PHP - Webservice Response In Xml
Hello,
I'm trying to get webservice response in xml format. I'm getting the response but it's not in xml. It's just text. Can someone please look at the code ? <?php $targeturl="https://api.com"; $DevKey= "xxxxx"; // return xml feed $ch = curl_init($targeturl); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, FAlSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization: '.$DevKey)); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); $response = curl_exec($ch); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response); curl_close($ch); echo $response; // will print in browser all country codes in an xml format /* ADD YOUR OWN CODE HERE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT WITH THE RESPONSE. MAYBE SAVE RESULTS TO A FILE OR THE PARSE THE RESULTS INTO A DATABASE? */ ?> Similar TutorialsA HTTP request is made to the server, Slim creates a Request and Response object, content in the Request is sent to another server using cURL via Guzzle, Guzzle returns its own Response, and content from Guzzle's response must be returned by the original Slim response. Would you recommend white-listing or black-listing response headers, and which specific headers? Similarly, would you recommend white-listing or black-listing the request headers sent via cURL, and which specific headers? Thanks <?php use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response; use GuzzleHttp\Psr7\Response as CurlResponse; class ApiResponder { public function delete(Response $httpResponse, CurlResponse $curlResponse) { return $this->proxy($httpResponse, $curlResponse); } //other public methods... private function proxy(Response $httpResponse, CurlResponse $curlResponse) { foreach($this->getResponseHeaders($curlResponse) as $name=>$value) { $httpResponse=$httpResponse->withHeader($name, $value); } return $httpResponse->withBody($curlResponse->getBody())->withStatus($curlResponse->getStatusCode()); } private function getResponseHeaders(Response $httpResponse):array { //Blacklist headers which should be returned to original client.

One is just an "Ok" and the other is a cookie (like 1%2C%2C%2C2087364217%2C2087310473%....... etc) I can login ok and set extract the cookie... I then use the soapclient __setCookie to set the cookie for all further calls to the Webservice. However when I make the next call I am getting an error saying that the call is unauthorised as if I have not logged in or the cookie has not been passed.... Please help!!

Does anyone have any ideas? Sam Hello All, running into a situation that I have not seen before. I have been seeing in multiple areas of my application that the response received from the server has 2 JSON responses in it. Here is a sample function: private function getCatalogItems(){ $start = ($_REQUEST["start"] == null)? 0 : $_REQUEST["start"]; $count = ($_REQUEST["limit"] == null)? 20 : $_REQUEST["limit"]; $q = "SELECT c.`id`, c.`catalog_number`, c.`long_description`, CONCAT(c.`catalog_number`, ' - ', c.`long_description`) AS `display` FROM catalog c"; if(!empty($_REQUEST['query'])){ $q .= " WHERE c.`catalog_number` LIKE '%".$_POST['query']."%'"; } $q .= " ORDER BY c.`catalog_number` ASC LIMIT ".$start.",".$count; $rs = $this->db->get_results($q); $total = $this->db->num_rows; $buff = '{"total":"'.$total.'","data":'.json_encode($rs).'}'; $this->c->returnJSON($buff); } The "returnJSON" function looks like this. public function returnJSON($json){ $contentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8"; header("Content-Type: {$contentType}"); header("Content-Size: " . strlen($json)); echo $json; } As you can see this simply sets the headers of the response. It has been a real head scratcher. Anyone come across something like this before? How can I receive a response from the server with JSON data, when the function that retrieves the data and returns it to the browser has been completely commented out? I am making an AJAX request for JSON formatted data and for some reason it returns a response when it shouldn't as there is no function? I send off this: <?php $data = "<egateway> <eCardExpiryMonth>01</eCardExpiryMonth> <eCardExpiryYear>04</eCardExpiryYear> <eCardHoldersName>Joe Bloke</eCardHoldersName> <eCardNumber>4444333322221111</eCardNumber> <eCVN>123</eCVN> <eTotalAmount>100</eTotalAmount> </egateway> "; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $edata); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/gateway_cvn/testpage.asp"); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); ?> In return, I get the following XML: Code: [Select] <eResponse> <eTrxnStatus>True</eTrxnStatus> <eTrxnNumber>20219</eTrxnNumber> <eAuthCode>123456</eAuthCode> <eReturnAmount>100</eReturnAmount> <eTrxnError>00,Transaction Approved(Test CVN Gateway)</eTrxnError> </eResponse> Is there a way to make it so this does not show, and instead I can make PHP do something like: if (eTrxnStatus == True) {// do stuff}; ? HI, I need to know how to get the response objects from a webserve call. I call the following webservice: $params = array('mobiUser'=>"WJBASSON",'mobiPass'=>"83dop"); $soap = new SoapClient('http://172.18.22.182/csp/ampath/ReportGeneration.Mobi.Services.cls?WSDL'); $result = $soap->login($params); When I do var_dump($result) I receive the following: stdClass Object ( [loginResult] => stdClass Object ( [MobiRegUserID] => 34 [MobiRegUserName] => WJBasson ) ) I need to know how can I get the values of objects MobiRegUserID and MobiRegUserName ?? I am making a simple login with jQuery ajax but I have a little problem. I get no response from my loginizer.php . My login page (index.php) contains the following code.
<form action="loginizer.php" onsubmit="return submitForm();" method="post" class="box"> <div id="error" ></div> <input id="matNo" name="matNo" class="input is-link is-rounded" type="text" placeholder="e.g. 2015/1/55852EE"> <input id="password" name="password" class="input is-link is-rounded" type="password" placeholder="********"> <button type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" class="button is-link is-small">Login</button></form>
My loginizer php contains the code:
<?php if(isset($_POST['submit'])){ require("db.php"); $table="Students"; $pUser=$_POST['matNo']; $pPass=$_POST['password']; $sql= $conn->prepare("SELECT * FROM $table WHERE Email=?"); $sql->bind_param("s",$pUser); $sql->execute(); $result = $sql->get_result(); $row = $result->fetch_assoc(); $user= $row['Email']; $pass = $row['Password']; $errMsg="Invalid Credentials"; $errMsg1="username doesn't exist"; $successMsg = "successLogin"; if($result->num_rows < 1) { echo json_encode($errMsg1); exit; } elseif($pUser == $user && $pPass !== $pass) { echo json_encode($errMsg); exit; } else{ echo json_encode($successMsg); exit; } } ?>
Ans lastly myJquery.js file which contains:
function submitForm() { var userid=$("#matNo").val(); var pass=$("#password").val(); if(userid!="" && pass!="") { $("#submit").html("Please Wait..."); $.ajax ({ type:'post', url:'loginizer.php', data:{ matNo:userid, password:pass }, dataType:'json', success:function(response) { if(response=="successLogin") { window.location.href="dash/home/"; } else { $("#error").html(response); //alert("Wrong Details"); } } }); } else { alert("All details are required"); } return false; }
The issue is that I get blank response . If I also change the url in the jQuery/Ajax code to index.php, it comes back with a response consisting of the html of the index.php. If I remove the dataType: 'json', it's still no response.
Thanks for your help in advance!!! Hi, I currently have this code: Code: [Select] <?php function respond_xml($status, $message) { $out = new XMLWriter(); $out->openURI("php://output"); $out->setIndent(true); $out->startDocument("1.0", "ISO-8859-1"); $out->startElement("statuscheck"); $out->writeElement("status", $status); $out->writeElement("message", $message); $out->endElement(); $out->endDocument(); $out->flush(); } function main() { header("Content-type: text/xml"); if (!isset($_GET["file"])) respond_xml("ERROR", "File parameter missing"); else if (file_exists($_GET["file"])) return respond_xml("OK", "File exists"); else return respond_xml("NOT OK", "File does not exist"); } main(); ?> This code works and gives a correct XML response when you type in for example "http://localhost:8080/php/script.php?file=test" it's says: Code: [Select] <statuscheck> <status>NOT OK</status> <message>File does not exist</message> </statuscheck> Now, I need it to be able to check it every 5 seconds so i've use this code Code: [Select] header("Refresh: 5; URL=http://localhost:8080/php/script.php?file=test"); Here's my problem: The first 5 or 10 tries it should say "file not found". After the 10th try it should automatically say "file found". BUT it should also time out after like 50 tries and it hasn't found the file. But i don't know how to do this.. |
