Triple Posting Issue

[haydenm92]

I'm pretty much a foreigner when it comes to php, so I need a little help with a bit of code. I have this bit of code:

 

<?php
require( 'ccproto_client.php' );

// your connect information
define( 'HOST',		"72.233.64.162"	);	// YOUR HOST
define( 'PORT',		7462		);	// YOUR PORT
define( 'USERNAME',	"myusername"	);	// YOUR LOGIN
define( 'PASSWORD',	"mypassword");	// YOUR PASSWORD

define( 'PIC_FILE_NAME',	"pic.jpg"	);
    
$ccp = new ccproto();
$ccp->init();

print( "" );
if( $ccp->login( HOST, PORT, USERNAME, PASSWORD ) < 0 ) {
	print( " FAILED\n" );
	return;
} else {
	print( "" );
}

$system_load = 0;
if( $ccp->system_load( $system_load ) != ccERR_OK ) {
	print( "" );
	return;
}
print( "" );

$balance = 0;
if( $ccp->balance( $balance ) != ccERR_OK ) {
	print( "" );
	return;
}
print( "" );

$major_id	= 0;
$minor_id	= 0;
for( $i = 0; $i < 3; $i++ ) {
	$pict = file_get_contents( PIC_FILE_NAME );
	$text = '';
	print( "" );

	$pict_to	= ptoDEFAULT;
	$pict_type	= ptUNSPECIFIED;

	$res = $ccp->picture2( $pict, $pict_to, $pict_type, $text, $major_id, $minor_id );
	switch( $res ) {
		// most common return codes
		case ccERR_OK:
			print( $text );
			break;
		case ccERR_BALANCE:
			print( "not enough funds to process a picture, balance is depleted" );
			break;
		case ccERR_TIMEOUT:
			print( "picture has been timed out on server (payment not taken)" );
			break;
		case ccERR_OVERLOAD:
			print( "temporarily server-side error" );
			print( " server's overloaded, wait a little before sending a new picture" );
			break;

		// local errors
		case ccERR_STATUS:
			print( "local error." );
			print( " either ccproto_init() or ccproto_login() has not been successfully called prior to ccproto_picture()" );
			print( " need ccproto_init() and ccproto_login() to be called" );
			break;

		// network errors
		case ccERR_NET_ERROR:
			print( "network troubles, better to call ccproto_login() again" );
			break;

		// server-side errors
		case ccERR_TEXT_SIZE:
			print( "size of the text returned is too big" );
			break;
		case ccERR_GENERAL:
			print( "server-side error, better to call ccproto_login() again" );
			break;
		case ccERR_UNKNOWN:
			print( " unknown error, better to call ccproto_login() again" );
			break;

		default:
			// any other known errors?
			break;
	}
	print ( "\n" );

	// process a picture and if it is badly recognized 
	// call picture_bad2() to name it as error. 
	// pictures named bad are not charged

	//$ccp->picture_bad2( $major_id, $minor_id );
}

$balance = 0;
if( $ccp->balance( $balance ) != ccERR_OK ) {
	print( "balance() FAILED\n" );
	return;
}
print( "" );

$ccp->close();

// also you can mark picture as bad after session is closed, but you need to be logged in again
$ccp->init();
print( "" );
if( $ccp->login( HOST, PORT, USERNAME, PASSWORD ) < 0 ) {
	print( "" );
	return;
} else {
	print( "" );
}
print( "" );
$ccp->picture_bad2( $major_id, $minor_id );
$ccp->close();

It's supposed to return a value, but it's returning that value three times. I've asked someone else, but they said it's in this php code, and that this is an example code so I have to modify it so it only returns that value once. Like I said before, I don't have a clue when it comes to php, so I was wondering if someone was just able to look at the code and tell me what to fix.

 

That would be so helpful!

 

Thanks guys/gals,

Hayden

There's approximately 10 different values present in the code. It would certainly help if you narrowed down the problem by telling us which one exhibits the problem. We are not standing right next to you.

I'm sorry, I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. I know that this code is supposed to return a decoded captcha, but it's returning the captcha three times, so I'm not sure where to look for that.

 

I hope that helps! Sorry about the lack of info.

 

Thanks,

Hayden

for( $i = 0; $i < 3; $i++ ) {

Theres your problem. It's looping through that code three times. Either get rid of this, and the related closing bracket near the end, or change $i < 3 to $i < 1.

Thanks! I'll give it a try and report back here in case any others were having the same issues.

Alright, I gave it a quick, try and it worked. Thanks so much for you help!

 

I would have never figured that out on my own.
