PHP - Zip, Bzip2 And Gzip Going Nuts

I am being sent an XML feed which needs to be downloaded in a 'compressed way'. The example I have been given is this:   $url = 'http://myurl.com';
$headers[] = "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
$data = curl_exec($ch);   but the output I am getting is jargon like this with loads of black diamond question marks:�   +T��sƒ���-}#v���]K���������HB�$&G�����Y�����'߷s�,�.4֫'?'���9;*9^��>�j~�ǫ}z|hq�J��Գ".o2)~b​���U~I|   How to a convert it back into XML? Many thanks

Thanks!

I have been coding in circles and I can't take it anymore!

This is my code:

$sqlid = "select * from temp where Email='".$a[8]."'";
$idresult = mysql_query($sqlid);
$res  =  mysql_fetch_assoc($idresult);
  if ($idresult > 0)
  {
   $tempid = $res['ID'];
   die('sql id:' . $tempid . 'or' . $res['ID']. 'or ' . $sqlid );
  }elseif (!$idresult) {
   die('there is no sql id');
  }

I am trying to populate the variable $tempid with the ID from the temp table.
I know i am not the best coder but I thought I was close.

I keep getting different errors.
Some errors simply print out the sql select statement to the screen
Other errors give me a resource #10.

Please help. I can't think straight anymore. Im sure it's something simple.

help!

I am using the Stripe API. Been at it for a day and still no luck. 

I keep getting this error.

POST http://localhost/pay 404 (Not Found)
Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position // this error is because of this line .then(handleServerResponse);

It has specifically to do with this function.

function handlePaymentMethodResult(result) {
  if (result.error) {
    // An error happened when collecting card details, show it in the payment form
    resultContainer.textContent = result.error.message;
  } else {
    // Otherwise send paymentMethod.id to your server (see Step 3)
    fetch('/pay', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      body: JSON.stringify({ payment_method_id: result.paymentMethod.id })
    }).then(function(result) {
      return result.json();
    }).then(handleServerResponse);
  }
}

What is "/pay" suppose to be exactly? I assumed it was a page where i run my server process code. But it keeps giving me that error no matter what I try it.

 

Here is my full mode.

Hi everyone. I'm completely new to PHP. I've been trying to teach myself to code with it and learn as much as I can for the past few days because it'll definitely come in handy. So far, everything I've learned is just from articles and videos.   Anyway, let's skip the boring stuff.   For literally the whole day today, I've been trying to figure out what the heck is wrong with a script I'm working with. I didn't code it myself. I'm pretty much just modifying it to fit my needs from the generic "template" it comes in.     So here's the issue:   The script is basically used to run a website with user generated content. Users can upload images and write about them. One file of the script deals with the page where the user writes and submits his/her content. Before, I had no issues. I could write a title, a few sentences, upload an image and submit it to the server. Now, seemingly out of nowhere, I'm getting problems everywhere.   Here are the issues:   1. After I fill out the form and hit submit, the page doesn't redirect to my content. 2. As soon as I hit the submit button, the page goes blank (white screen) and gets stuck on mydomain.com/submit (which is the same page where I filled out the form) 3. Along with the white screen, I'm getting the following error on top of it:   Notice: Undefined index: name in .../public_html/include/p-page-ask.php on line 126       I've spent the last 12 hours trying to fix this. For issue 3, I've read that you can use the "isset" function to fix it. But I have no idea how to code that into it. I tried different variations, but none worked to make it go away. For issue 2, I'm guessing this is a fatal php error? I have no idea what's causing it. If I view source, I just get a blank page. For issue 1, I'm guessing this has to do with issue 2 halting the page from redirecting? I'm pretty sure 2 and 3 are different errors because I've read that even if 3 occurs, the page still loads.     I've turned on all the error reporting and display functions in my php.ini file. I made sure that the server is using that particular file with phpinfo(). (Although I didn't restart my server. I have no idea how to. I'm on a shared environment). After making these changes, I still don't see any additional errors, just the notice on a blank page.   I've looked through the code for syntax errors, but couldn't find any.   I've even installed xampp and made a test environment. I read through the documentation and watched tutorials on YouTube to set it up. (I've had absolutely 0 experience with this kind of stuff). I downloaded all the exact files from my online server into my localhost environment. Funny enough, it works just fine on my machine. It doesn't even throw errors locally. However, it doesn't work online. What the heck is going on?   The only differences I can think of between the two environments are the php versions and sql database versions (xampp is newer)...but I don't know if that really makes a difference because the script USED to work on my server, so it must be compatible with the set versions.   I've been editing the files in the script for quite a while now. I know when I first started, the uploads would work just fine. Then I didn't upload for a while because I already tested it out and knew it worked, so I just continued working on the script. I may have modified something that's now causing the errors. But then wouldn't that cause the localhost environment to fail too? If the files are exactly the same, how could one fail to work? That makes no sense at all. I'm looking at this code lost and hopeless. I'm getting sad.       If ANYONE has any suggestions on fixing this, PLEASE let me know. I don't know what to do anymore.   If you need me to upload any of the other files, just ask.     Here are the error logs from the server:   PHP Notice: Undefined index: name in .../public_html/include/p-page-ask.php on line 126, referer:mydomain.com/submit  ...public_html/submit: No such file or directory

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to select either a class or an id using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser with absolutely no luck.  My example is very simple and seems to comply to the examples given in the manual(http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/manual.htm) but it just wont work, it's driving me up the wall.

Here is my example: http://schulnetz.nibis.de/db/schulen/schule.php?schulnr=94468&lschb=

I think the HTML is invalid: i cannot parse it.

Well i need more examples - probly i have overseen something!

If anybody has a working example of Simple-html-dom-parser...i would be happy.
The examples on the developersite are not very helpful.
