SHOUTcast XML get with php - php

Question

I have shoutcast administrator and i need to read xml from that it looks like this
http://SHOUTCAST-IP:PORT/admin.cgi
And i need to login and get the XML Data from http://SHOUTCAST-IP:PORT/admin.cgi?mode=viewxml and do it with php, i have made this script
$fp = fsockopen($server, $port, $errno, $errstr, 30);
fputs($fp, "GET /admin.cgi?pass=".$password."&mode=viewxml HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)\r\n\r\n"); //
while (!feof($fp)) {
$content = fgets($fp);
}
But it doesn't work, it says Unauthorised. How can i fix it ?

Answer 1

Are you sure you can use standard $_GET variables to provide username and password there? Seems quite bad practice!?
I would use cURL to achieve this, it's quick and easy!
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://SHOUTCAST-IP:PORT/admin.cgi");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "user:pwd");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH, 1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

What about this?
//*********** YOUR FM ***********//
// Begin Configuration
$scdef = "YOUR FM";
// ABOVE: Default station name to display when server or stream is down
$scip = "127.0.0.1"; // ip or url of shoutcast server (DO NOT ADD HTTP:// don't include the port)
$scport = "5977"; // port of shoutcast server
$scpass = "mysecretpassword"; // password to shoutcast server
// End Configuration
//*********** YOUR FM ***********//
$scfp = fsockopen("$scip", $scport, &$errno, &$errstr, 30);
if(!$scfp) {
$scsuccs=1;
echo''.$scdef.' is Offline';
}
if($scsuccs!=1){
fputs($scfp,"GET /admin.cgi?pass=$scpass&mode=viewxml HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: SHOUTcast Song Status (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n");
while(!feof($scfp)) {
$page .= fgets($scfp, 1000);
}
