PHP - Sending Post Data With Curl

What setopt variables would i need to set with this request?


Thanks

I have a working API that I can get a json web token from in curl on my server, jquery ajax, postman, anything id like but php cURL.. I need help. I'm sure I'm over looking something easy.

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(

  CURLOPT_URL => 'http://xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxx/auth/login',

  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,

  CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',

  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,

  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,

  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,

  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,

  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',

  CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS =>'{

    "checked":"",

    "username":"xxxxxxxx",

    "password":"xxxxxxxx"

}',

  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(     

    'Content-Type: application/json'

  ),

));

$response = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);

echo $response;

 

 

Here is my Ajax code that works:

<script>

var settings = {

  "url": "xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxx",

  "crossDomain": "true",

  "method": "POST",

  "timeout": 0,

  "headers": {    

    "Content-Type": "application/json"

  },

  "data": JSON.stringify({

    "checked": "",

    "username": "xxxxxxxx",

    "password": "xxxxxxxx"

  }),

};

 

$.ajax(settings).done(function (response) {

  console.log(response);

});

 

</script>

 

 

Im lost.

I have checked that cURL is enabled on my server. I have tested pulling webpages with cURL with out post data just fine.

remove url

I am doing this:
$fields = array(
"code" => $this->code,
"secret" => $this->secret,
"domain" => $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],
);
$this->ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://weblyize.com/API/v1");
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
$opt = curl_exec($this->ch);
return $opt;

But the post fields are not being passed for some reason, and I can't figure out why. I do a print_r($_POST); on the url above, and it is empty.

Do you see anything wrong with my curl?

Here is the page:
http://phpsnips.com/search/doSearch.php

I am setting up an API for my users, and the user sends post data via cURL. Is there a way I can see what site that the post data is coming from?

would $_SERVER['REMOTE_HOST'] work?

I am not using that to validate information.

Ive tried everything and cannot get this POST to work, page comes up blank. The output of curlgetinfo() shows:

Users make entries into a form on my site which are then sent to a remote server which generates a variable length page of results for the users perusal.  I want the results to be displayed on my site but I discover that iframe height is a problem so I am trying PHP in a separate file to avoid an iframe.  Then maybe I can cache the result pages and display them without any height difficulties and not having to fiddle with javascript.

The first PHP code I try is prevented from working and I discover that the apparent cause is the issue of fopen and fsockopen etc. being set to off by the host that I use because of security concerns:

$url="http://remote_server.cgi";
foreach($_POST as $key => $value)
{$url .="$key=" . urlencode($value) . "&";}
$array = file($url);]

The host has cURL so I try that but the form entries are not being accepted as they are with a direct post from the form:

$URL="http://remote_server.cgi";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_POST);
curl_exec ($ch);    
curl_close ($ch);

In case useragent is a problem at the remote server, I added:

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13');

I know all entries are received by the separate file by using:

print_r($_POST);

But the remote server still says "Error in form found. You are not authorized etc. etc... "

Apparently the post data is not being sent like the form sends it.

Any suggestions?

I'm new to PHP, XML, and web development in general, so please bear with me... I'm working in a PHP environment and need to send user credentials $username  and $password in XML via a HTTP post. Does that even make sense? Let me explain:

I have already successfully used a method of capturing credentials, and they can be called by the use of $username and $password. I need to pass these on to an XML web service on another domain, but they need to be included in a larger piece of XML. To top it all off, I need this process to occur only when an image in a page is clicked.

Here is the XML that needs to be sent (except that $username and $password are my strings from above):
<xml-fragment xmlns:vp="http://my.host.com/somedirectory">  <vp:vprequest>  <query>authenticateUser</query>  </vp:vprequest>  <vp:vpuser>  <username>$username</username>  <password>$password</password>  <userid/>  <firstname/>  <lastname/>  <useremail/>  <assignedRoles>  <roleDef/>  </assignedRoles>  </vp:vpuser>  <vportal>  <vportal_id>1</vportal_id>  </vportal> </xml-fragment>

I need to send it to: https://my.host.com/xmlwebapp
Anything sending to the XML Web App must pass their XML data with the content type set to application/xml.

I'm confused with how I should be sending this. I believe that the XML APP can receive HTTP POST, but I don't know how to write that code into PHP and then have it send it all as XML.

Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

I am testing a url for http post request. It connects to the site then it is disconnected. In fire fox it is giving error that the "connection was reset". In google chrome it is giving error that "Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data". Following is the script.

I am new to curl and also new to http request response. The provider of this site tells me that everything is ok and it is sending data but i am not getting any data or any header of this site.

<?php

$data = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><Request><Source ClientID="test_xml" Password="1234" /><RequestDetails Language="En"><SearchHotelPriceRequest><ServiceDestination DestinationType="city" DestinationCode="477" /><ImmediateConfirmationOnly>1</ImmediateConfirmationOnly><PeriodOfStay><CheckInDate>2012-03-01</CheckInDate><Duration>3</Duration></PeriodOfStay><Rooms> <Room NumberOfRooms="1" NumberOfAdults="2" /> </Rooms></SearchHotelPriceRequest></RequestDetails></Request>';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://62.218.28.13:8443/monWebService/Request/v2');

Hi guys, what I'm struggling to do is

1) Users land on https://www.mysite.com/login.php
2) Users type their email and password
3) POST data submitted to http://www.3rdparty.com/login.php with cURL
4) Users redirected to http://www.3rdparty.com/index.php (logged in).

I've been using this simple form to POST directly to the 3rd party site.

Code: [Select]
<form name="loginform" method="post" target="_blank" action="http://www.3rdparty.com/login.php">
Email <input name="email" type="text">
Password<input name="password" type="password">
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="loginbutton" value="login"></form>
This works great. But now I've installed a SSL on my site and I've just realised that using the form above, the data is still POSTed as a plain text because the 3rd party site is not https.
So I want to submit the form to my login.php form and let this form take the users to the 3rd party site. So at least the user inputs to my site is encrypted.
My new code looks like this.

Code: [Select]
<form name="loginform" method="post" target="_blank" action="login.php">
Email <input name="email" type="text">
Password<input name="password" type="password">
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="loginbutton" value="login"></form>
<?php
 if(isset($_POST['email']))     $email= $_POST['email'];
 if(isset($_POST['password']))   $password= $_POST['password'];
 if(isset($_POST['submit']))   $submit   = $_POST['submit'];
 
 $Curl_Session = curl_init('http://www.3rdparty.com/login.php');
 curl_setopt ($Curl_Session, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
 curl_setopt ($Curl_Session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "email=$email&password=$password&submit=$submit");
 curl_setopt ($Curl_Session, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
 $result =  curl_exec ($Curl_Session);
 curl_exec ($Curl_Session);
 curl_close ($Curl_Session);

print $result;
?>

What this code is doing now is it's just rendering the www.3rdparty.com's login page (not logged in) on my site.
When I type wrong values, it renders www.3rdparty.com's login page with an error message on it.
So I think at least the values are being POSTed but it doesn't log me in.
All of the cURL codes available out there seem to POST the data and fetch some results back not redirecting the users to another site.
My ultimate goal is to POST the form and redirect the users to the 3rd party site's member area as well.
I tried header("Location: http://www.3rdparty.com/index.php"); but it just takes user to that page without being logged in.

Could anyone give me some hints?

Hey people of php freaks recently, I've been having issues changing a discord webhook [curl] post request to a website [curl] post request. My knowledge in PHP is very limited so, I really would appreciate some help

This is the function:

function postToDiscord($message)
{
    $data = array("content" => $message, "username" => "Payouts Bot");
    $curl = curl_init("https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/591662537293168650/eyme87xmCuKne4njucoDSqzojq78NaS9x7t4sgP9m-l5EmrvUeZegkM4wok-L-UdBDxo");
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    return curl_exec($curl);
}

Currently the discord bot transfers the message into a discord channel and, I do not want that. I want it to transfer it onto a website page. As, I said i'm not very keen on this so please help me.

Hi, i'm currently building essentially an API for my URL shortener site so other sites can implement it. But i've hit a stumbling block on the last script of the lot(the others merely collate the data and store it)

In this last script, i need to find all this data, stored in cookies and inout it into the database, as the main site does(i'm confident this bit works, as it's the code from the main site just copied across, and i can see the data in the database). Importantly, i then need o look in another table for the callback URL to send the data back to


$urltoshorten = $_COOKIE["URLtoShorten"];
$alias = $_COOKIE["urlalias"];
$key = $_COOKIE["key"];
//connection details go in here
$alias =mysql_real_escape_string($alias);
$urltoshorten = mysql_real_escape_string($urltoshorten);
$base = "http://s-url.co.uk/i/?id=";
$url = $base . $alias ;
//this is the main bit, where the URL shortening occurs
mysql_query("INSERT INTO table (id, name) VALUES('$alias', '$urltoshorten')")or die( mysql_error());
//this is where the callback url is looked for
$result= mysql_query("SELECT apiaddress FROM apistuff WHERE apinumber='$key'")or die( mysql_error());
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$new = $row[apiaddress]; 
//I then start a CURL session to POST data to the page in question, as found above
$Curl_Session = curl_init($new);
curl_setopt ($Curl_Session, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($Curl_Session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "shortenedurl=$url");
curl_exec ($Curl_Session); 
curl_close ($Curl_Session);

annoyingly, no errors get thrown, as far as i can see, i just end at a blank page without being returned to the callback page.

I'm rather stumped on this one, where am i likely to be going wrong/how do i go about correcting it.

Cheers
Joe

Hi all,

I am new here and I really thank God that I found this forum! I have read the materials here on working with cURL on javascript-form-submission pages. However, I can't to get my script to work. Can anybody here please help me out or drop me a hint on where to correct my script?

==Situation==

My company utilizes http://www.myfax.com/free/ to send our company faxes. My task is to write a code that would submit files for faxes electronically.

Note: The site also requires e-mail confirmation but I haven't get to that stage yet. I have run tests on submitting fax requests both by code and manually through the site, and have confirmed that the code doesn't work on the submission level because I managed to receive confirmation e-mails for manual submissions. Also, I tried my script with different staff email addresses because I figured out that it blocks only the same e-mail address from sending more than 2 faxes a day.

Hey guys,

First post here, so feel free to flame me if im violating the rules somehow.

So, the issue is this: i built an ebay listing creator for a customer. it conssists of a form with several fields being posted to a page that assembles everything into a listing (text, images, radio buttons etc.). now, what i want to do is to easily allow the customer to copy the compiled source code into the clipboard (or a txt file, doesnt really matters) - in order to easily copy it into ebay. I tried it with CURL, but all i get is the source without the posted information. I must be missing something there.

Any help would be appreciated, if you need links or codes iv's used, ill provide.

Thanks in advance!
