0]["date"], true));
But this does't seem to work as it always returns NULL
$url="https://roosters.deltion.nl/api/roster?group=AO2B&start=20160125&end=20160201";
// Initiate curl
$ch = curl_init();
// Disable SSL verification
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
// Will return the response, if false it print the response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Set the url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
// Execute
$result=curl_exec($ch);
// Closing
curl_close($ch);
// Will dump a beauty json :3
var_dump(json_decode($result, true));
First decode the JSON, then get the properties you want. Like this:
$yourObject = json_decode($result);
var_dump($youObject->version);
this is working for me.
<?php
$url = "https://roosters.deltion.nl/api/roster?group=AO2B&start=20160125&end=20160201";
// Initiate curl
$ch = curl_init();
// Disable SSL verification
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
// Will return the response, if false it print the response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Set the url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// Execute
$result = curl_exec($ch);
// Closing
curl_close($ch);
// Will dump a beauty json :3
$data = json_decode($result);
//echo $data->data[0]['date'];
echo "<pre>";
print_r($data->data[0]->date);
}
?>
if you want to get date of all index then try this in loop.
Firstly if your using GET there is no need to use CURL,
$result = file_get_contents(https://roosters.deltion.nl/api/roster?group=AO2B&start=20160125&end=20160201);
Will work just as well without any of the overhead. I suspect that your CURL isn't returning the page content so using file_get_contents() will fix it.
Hi I'm a little new at CURL, but I'm trying to request some json data and then parse the results. I am having success with retrieving the data, but I can't handle the response. Here's the code
function bitBucketCurl($url)
{
global $bitPassword;
global $bitUsername;
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$bitUsername:$bitPassword");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
$commitinfo = curl_exec($ch);
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
return $commitinfo;
}
$json = bitBucketCurl($url);
echo $json; // This seems to work in that, when I load the page, I can see the json data
//turn json data into an array - this is what does not seem to be working
$obj_a = json_decode($json, true);
print_r ($obj_a); //the result is simply a 1 rather than the array I would expect
The basic problem is the json data shows up when I echo $json but when I try to turn that data into an array it doesn't work. When I print the array, I just get a '1'.
I got the required result by adding the following line:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
In PHP, how can I pass an Object (actually an Array) from one Site to another Site (by not losing its original Object Structure and Values)?
How to PASS/SEND from the host site
NOT to pull from the destination site
I want to pass directly from the automated script by NOT using HTML and web forms.
Any suggestion, please.
The best way to do that is to use json_encode():
file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/script.php?data='.json_encode($object));
on the other side:
$content = json_decode($_GET['data']);
or send it using cURL
$url = 'http://www.example.com/script.php';
$post = 'data='.json_encode($object);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
curl_exec($ch);
on the other side:
$content = json_decode($_POST['data']);
You can convert it to JSON and then convert it back to the PHP object. This is very easy when it is an array. You can just use json_encode($array) and json_decode($json)on the other site. I would send the data via POST because the limit length of GET: Is there a limit to the length of a GET request?
I need to put a string of data like so: '< client>...<\client>' onto an XMl server (example url:'http://example.appspot.com/examples') using PHP.
(Context: Adding a new client's details to the server).
I have tried using CURLOPT_PUT, with a file and with just a string (since it requires CURLOPT_INFILESIZE and CURLOPT_INFILE) but it does not work!
Are there any other PHP functions that could be used to do such a thing? I have been looking around but PUT requests information is sparse.
Thanks.
// Start curl
$ch = curl_init();
// URL for curl
$url = "http://example.appspot.com/examples";
// Put string into a temporary file
$putString = '<client>the RAW data string I want to send</client>';
/** use a max of 256KB of RAM before going to disk */
$putData = fopen('php://temp/maxmemory:256000', 'w');
if (!$putData) {
die('could not open temp memory data');
}
fwrite($putData, $putString);
fseek($putData, 0);
// Headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Binary transfer i.e. --data-BINARY
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// Using a PUT method i.e. -XPUT
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, true);
// Instead of POST fields use these settings
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $putData);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($putString));
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
// Close the file
fclose($putData);
// Stop curl
curl_close($ch);
since I haven't worked with cURL so far I can't really answer to that topic. If you'd like to use cURL I'd suggest looking at the server log and see what actually didn't work (so: Was the output of the request really what it's supposed to be?)
If you don't mind switching over to another technology/library I'd suggest you to use the Zend HTTP Client which is really straight forward to use, simple to include and should satisfy all your needs. Especially as performing a PUT Request is as simple as that:
<?php
// of course, perform require('Zend/...') and
// $client = new Zend_HTTP_Client() stuff before
// ...
[...]
$xml = '<yourxmlstuffhere>.....</...>';
$client->setRawData($xml)->setEncType('text/xml')->request('PUT');
?>
Code sample is from: Zend Framework Docs # RAW-Data Requests
Another way to add string body to the PUT request with CURL in PHP is:
<?php
$data = 'My string';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT'); // Define method type
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); // Set data to the body request
?>
I hope this helps!
