[SOLVED] sendRequest problem

[Rob17]

Hi all,

 

Im v new to PHP and am having a problem on an opensource element of code.  I know the code works as it was functioning on my old laptop before it went bang but i cannot get it working on my new laptop.  The line of code is as follows:

 

$xmlstr = sendRequest($path, $body);

 

I've no doubt this is something I have setup incorrectly but if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

 

Thanks in advance.

Rob

SendRequest performs the following:

 

function sendRequest($path, $body, $xml_only=true, $repeat=true) {

global $amee_host,$amee_port,$responses;

if(!isset($_SESSION["authToken"]) && strpos($path,"POST /auth")===false){

    setAuthToken();

}

$authToken=$_SESSION["authToken"];

$header = $path." HTTP/1.0\n"

    .getCookieLines() //insert cookies

    ."Accept: application/xml\n";

if($authToken!=null)

$header.="authToken: ".$authToken."\n";

$header.="Host: ".$amee_host."\n"

    ."Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\n"

    ."Content-Length: ".strlen($body)."\n"

    ."\n"

    .$body;

 

  //echo($header."<br/>");

  $s = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

  $z = socket_connect($s, gethostbyname($amee_host), $amee_port);

  socket_write ($s, $header, strlen($header));

 

  $lines=array();

  $lines[0]="";

  $i=0;

  $xml_line="";

  while (true) {

    $c = @socket_read($s, 1);

    echo($c);

    if ($c == "\n" || strlen($c)===0) {

      echo($lines[$i]."<br/>\n");

      if(strpos($lines[$i],"Set-Cookie:")!==false)

      storeCookie($lines[$i]);

      else if(strpos($lines[$i],"<?xml")!==false)

      $xml_line=$lines[$i];

      if(strlen($c)===0)

      break;

      $i++;

      $lines[$i] = "";

    }

    else

        $lines[$i] .= $c;

  }

 

  socket_close($s);

 

  if(strpos($lines[0],"401 UNAUTH")!==false){//auth failed, try again, try ONCE at getting new authToken then trying again

if($repeat===true){

debug("<p><b>Authentication failure - get new token and try again.</b></p>");

setAuthToken();

return sendRequest($path, $body, $xml_only, false); //try just one more time!

}

else

debug("Authentication failure on second attempt.");

  }

  if($_SESSION["debugOn"])

$responses[count($responses)]=array("request"=>$header,"response"=>$lines);

  if($xml_only)

    return $xml_line;

  else

    return $lines;

}

 

//This function creates a new user profile and returns the 12 digit UID.

function createNewProfile(){

$path = "POST /profiles";

$body = "profile=true";

 

try {

    $xmlstr = sendRequest($path, $body);

} catch (Exception $e) {

    echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";

}

Do you get any error messages?

 

TIP: When posting code if you surround it all with [code] and [/code] tags it preserves formatting and color codes everything for ease of reading.

Hi,

 

The exact line this fails on is:

$s = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

 

It doesnt through an error it just dies a death.

 

Cheers,

Rob

Not a command I'm familiar with.

 

Only problem I've encountered with sockets is some web hosts block their use. You don't say whether you're running this via your new laptop on web hosting or whether you have Apache & PHP running on your laptop.

I'm running this on my local machine via IIS.  I'm wondering if i've installed / setup php wrong

problem solved - had sockets commented out in php.ini...... DOH!
