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 []
OPTIONS null
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.

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?

And I didn't see the follow-up messages saying that they do support PDO
after all. Crisis averted! :-)
I have actually found very few hosts that run ext/mysqli. Everyone I
know jumped from ext/mysql to PDO. I've never actually run mysqli
myself; at this point everything I do is PDO.

Hi
Has anyone been able to pass custom message structures using SoapFault?.
I've tried passing the XML message in the detail parameter but it ends up
encoded in the SOAP message.
Any ideas?

Hello everyone,
I have a very long array. I want to pull all the data from the array
from a certain position to a certain position.
$myarray = array('0'=>'me', '1'=>'you','2'=>'her','3'=>'him','4'=>'them',
'5'=>'us');
Yes I know the array above it small it's an example, mine has over 150
positions.
$foundyou = array_search('you', $myarray);
$foundthem = array_search('them', $myarray);
Now I want to take all the array positions from $foundyou to $foundthem and
put their values into a variable;
For the life of me I can't remember how I did it.
I DO NOT want to foreach over the array positions that would be
counterproductive.
