Curl return values

[EchoFool]

Hey,

 

I just managed to get my curl script working and when i execute it with :

 

echo curl_exec ($ch).'<br>'; 

 

I get this as a result, which i am trying to understand how i manipulate it to assign to variables..:

s=507183574&d=0&n=name.part5.rar1

 

Firstly that last character 1 i don't know why it keeps returning a 1 even when its incorrect it still does it which seems to be some thing im doing wrong... but it returns this string - how do i put them into variables :S ? It looks like GETs from how its worded :S

Since it is a query string, parse_str should suit you well.

 

As for it returning one because you do not have the returntransfer set in the curl_setopt. So it is displaying the contents to the browser, there is no need to echo in this case. To fix it add this before you run the exec:

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURL_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // allows for transfer to be put into a string

 

Then change your echo to:

$return = curl_exec($ch);

 

Then add the parse string logic:

parse_str($return, $valueArray);
echo "<pre>", print_r($valueArray), "</pre>";

 

Should do you right.

I tried that and that returned :

s=996147200&d=0&n=name.part5.rar

 

Array

(

    [1] =>

)

1

Post the code you tried it with.

 

EDIT:

An amendment to my first post:

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // allows for transfer to be put into a string

 

Try that and it should work. Sorry about that.

Thanks thats perfect although do u happen to know why i get this number "1" appearing after it :

 

Array
(
    [id0] => 0
    [s] => 996147200
    [d] => 0
    [n] => name.part5.rar
) 
1 < < <

It was how I used print_r. Change it to this to remove the 1.

 

parse_str($return, $valueArray);
echo "<pre>", print_r($valueArray, true), "</pre>";

 

As the true will make it not return a true/false value. print_r for more information.

Ok thanks! Final question sorry

 

I tried this after it :

 

If($valueArray[4] == 0){ echo 'hi'; }

 

Seems to be unhappy with it - (in this case [4] is :  [d] => 0 )

 

 

Am i getting it correct on how i grab the values?

It is an associative array, meaning it is not number indexed. You have to call it by 'd':

If($valueArray['d'] == 0){ echo 'hi'; }

 

If you want it to be both you can do this, however, the associative should be enough:

$i=0;
foreach ($valueArray as $val) {
    $valueArray[$i++] = $val;
}

 

Will give you a numbered index as well as the associative. So yea either or I guess.
