[SOLVED] PHP cURL to kick Shoutcast Source

[grunshaw]

Hi guys,

I'm guessing most (or at least a lot) of people will have some knowledge of the SHOUTcast administration interface. Basically, what I am doing is building an admin interface that each DJ has a login for, so, I dont want to give out the administration login details for the server, but I want to be able to have DJs kick the Auto DJ source.

 

The link looks like this

 

http://djcp.co.uk:8000/admin.cgi?mode=kicksrc

 

The code I have so far is like this

<?

$url="http://djcp.co.uk:8000/admin.cgi?mode=kicksrc";

// The usual - init a curl session and set the url
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $base_url);

// Set your login and password for authentication
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'admin:xxxxxxx');

// You can use CURLAUTH_BASIC, CURLAUTH_DIGEST, CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE,
// CURLAUTH_NTLM, CURLAUTH_ANY, and CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE
//
// You can use the bitwise | (or) operator to combine more than one method.
// If you do this, CURL will poll the server to see what methods it supports and pick the best one.
//
// CURLAUTH_ANY is an alias for CURLAUTH_BASIC | CURLAUTH_DIGEST |
// CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE | CURLAUTH_NTLM
//
// CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE is an alias for CURLAUTH_DIGEST | CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE |
// CURLAUTH_NTLM
//
// Personally I prefer CURLAUTH_ANY as it covers all bases
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);

// This is occassionally required to stop CURL from verifying the peer's certificate.
// CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST may also need to be TRUE or FALSE if
// CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER is disabled (it defaults to 2 - check the existence of a
// common name and also verify that it matches the hostname provided)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

// Optional: Return the result instead of printing it
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// The usual - get the data and close the session
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch); 
?>

I thought this might work ouf of the box (obviously substituting the relevant variables), but it doesn't, it just hangs.

 

Is there any way I can simplify this at all?

 

Tahnks in advance

James.

i think it be better using mysql theo, this way you can see what dj online now and statics.

I think you may have miss-understood me.

 

I am building a DJ Control panel for the station, this is what contains different actions that different levels of users can execute. MySQL does not answer my question for what I want to do. I'm already using MySQL for the control panel to store user details and show details so I can display them on the main page so users visiting hte site can see who is on air.

 

what I want to do is to be able to kick the source from the admin panel that I am creating, thats why I need help with the segment of code above to make it work.

Ok...with much research and looking at this in a different way after seeing a different script, i have managed to acheive what I wanted. So, here for the other people that may find this useful is what i have now done.

 

I scrapped the cURL idea and use fsockopen instead.

 

$timeout = 5;
$pass="xxxxxxxxx";
$ip="12.34.56.78";
$port="8080";

$fp = @fsockopen($ip, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, $timeout); 
if($fp) { 
  fputs($fp,"GET /admin.cgi?pass=".$pass."&mode=kicksrc  HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent: XML Getter (Mozilla Compatible)\r\n\r\n"); 

echo "Success, Source kicked. <a href='home.php'>Go Back</a>"; }

 

I hope someone else can find use in this snippet.
