CURL Script - POST

Question

I'm new to curl. Just I try to post the value using curl script but I'm getting empty response. Help me is there any mistake in my code? How do I post a value using curl

$params = array('name' => 'karthick', 'type' => 'data'); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/test.php?action=create'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true ); // curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD,$authentication); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC); // curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER,'http://www.example.com.au'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$params); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/plain')); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); var_dump($result);

are you getting the response status as 200 first? suggest setting verbose on and have you obtained a proper response from this URL previously, like using cURL from command prompt as there's a possibility that it might even be a server side issue? — optimusprime619

You can try this code

public function getDataThroughCurlPost($param) { $ch = curl_init("$url"); error_reporting(E_ALL); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$param"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0); $response = curl_exec($ch); $ch = curl_close("$url"); return $response; }

Been using this for quite a few of my websites. Hope this helps.

$sPost .= "<Username>".$username."</Username>"; $sPost .= "<Password>".$password."</Password>"; $url = "YOUR_POST_URL"; $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$sPost); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $logindetails = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); $xmlarray = xml2array($details); echo "<pre>"; print_r($xmlarray); echo "</pre>";

xml2array class found here: http://www.bin-co.com/php/scripts/xml2array/

Hmm..Use error_reporting(-1) to find out if there are any errors. Also have you got curl enabled?

// curl function starts

 function get_web_page( $url ) { $options = array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page CURLOPT_HEADER => false, // don't return headers CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, // follow redirects CURLOPT_ENCODING => "", // handle compressed CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "spider", // who am i CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true, // set referer on redirect CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT => 120, // timeout on connect CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 120, // timeout on response CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10, // stop after 10 redirects ); $ch = curl_init( $url ); curl_setopt_array( $ch, $options ); $content = curl_exec( $ch ); $err = curl_errno( $ch ); $errmsg = curl_error( $ch ); $header = curl_getinfo( $ch ); curl_close( $ch ); $header['errno'] = $err; $header['errmsg'] = $errmsg; $header['content'] = $content; return $header; }

// curl function end

$cont = get_web_page("http://website.com/filename.php"); $handle = explode("<br>",$cont['content']); print_r($handle);
