cURL Calls

[Hellbringer2572]

Hi,

Is it possible to return information on a cURL call. for example i want to kind of make my own API for my website cn i make a cURL call to my server and return data back to the client or is cURL just to send data.

 

if cURL is just to send data what is another method to send a request and receive data back on the call?

 

Thanks

Mike

curl_exec returns the page you called!

ok, i tried what i thought would work and it didnt here is the code

 

Call

function testFun()
{
$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://192.168.0.1/test/curl.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
			"test1=1&test2=0");

$returnDate = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close ($ch); 

echo $returnDate;
}

 

Server to reutn data

 

$var1 = $_POST['test1'];
$var2 = $_POST['test2'];

if($var1 == "1")
{
return "one was selected";
}
elseif($var2 == "1")
{
return "two was selected";
}

 

thanks

you need to use echo instead of return

ie

echo "one was selected";
