When I use this code:
$ch = curl_init($url);
$statuses = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
I am returned what I want, but if I just use that - $statuses is echoed out onto the page.
How can I stop this?
Put this on line 2:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
Include this option before curl_exec()
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
In addition to the accepted answer, make sure you didn't set CURLOPT_VERBOSE to true, if you add this
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true );
there will be output from cUrl, even with CURL_RETURNTRANSFER set to true

Description
I'm trying to make a request to an API via PHP cURL
$access_token = $tokens['access_token'];
$headers = array(
"Authorization: Bearer " . $access_token
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,env('USER_INFO'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, 1000);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING , "gzip");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
$userInfo = curl_exec($ch);
$userInfo = json_decode($userInfo, true);
dd($userInfo);
I kept getting this back
{"sub":"acr:123;type=STAT","updated_at":1509463516,"name":"User","email":"user#email.com"}
1
Try #2
If I do
$userInfo = json_encode($userInfo, true);
I got
{"sub":"acr:123;type=STAT","updated_at":1509463516,"name":"User","email":"user#email.com"}
"true"
How do I get rid of the 1 or true below it, and only get the JSON data?
Is there another param for json_decode() that I need to pass in?
Set the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER curl option. curl_exec is just returning true without that, (it echoes the response and returns true; see curl_exec return values) and json_decode(true) is true.
How would one go about and debug this further?
A couple of things to experiment with:
Remove $userInfo = json_decode($userInfo, true); and
dd($userInfo);. Without the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option set, you should still see the non-decoded JSON, but not the true or 1.
Add another dd($userInfo); before the json_decode. You'll see what curl_exec actually returned, which may help you eliminate json_decode as a possible cause for this odd looking behavior.
The following line should solve your problem with the response.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
I am working on two system.In which asterisk runs on one system-1.I want to run command in asterisk and get result back in system-2.I make curl request like below.How to get value back on system2?enter code here
exec('asterisk -rx "sip show peers"',$sip);
$POST_DATA = array(
'filename'=>$sip,
);
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL,'http://192.168.50.138/test.php');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $POST_DATA);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close ($curl);
?>
Since you already have
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
in your code. curl_exec should already returns the content of the page instead of a BOOL.
This is a snippet of a library I use. As pointed out this might not be needed but it helped me out once...
//The content - if true, will not download the contents
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, false);
Also it seems to have some bugs related to CURLOPT_NOBODY (which might explain why you have this issue):

I'm having dificulties to query a webform using CURL with a PHP script. I suspect, that I'm sending something that the webserver does not like. In order to see what CURL realy sends I'd like to see the whole message that goes to the webserver.
How can I set-up CURL to give me the full output?
I did
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
but that onyl gives me a part of the header. The message content is not shown.
Thanks for all the answers! After all, they tell that It's not possible. I went down the road and got familiar with Wireshark. Not an easy task but definitely worth the effort.
Have you tried CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT?
Quoting the PHP manual for curl_getinfo:
CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT - The request string sent. For this to work, add
the CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT option to the handle by calling curl_setopt()
If you are wanting the content can't you just log it? I am doing something similar for my API calls
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, self::$apiURL);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($dataArray));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $dataString);
$logger->info("Sending " . $dataString);
self::$results = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$decoded = json_decode(self::$results);
$logger->debug("Received " . serialize($decoded));
Or try
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_STDERR, $fp);
I would recommend using curl_getinfo.
<?php
curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
if ( !empty($info) && is_array($info) {
print_r( $info );
} else {
throw new Exception('Curl Info is empty or not an array');
};
?>
I can call a soap server using java like this
Call call = new Call();
URL url = new URL("http://soap-something.dash.com/servlet/rpcrouter");
call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:login-transport");
call.setMethodName("confirmPassword");
call.setParams(a vector);
resp = call.invoke(url, "");
But my question is how can I call this same function using curl and php, I have already tried this, but it may be some kind of funny code
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://soap-something.dash.com/servlet/rpcrouter?urn:login-transport");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, "confirmPassword");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array("username"=>"pritom", "password"=>"pritom"));
$head = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($ch);
echo "<br/>HTTP CODE: " . $httpCode;
print_r($head);
But it echo http code 100 and I do not found any result from soap server. But my soap server is ok, tested by java.
Looks fine to me, except CURLOPT_HEADER needs to be either true or false (include HTTP header in output or not),
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, "confirmPassword");
should be
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
I can only guess what confirmPassword is, if it's a callback, you should use CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION instead.
But as Ariel pointed out, you're not telling us what the problem is.
Try removing this line:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, false); // remove body
Then post what the output is.
I'm doing curl post but the problem is that I need to return empty results so I can echo out another value for my ajax request results:
below is the code:
$ch = curl_init("http://www.rankreport.com.au/ajax/add_new_lead");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "lead_company_id=1&lead_business=1234&lead_first_name=asdf&lead_website=12314.com&lead_phone=1234&lead_email=test#test.com&lead_package=seo");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo 'error 3';
When I do this, I'm getting below results:
{"lead_date":1315637343,"lead_company_id":"1","lead_business":"1234","lead_first_name":"asdf","lead_last_name":"","lead_website":"12314.com","lead_phone":"1234","lead_email":"test#test.com","lead_package":"seo"} 3
How do set curl options so that it doesn't return any curl results?
Set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
Use CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER = true to have the returned content as a return value ($ch) instead of output.
