I have the following simple code:
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('name' => 'michael'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
When I tried this on a different windows 7 xampp computer, it sends as POST just fine. But then I went to another windows 7 xampp computer and it sends it as GET. Same exact code on the API and the post. I check the method on the API and it says its coming in as GET, but it's fine on the other computer. Both are running windows 7 and xamp. Cannot figure what is going on. I tried with out any POSTFIELDS too and with a normal string, didn't help. Thanks

Needing information about the goDaddy server error, I used CURL with the following commands in PHP.
I already tested it on another hosting server and it returned me successfully.
I'm using an API for sending messages in whatsapp, everything works: locally and on another server, except on goDaddy.
$endpoint = "https://site...";
$curl = curl_init($endpoint);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER , true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dados);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, true);
$executa_api= curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$retorno= json_decode($executa_api);
do I need to authenticate something to use third-party API in godaddy?
My phpinfo():
I want to make a PHP POST request from my new VPS server to another IP address. I checked the firewall and everything seemed fine but the request never went to the other IP, so I then tried making the same request with node.js and it went through. The question is, what PHP module/extension do I need to enable to allow php requests with or without curl.
A simple CURL request:
$ch = curl_init();
$url='http://example.com/';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
I'm running a curl request from a php script, very straight forward
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://url-here');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postvars);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
This works fine over http but as soon as i use https code execution doesn't pass the curl_exec command and i can't see what the error is. The client side i just receive a 'Connection Reset'.
It's worth noting it does the same thing if i use https://google.com.
Also worth noting that running this from the command like works fine so seems to be an issue running from a php script.
I've added the usual CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false and still no joy.
The same code does however work from my local machine so seems to be isolated to the server.
It's an amazon ec2 instance if that makes any difference.
Welcome any ideas.
Many thanks
Figured this out, curl wasn't compiled with SSL. Did this and all began to work.
I have one plugin which you install on wp site and then need to connect it with my production site. For this connection I use CURL request.
I have problem with one wordpress site installed on wpengine. It worked fine for a long time and then suddenly CURL is unable to connect with my production site from this wp site on wpengine.
In curl_error($ch) I am getting "Couldn't connect to host", and I have this problem only with this one site which is one wpengine.
This is my CURL code for connection
$vars = json_encode (
array(
//some params
)
);
$headers = array(
'Accept: application/json',
'Content-Type: application/json',
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://myproduction.com/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
return json_decode($result);
This prolem was happening some time and then suddenly It start to work fine with myproduction site again and all works fine, but now I cannot to connect it with my copy of production site which is on another server ('https://myproductioncopy.com/'). The same error is for copy of production and it's only problem with this site on wp engine.
Have anyone idea what could be a reason of this, or how to find issue or to fix, anything, because I am without any idea.
cURL + proxy noob here, having a hard time. I'm having trouble trying to retrieve a web page from a remote secure server via a proxy. Everything has apparently been set up correctly by a remote dev, such that the following command line instruction works and returns what we're looking for:
curl -k --socks5-hostname localhost:xxxx https://hostname/
However, the following PHP does not echo the requested webpage. Instead it echoes the error 'Couldn't resolve host name':
$proxy = 'localhost:xxxx';
$url = 'https://hostname/';
//$proxyauth = 'user:password';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxyauth);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$curl_scraped_page = curl_exec($ch);
$error = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($error)
echo $error;
elseif ($curl_scraped_page)
echo $curl_scraped_page;
If the $url is changed to a public page, such as Google, the request is successful and everyone is happy.
The connection requires an SSH tunnel if that changes anything at all. The tunnel is open and functioning, as proven by the command line request succeeding.
Is there something obvious that is being missed here?
You need to set option CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE to CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME, which sadly wasn't defined in old PHP versions, circa pre-5.6; if you have earlier in but you can explicitly use its value, which is equal to 7:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 7);
In the option CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE you need to set CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME option instead of CURLPROXY_SOCKS5.
In this case, the DNS query (for hostname resolving) will be sent to SOCKS proxy and not resolved in the local network.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME);
This constant available since PHP 5.5.23 and PHP 5.6.7 and cURL 7.18.0, so you can simply use it.
