I am hoping someone can spot what is missing here. I am getting null
result
from curl-ing a page with json post variables.
I try this url in my Firefox browser -
http://www.targetsite.com/search.php#somevar.someothervar
(#somevar.someothervar are irrelevant, I think, as I get the curl
variables
from Firebug below.)
In Firebug, this shows:
POST http://www.targetsite.com/ajax/search.xml
In Firebug, below this link are tabs for: Headers, Post, Response,
XML and
Cookies. Post tab shows like:
JSON
VAR1 1
VAR2 2012-09-12
VAR3 null
CACHED []
OPTIONSnull
To prove there is output, the Firebug Response tab shows:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
JSON various JSON encoded stuff /JSON
The above is what I am trying to curl.
My php code:
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//target page from Firebug above:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
http://www.targetsite.com/ajax/search.xml;);
//I was not sure how to represent CACHED [], so set it to null
try CACHED=array()
$data = array(
VAR1 = 1,
VAR2 = 2012-09-12,
VAR3 = null,
CACHED=null,
OPTIONS=null,
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
//make the request
$result = curl_exec($ch);
//this returns null
Any ideas where to go with this? Maybe I need to include the
Cookies? I use
the above php and curl functions normally so it's all installed on the
server.

It might be that the site is using sessions/cookies. Have a look at
the header data with firebug.
Not sure if that's the problem, to find out what's really going on, call
echo curl_error($ch);
after curl_exec to find out what went wrong exactly.
If you still don't know how to proceed, paste the result of the
curl_error call in your reply.

I added the cookies to the post array. I changed php array to
CACHED=array() for the JSON CACHED:[], and corrected php's null to
NULL. It is not returning any error. The browser was showing 'resource
not present' before I added the cookies to the post array, now it just
returns null $result. Looks like I am transcribing something incorrectly.
John
I eventually sorted this out. Solution involved:
POST params needed to be json_encoded
$params=json_encode(array(
name = value
));
Thanks to
http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2011/posting-json-data-with-php-curl
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, POST);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
Also, included headers as array and set application type as json:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($post))
);
Set encoding to auto-detect:
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, );

Then get a new host. A host that disables PDO these days is a host that
deserves to go bankrupt. ext/mysql has been dead for years now.

Nope. No PDO as yet either

So with the announced end of the mysql functions (and switching to a
different extension), one would think that my isp/hoster would be a bit more
interested in my dilemma. I tried today to create my first mysqli-based
test script and found that I didn't have that extension. A series of emails
with my tech support told me that the shared server farm does not get
mysqli - only their business servers. Since I dont' have a need for and
want to pay more for a 'business server', I'm told I'm s... outta luck.
What about PDO? Is that available?
