PHP - Exploding With Curl

Hi,

I've been asked to modify a section on a site for a local club.

Basically, I've been asked to improve the name input section (a user may have to input up 15 names in one visit to the site).

At the moment the site works like this:
The user enters one members first name in one form box, then the surname in another, then presses "add name" which adds it to the list.

What i want to be able to do (and i'm sure i've seen it somewhere), is have the user enter the list of names into one big text area: Type in the first name then the surname, hit enter for a new line in the text area then type the next name....etc. When the list is complete press "add names" button.

Is there a name for this type of input? And does it work on the following principle:
1. The entire text sent from the text area can be exploded into an array using the line break as the delimiter
2. Each value in the array is then the first name and second name.
3. I can then explode each value further now using the space as the delimiter.
4. I am left with a bunch of arrays containing the first name in one value and the surname in the second

Any help or pointers here would be class

Cheers,

John

Heres the code of the line im trying to trim

$r = mysql_query("insert into points values ('','${v[0]}', ${v[1]}, '$At')")or die (mysql_error());
mysql_query("insert ignore into toc values ('','$p1', '$At'),('','$p2', '$At'), ('','$p3', '$At'), ('','$p23', '$At')") or die (mysql_error());
if (!$r) die (mysql_error());

the line pertaining to the question is the  insert into points . what that part of the code does is
takes this preformatted text START POINTS
MrsSpacely 1
nanatravels 1
Trust_Me_honey 2
moratala 3
xxBIGDAVExx 3
Spring_Chicken 5
tomrarose 5
sitdownnplay 7

Melyn 25
mokan40 30

STOP POINTS And inserts it into the points table. Which works fine but if you put a space after Stop points or before any name it comes back with an error about check spaces, and doesnt post the whole thing   what i need to do is trim all the spaces from the text before it tries to go into the  table

good day dear community,

i am workin on a Curl loop to fetch multiple pages:

i have some examples - and a question:

Example: If we want to get information from 3 sites with CURL we can do it like so:


$list[1] = "http://www.example1.com";
$list[2] = "ftp://example.com";
$list[3] = "http://www.example2.com";


After creating the list of links we should initialize the cURL multi handle and adding the cURL handles.


$curlHandle = curl_multi_init();
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
 $curl[$i] = addHandle($curlHandle,$list[$i]);


Now we should execute the cURL multi handle retrive the
content from the sub handles that we added to the cURL multi handle.

ExecHandle($curlHandle);
for ($i = 1;$i <= 3; $i++)
{
 $text[$i] =  curl_multi_getcontent ($curl[$i]);
 echo $text[$i];
}

In the end we should release the handles from the cURL multi handle by calling curl_multi_remove_handle and close the cURL multi handle!

If we want to another Fetch of sites with cURL-Multi - since this is the most pretty way to do it!
Well I am not sure bout the string concatenation. How to do it - Note I want to fetch several hundred pages:
see the some details for this target-server sites - /(I have to create a loop over several hundred sites).

    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9009
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9742
    * siteone.example/?show_subsite=9871

.... and so on and so forth Question: How to appy this loop into the array of the curl-multi?

I look forward to your ideas.

Using curl_multi, I have loaded up 3 url's and then printed the array.

1) How can I also set a timestamp on output to let me know when each url was run?

2) How can I explode the array to only display the data and timestamp, excluding the text "Array ( =>", "[1] =>", "[2] =>" and " )"? Code

<?php

function multiRequest($data, $options = array()) {

  // array of curl handles
  $curly = array();
  // data to be returned
  $result = array();

  // multi handle
  $mh = curl_multi_init();

  // loop through $data and create curl handles
  // then add them to the multi-handle
  foreach ($data as $id => $d) {

    $curly[$id] = curl_init();

    $url = (is_array($d) && !empty($d['url'])) ? $d['url'] : $d;
    curl_setopt($curly[$id], CURLOPT_URL,            $url);
    curl_setopt($curly[$id], CURLOPT_HEADER,         0);
    curl_setopt($curly[$id], CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    // post?
    if (is_array($d)) {
      if (!empty($d['post'])) {
        curl_setopt($curly[$id], CURLOPT_POST,       1);
        curl_setopt($curly[$id], CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $d['post']);
      }
    }

    // extra options?
    if (!empty($options)) {
      curl_setopt_array($curly[$id], $options);
    }

    curl_multi_add_handle($mh, $curly[$id]);
  }

  // execute the handles
  $running = null;
  do {
    curl_multi_exec($mh, $running);
  } while($running > 0);

  // get content and remove handles
  foreach($curly as $id => $c) {
    $result[$id] = curl_multi_getcontent($c);
    curl_multi_remove_handle($mh, $c);
  }

  // all done
  curl_multi_close($mh);

  return $result;
}



$data = array(array(),array());

$data[0]['url']  = 'http://search.yahooapis.com/VideoSearchService/V1/videoSearch?appid=YahooDemo&query=Pearl+Jam&output=json';
$data[1]['url']  = 'http://search.yahooapis.com/VideoSearchService/V1/videoSearch?appid=YahooDemo&query=Black+Eyed+Peas&output=json';
$data[2]['url']  = 'http://search.yahooapis.com/VideoSearchService/V1/videoSearch?appid=YahooDemo&query=Nirvana&output=json';

$r = multiRequest($data);

print_r($r);

?>

Output

Array ( => Pearl Jam [1] => Black Eyed Peas
        [2] => Nirvana )

Preferred Output

01:00:01 Pearl Jam
01:00:02 Black Eyed Peas
01:00:03 Nirvana

Hello, I'm new to lot of this and especially php.

I'm having hard time with one of my app that I created. 
If you go to ticketlawyerorlando.com/sms5.html and you try to send text, (which is set to go to only one number (mine)) than I get error code from php that is supposed to curl it. 


Error:

curl_close($curl_handle);

</html>

In my php, the URL that's being curled, in the part where it says "test4" that should be actual message that  is typed in the form but I don't know what kind of parameter to insert there in order for it to send message that's written, it always sends message "test4".

Please, if you could help me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank You so much again.


MOD EDIT: code tags added

I have a large list of websites that have allowed me to submit my website and description every 24 hours to there sites. I'm really getting tired of sitting by my computer and submitting the information to every site manually. I never understood curl and php dom stuff. does anyone have a easy code where I can

post a pre scripted text of my information into three boxes and it auto submits every 24 hours to the websites?

The boxes look like this

Code: [Select]
<input maxlength="255" value="http://" name="sPlugurl" size="20" style="font-family: Verdana; color: FE9999; font-size: 10pt; background-color: 656565; font-weight: none; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C" type="text">

<input maxlength="30" value="Sitename" name="sPlugname" size="20" style="font-family: Verdana; color: FE9999; font-size: 10pt; background-color: 656565; font-weight: none; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C" type="text">

<input maxlength="255" value="Description" name="sPlugdescription" size="20" style="font-family: Verdana; color: FE9999; font-size: 10pt; background-color: 656565; font-weight: none; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C" type="text">

<input type="submit" value="Dump" style="background-color: #656565; font-family: Verdana; color: &lt;? echo ;?&gt;; font-size: 10pt; border: 1px solid #0C0C0C">
the php script would auto fill out  the value of the first 3 boxes with my info and then the program would submit it to there forum.

I looked on google but nothing I found I can figure out?

What exactly is cURL?

What are alternatives to it?

I am reading some code for submitting payment info to a Payment Gateway and trying to understand how cURL plays into this?!

Thanks,


Debbie

hy all long time no see
recently i did find this problem
i'm trying to login to a webpage with curl ,but without success ,ofcourse the basic posting is not the problem xD but the page have a hidden field (for security) so everytime you load the page it changes so post wont work if you first use get to take the page and extract the hash from it.

the page contains something like
input type= hidden value=A RANDOM VALUE THAT CHANGES EVERYTIME

without that value passed to post it wont login.

anyone knows how can i pass it so the post will be valid?
thank you

Hi there,

I wanted to create files from my phpscript. So I used the most obvious function, fopen(). It didn't work on my server and contacted the administrator, who said fopen() was disabled for security reasons, and that I should use cURL. So I did what everyone would do; I googled it. Found the php.net curl manual, but can't really comprehend what it sais. So I have a few questions:

1) Can you create .php files with cURL?
2) How?
3) How do I then write php-content in the file?

Please try to explain rather detailed and simplified, I've never been good at quickly understanding all these things.

Thanks a lot!

I have a few questions that deals with cURL.

Question #1
Lets say I'm using cURL to fill out a form with multiple pages. Is cURL able to navigate through each page of the form retaining all the previous pages information until I reach the last page, then submit it all without losing any data?

I'm pretty sure this is possible, I just can't seem to find any tutorials or help with it.

Question #2
Lets just say I was trying to fill out a form with a CAPTCHA (which obviously I can't get past). Is there a way to display the web page with all the other information filled out, and just leave the CAPTCHA blank to be manually inputted?

It would be greatly appreciated if you are able to point me in the right direction! Thanks in advance!

I am trying to send the following curl command using PHP but I have so far been unsuccessful, any help would be appreciated :-)


curl -u 1fd7b89be6f3533d7:X -H  'Content-Type:application/xml' -d '<message><body>Test  using the API</body></message>' http://someurl.com


The purpose of this script is to automatically send a message to a campfire chatroom for a PHPUnit script using Selenium

can someone help me create a cURL for this?

i think its a get method, right?

Access it including the GET parameters and make sure that settings are also follows. Dispatcher URL: http://website.net/gw/dispatcher.woof

GET Parameters:
RRN is the random reference number
SRC is the access code (i.e 2336)
DST is the recipient of the message (i.e. 639209547958)
MSG is the actual reply message up to 420 characters, including non printable characters.
KYWRD is the primary keyword (i.e. hello)



need help. thanks..


this is my current code
<?php

//getting the value of RRN
$rrn=urlencode($_GET['rrn']);
//getting the value of MSG
$msg=urlencode($_GET['msg']);
//getting the value of DST
$dst=urlencode($_GET['dst']);
//getting the value of SRC
$src=urlencode($_GET['src']);
//setting up the value of KYWRD
$kywrd = urlencode('KEYWORD');

//assuming that the dst here is 2336

$aw = "haha";


$str= "?src=".$dst."&dst=".$src."&msg=".$aw."&rrn=".$rrn."&kywrd=".$kywrd;

print $str;

 $ch=curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,' http://www.website.net/gw/dispatcher.woof'.$str);
 curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);


?>

Is this correct? Thanks
