PHP - Curl Using Post Not Working

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.

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($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://62.218.28.13:8443/monWebService/Request/v2');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
echo $data;
?>

I'm trying to send a HTTPS POST request with XML data to a server using PHP.

Anything sends to the server requires authentication therefore I'll use cURL.

Some background info.: the XML data is to request the server to upload a file from a specific URL to its local storage.

One rule of using this API is I MUST set the content type for each request to application/xml.

This is what I've done but isn't working...

<?php
$fields = array(
'data'=>'<n1:asset xmlns:n1="http://.....com/"><title>AAAA</title><fileName>http://192.168.11.30:8080/xxx.html</fileName><description>AAAA_desc</description><fileType>HTML</fileType></n1:asset>'
);
$fields_string = "";
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) {
$fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&';
}
rtrim($fields_string,'&');

$url = "https://192.168.11.41:8443/";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "admin:12345678");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/xml', 'Content-length: '. strlen($fields_string)) );

$result = curl_exec( $ch );

curl_close($ch); 

echo $result;
?>

I am expected to get an XML reply of either upload successful or upload failed. But instead I am getting this error message.

HTTP/1.1 415 Unsupported Media Type Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 0 Date: Thu, 02 Dec 2010 03:02:33 GMT

I'm sure the file type is correct, the XML format is correct. I've tried urlencode the fields but it didn't work. What else I might have done wrong?

I've looked at various cURL tutorials and the PHP manual, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong here. My goal is to be able to send data to test.php and then have that page run a MySQL query to insert the TITLE and MESSAGE into the database. Any comments? :/

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?

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 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

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!

Hello All,

I have a simple upload form which I am using to upload files to Box.net using PHP Curl. It works fine for small files, but times out for larger files. Anyone have any suggestions for this?

Thanks,

Hey everyone, so im trying to utilize a systems OPTION command send prior to the POST command, the OPTION command will for example state that it would like to request specific headers. im trying to perform this to get the headers needed before the POST command im trying to execute, the values are required for the POST command i need to perform to get a response.

The URL in question would be:

https://media-entitlement.mlb.com/api/v3/jwt?os=windows&amp;did=ffeae86c-9447-4bac-a021-caad0c02c605&amp;appname=mlbtv_web

Request method: OPTIONS (to get required headers):

Host: media-entitlement.mlb.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:67.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/67.0
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Access-Control-Request-Method: GET
Access-Control-Request-Headers: authorization,x-api-key
Referer: https://www.mlb.com/tv/g566992/v4db99327-63d3-4f23-a94d-a1ff465e177d
Origin: https://www.mlb.com
Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0
 

then a post command is performed just after which retrieves the values originally requested by the OPTIONS command prior to the POST:

Now Generally speaking, i fully understand their authorization etc. but this specific set of values seem only used in this one situation, they use bam-sdk which i understand pretty well. but needless to say this authorization bearer, and api-key value only seem generated via the initial OPTIONS grab in browser. so in summary i need to understand how these OPTIONS commands can be utilized to store the required headers as a variable which can be used in the POST command.

Thanks in advance for your time and energy responding.

Hi,
I want to fetch some xml data from google website to my website using curl library. i tried. it display nothing to me even my error display is enabled. can any one guide me with small example how can i get sml content using curl.
Thanks

I have an integration with a third party that utilizes a SOAP API.  On my current server AND my local environment, this works fine.

I recently deployed a new server and it seems that cURL isn't doing anything.  *The code is identical on all three installations.

The "error" that I am seeing is no response at all (no response and no error, however, I can see that it is a "Resource").

After much trial and error, I tried creating a simple cURL example to test try to rule out other issues as the code itself is quite complex.  My simple example, that also fails, is as follows:

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "google.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$output = curl_exec($ch);
$err = curl_error($ch);

print_r($err);
echo $output;
curl_close($ch);

  This does the same thing.  On local, I get a "301 Moved" notice, on the new server, it is just a white screen.

I have confirmed that php has curl installed in via command line (php -m) and using phpinfo(); in my code.  It is definitely enabled.

What would cause cURL to not have a response AND not have an error?  My thought is a server setting, but I can't seem to find what might be causing this.
