Re: [PHP] cURL functions
I did look at your post on PATH_INFO which did not get me any closer to
the solution. At this point, I am just trying to get an image using
cURL and then force it to download to the computer. Here is the link:
http://205.207.224.90/getimage.php
and here is the code:
header(Content-type: image/jpg);
Header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
file=tigershippingdashboard20050429.jpg');
$ch = curl_init(); // create cURL handle (ch)
if (!$ch) {
die(Couldn't initialize a cURL handle);
}
// set some cURL options
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
http://images.apple.com/home/2005/images/
tigershippingdashboard20050429.jpg);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
// execute
$ret = curl_exec($ch);
if (empty($ret)) {
// some kind of an error happened
die(curl_error($ch));
curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler
}
else {
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler
if (empty($info['http_code'])) {
die(No HTTP code was returned);
}
else {
// load the HTTP codes
// echo results
echo The server responded: br /;
print pre;
print_r($info);
print /pre;
}
}
I have tried changing the values of the curl options to no avail. What
ends up happening is the the PHP file is what gets downloaded with all
the binary data for the image in it. I need to find a way of getting
just the image to download.
In this example, I just want the image
tigershippingdashboard20050429.jpg to download.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Chris
If you want to support older browsers, on more platforms, you would do
well to look at another thread from yesterday where I talk about about
PATH_INFO.

Did you try this Jason? When I try it, it just downloads the
getimage.php file with the binary content of the image in the file.

If by 'getimage.php' you mean the above, and you're getting the contents of the above (ie the raw PHP code) AND the binary content of the image then your webserver is seriously out of whack. If you mean that the browser downloads the image binary data correctly BUT saves it in a file called 'getimage.php' then that is most likely a problem with your browser. Double check that you have Content-Disposition header correctly formatted, look at the user notes in the online manual for the header() function for loads of examples and suggestions. Also check the archives for Richard Lynch's posts where he rants (quite rightly) about IE's poor handling of forcing a download to be saved to file and ways to circumvent it. -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- New Year Resolution: Ignore top posted posts -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Content-Disposition only works on some browsers.
The ONLY way to get EVERY browser to behave is to make your URL end in
tigershippingdashboard20050429.jpg -- and ideally to not have any other
extension (.php or .htm or .html or .shtml or ...) in the URL and also, if
you want it to work for various other multi-media (PDF, SWF, etc) you
might as well set up to use $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] instead of $_GET
Whew. That was my rant boiled down to one run-on sentence. :-)
HOW to do all that is in the archives with my name and PATH_INFO on it
most recently, though I really just stole all the bits and pieces from
everybody else.

[PHP] cURL functions
Hi,
I am connecting to a remote image download API using cURL functions. I
have the connection working fine and am getting the response from the
API. The problem is that the resulting image is being displayed as
binary characters in the browser instead of downloading to my computer.
Here is the code:
$ch = curl_init(); // create cURL handle (ch)
if (!$ch) {
die(Couldn't initialize a cURL handle);
}
// set some cURL options
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, path/to/api/with/vars/appended);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0);
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
// execute
$ret = curl_exec($ch);
and here are the results from curl_getinfo:
Array
(
[url] = path/to/api/with/vars/appended
[http_code] = 200
[header_size] = 312
[request_size] = 242
[filetime] = -1
[ssl_verify_result] = 0
[total_time] = 0.298
[namelookup_time] = 0.013
[connect_time] = 0.013
[pretransfer_time] = 0.013
[size_upload] = 0
[size_download] = 750690
[speed_download] = 2519093.9597315
[speed_upload] = 0
[download_content_length] = 750690
[upload_content_length] = 0
)
Does anyone know how I can take the binary result and force it to
download as a JPG image?
Thanks.
Chris

At a minimum, for current browsers, you need: header(Content-type: image/jpeg); before you send the JPEG out. Actually, before you send *ANYTHING* out, but you'd break the JPEG sending anything else out before that anyway.

[PHP] curl functions problems
Hi, I have problem when using curl function to redirect to page. I use it when I need to check for valid informations on the and because there are passwords, I don't want to send it via GET in url. So I use curl to redirect to the originating page. The script's name is saveplacer.php. I use this code: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"$HTTP_REFERER"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $poststring = "placerid=$placerid" .. "" . "pwd=$pwd" ); curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); Redirecting works, desired page shows up, but in browser's urlbar I get http://mydomain/mysite/saveplacer.php and not http://mydomain/mysite/add1.php as expected. I have checked the script for empty spaces, headers, but nothing there. It shows the add1.php script and url is different. Has anyone experienced this? I use Apache 1.3.17/PHP 4.0.4Pl1 on Windoze 2000 Pro. Even I don't think it's anything to do with the problem. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
