PHP - Invalid Request To Service File Falls Through

First thanks for any help that you can provide. I am somewhat new to PHP and this is the first "Web Service" I have had to create.

THE GOAL:
I need to pull XML data from another server. This company's API is setup so that you must give an IP and so you can only pull data from server to server instead of client to server. The data is pulled from the API using HTTP requests...very similar to YQL. (in essence the structured query is located in the URL).  This API also requires that my server only ping's their server every 10-15 mins, in order to cut down on server requests.

The logical thought in my head was to setup: a cron job to run a PHP script every 10 mins. The PHP scripts would then do the following:
1. Make the HTTP request
2. Open an existing file or create one (on my server)
3. Take the returned XML data from the API and write to the newly opened file.
4. Convert that XML to JSON.
5. Save the JSON
6. Cache the JSON file
7. STOP

My thought was to use curl and fopen for the first 3 steps. I found a basic script that will do this on PHP.net (as shown below). After that I am pretty much lost on how to proceed.


Code: [Select]
<?php

$ch = curl_init("http://www.example.com/");
$fp = fopen("example_homepage.txt", "w");

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
?>

I would REALLY appreciate any help on this. Also, if you have the time to please comment and explain what you are doing in any code examples and why....that would HELP out a lot. I truly want to learn not just grab a snippet and run. So, your comments are vital for me.

thank!!!

Doing something wrong, but don't see it.  How should one retrieve a POST parameter?  My $request->toArray()['html'] works, but I am sure it is not the "right way".

<?php
namespace App\DataPersister;
use ApiPlatform\Core\DataPersister\DataPersisterInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;

class ArchivePersister implements DataPersisterInterface
{
    public function __construct(RequestStack $requestStack)
    {
        $request = $requestStack->getCurrentRequest();
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->getMethod(): '.$request->getMethod());
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->getContent(): '.$request->getContent());
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->request->get(html): '.$request->request->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->query->get(html): '.$request->query->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->get(html): '.$request->get('html'));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->toArray(): '.json_encode($request->toArray()));
        syslog(LOG_ERR, '$request->toArray()[html]: '.$request->toArray()['html']);
    }
}

output

$request->getMethod(): POST
$request->getContent(): {"project":"/projects/1","description":"","html":"<p>{{ project_name }}</p>"}
$request->request->get(html):
$request->query->get(html):
$request->get(html):
$request->toArray(): {"project":"\/projects\/1","description":"","html":"<p>{{ project_name }}<\/p>"}
$request->toArray()[html]: <p>{{ project_name }}</p>

Start with: Saturday August 13 1978.  What is the next year that August 13th falls on a Saturday?

Couldn't find an answer to that anywhere!

I have spent almost 2 days looking for solution to the strangest error I have ever meet.

Whenever I do commenting and my php script, the sricpt falls running.
Code: [Select]
<?php 

error_reporting(E_ALL | E_STRICT);
echo 'test1';
//echo 'testi2';
echo 'test3';
flush();

?>
trigger_error("Here we are!", E_USER_ERROR);
 

This will output: test1.

I have tried lot of things to find out the problem but I can't get any error message and whenever I remove the comments, the script works absolute fine. The script works also with comments in my local server, but whenever I download it on the other server, the problem appears. The file encoding is a UTF-8 format without BOM, and the file is one part of my Yii application. I haven't relasized similar behaving in other scripts.

I wonder if someone has some idea what could cause this kind of behaving?

I'm very thankful to man who can give me ideas...

What is the easiest way of finding out in php what date a certain day falls on?

ie:  I want to know what date is the 3rd Thursday of every month.

for example,  this month would be "
The third Thursday of this month falls on :  18th November  "

Whats the best way of doing that in php?

Thanks,,

Hey! I am trying to get a database table of users but am running into the error:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://protege-ontology-editor-knowledge-acquisition-system.136.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&amp;user=68583) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!

I have looked it up and it may be a security thing...The urls I am getting are http://protege-ontology-editor-knowledge-acquisition-system.136.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=user_nodes&user=68583 but the error adds an nodes&amp; part that screws it up. Any way around this?

Code: [Select]
<?PHP

$mainPage = "http://protege-ontology-editor-knowledge-acquisition-system.136.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=app_people&node=136";
$mainContent = file_get_contents($mainPage);
$pattern = "/(?<=\"Page )\d\d+/";
preg_match_all($pattern, $mainContent, $pageNumb);

//find the max page
for($i=0;$i<sizeof($pageNumb[0]);$i++) {
if($pageNumb[0][$i] > $maxPage) {
$maxPage = $pageNumb[0][$i];
}
}
//echo('Max page is: '.$maxPage.'\n');

//Get an array of all the pages
$pages = array();
 for($i=1;$i<$maxPage;$i++) {
$pages[$i] = "http://protege-ontology-editor-knowledge-acquisition-system.136.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=app_people&node=136&i=".($i*20);
 }
//print_r($userPages);

//Get personal page urls and add to MySQL
mysql_connect("localhost" , "root") or die("Cant connect");
mysql_select_db("protegeusers") or die("Cant find database");
foreach($pages as $url) {
$urlContents = file_get_contents($url);
$pattern = "/http:\/\/protege-ontology-editor-knowledge-acquisition-system\.136\.n4\.nabble\.com\/template\/NamlServlet\.jtp\?macro=.+;user=\d+/";

I'm getting the following result from a web service call.  I'd like to pass it to another page, possibly using sessions, and then access specific values on that page, such as FirstName.   stdClass Object ( [GetProspectAsJSONResult] => [ { "ProspectId": xxxxxx, "Keycode": "Test", "FirstName": "Test", "LastName": "Test", "Company": "Test","Email": null } ] )   I'm not sure what the best way to do this is.   Thanks!

Hi, guys. I just developed and published first version of 12framework for iOS which can call also PHP web services. It is web service client which generates dynamic forms from web service results, and enables insert, update and delete of records. You can simply change result field type to text, memo, date, bool. I also made some simple PHP web service to test functionallity of application, so I will really appreciate your feedback. iOS is locked platform, so 12framework provides possibility, to make some useful data forms that works as native application.

Hi Guys/Gals,

I am new to PHP and when I say new, I mean I know a variable is $variable name... that is about it.

I am a .Net developer, always was, now I have to learn some php.

I have a .Net payment gateway service that I would like to reference
from a php site.

I was hoping anyone could point me in the right direction on how to go
about adding a .Net Service and pointing to it in PHP.

Please note this is a WPF service, thus it is a .svc page not a .asmx
and it is hosted and running on iis on a server.

Please some guidance? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi everyone.

I am looking at creating my application's back end with PHP, which returns all data with Jason or simplexml. I have tried Slim once, but think there should be something easier to use.

Can anyone give me suggestions on what I can use which is easy to catch on, and maybe an example?

Appreciate it.

Kind regards

I have service /usr/lib/systemd/system/socketserver.service defined as follows:

[Unit]
Description=Socket Server
After=syslog.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/php /var/www/socket/server.php
Restart=on-abort
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When hitting the following lines:

$cmd="tshark -f 'port 1337' -i eno16780032 -a duration:4 -w /var/www/socket/tmp/test.pcap";
$status = exec($cmd, $output);
syslog(LOG_INFO, 'results: '.json_encode($output).' status: '.($status?'success':'false'));

I get the following:

Jun 04 18:58:56 tapmeister.com php[43111]: Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
Jun 04 18:58:56 tapmeister.com php[43111]: Capturing on 'eno16780032'
Jun 04 18:58:56 tapmeister.com kernel: device eno16780032 entered promiscuous mode
Jun 04 18:59:00 tapmeister.com kernel: device eno16780032 left promiscuous mode
Jun 04 18:59:00 tapmeister.com php[43111]: 0 packets captured
Jun 04 18:59:00 tapmeister.com Server[43111]: results: []  status: false

Sure enough, exec('whoami') confirms I am running as root.  Probably shouldn't be.  How would you recommend configuring?

PS.  the three lines shown regarding tshark are executed via an asynchronous request and are not in the main loop.

Hi!

I need to retrieve data from a WCF Web Service and don't seem to be connecting when the "new SoapClient" is called.  I am using php version 5.2.  The service requires 2 Parmameters, an account ID and a comma separated email list.  Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks!

Code: [Select]
<?php
header('Content-Type: text/xml'); 

$client = new SoapClient('http://www.zbestlistings.com/WCF/Primedia.svc?wsdl');
$response = $client->GetPropertyXML(array( "AccountID" => "12807175152", "eMailList" => "Sheryl@Rentingslc.com, Tenants@Rpmwestvalley.com, 

Tom@Rpmsouthernutah.com" )); 
echo   $response;

Hello   I am looking for a way to log all incoming requests to a nusoap web service to a file.. any suggestions?   Thanks

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 ??
