All I have this snippet of code I want to convert to CURL.. I am a bit of a newbie on this so any help is greatly appreciated.

 

 

$response = do_post_request($url, $data);

 

 

// This function constructs and sends an HTTP request with a provided URL and data, and returns an HTTP response object

// This function uses the php_http extension

function do_post_request($url, $data, $optional_headers = null) {

  $request = new HttpRequest($url, HttpRequest::METH_POST);

  $request->setBody($data);

  $response = $request->send();

  return $response->getBody();

}

 

// Convert the response body into an XML element so we can extract data

$responseBody = new SimpleXMLElement($response);

This code is for passing on a post request, but you can use the relevant parts:

If you google for "php curl post" you'll find other examples too.  To get the result in a variable, set the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option too.

OK .. I know this should be really easy.. but refer to the I am a noob comment before.. here is my full page I am just a little confused on how to put Curl in place .. this is really just my lack of coding experience.. ask me about a Cisco router and I ll be great help--lol -- anyway I am trying to upload and utilize the Bing Spatial Data to post a xml file so I can attach some custom items to an entity..

 

 

<html>

  <head>

    <title>Using the Bing Spatial Data Geocode Dataflow API</title>

  </head>

  <body>

    <?php

 

$key = "xxxxxxx";

$url = "http://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Dataflows/Geocode?description=MyJob&input=xml&output=xml&key=".$key;

 

// STEP 1 - Create a geocode job

 

// Get the contents of an XML data file

$myfile = "geocodefeed.xml";

$data = file_get_contents($myfile);

 

// Call custom function to generate an HTTP request and get back an HTTP response

$response = do_post_request($url, $data);

 

 

// This function constructs and sends an HTTP request with a provided URL and data, and returns an HTTP response object

// This function uses the php_http extension

function do_post_request($url, $data, $optional_headers = null) {

  $request = new HttpRequest($url, HttpRequest::METH_POST);

  $request->setBody($data);

  $response = $request->send();

  return $response->getBody();

}

 

// Convert the response body into an XML element so we can extract data

$responseBody = new SimpleXMLElement($response);

 

 

// Get data (such as job id, status description, and job status) from the response

$statusDescription = $responseBody->StatusDescription;

$jobId = $responseBody->ResourceSets->ResourceSet->Resources->DataflowJob->Id;

$jobStatus = $responseBody->ResourceSets->ResourceSet->Resources->DataflowJob->Status;

 

echo "Job Created:<br>";

echo " Request Status: ".$statusDescription."<br>";

echo " Job ID: ".$jobId."<br>";

echo " Job Status: ".$jobStatus."<br><br>";

 

   

// STEP 2 - Get the status of geocode job(s)

 

// Call the API to determine the status of all geocode jobs associated with a Bing Maps key

echo "Checking status until complete...<br>";

while ($jobStatus != "Completed") {

 

  // Wait 5 seconds, then check the job’s status

  sleep(5);

 

  // Construct the URL to check the job status, including the jobId

  $checkUrl = "http://spatial.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Dataflows/Geocode/".$jobId."?output=xml&key=".$key;

  $checkResponse = file_get_contents($checkUrl);

  $responseBody = new SimpleXMLElement($checkResponse);

 

  // Get and print the description and current status of the job 

  $jobDesc = $responseBody->ResourceSets->ResourceSet->Resources->DataflowJob->Description;

  $jobStatus = $responseBody->ResourceSets->ResourceSet->Resources->DataflowJob->Status;

 

  echo $jobDesc." - ".$jobStatus."<br>";

 

}

 

// STEP 3 - Obtain results from a successfully geocoded set of data

 

//Iterate through the links provided with the first geocode job and extract the 'succeeded' link

$Links = $responseBody->ResourceSets->ResourceSet->Resources->DataflowJob->Link;

foreach ($Links as $Link) {

  if ($Link['name'] == "succeeded")

  {

    $successUrl = $Link;

    break;

  }

}

 

// Access the URL for the successful requests, and convert response to an XML element

$successUrl .= "?output=xml&key=".$key;

$successResponse = file_get_contents($successUrl);

$successResponseBody = new SimpleXMLElement($successResponse);

 

// Loop through the geocoded results and output addresses and lat/long coordinates

foreach ($successResponseBody->GeocodeEntity as $entity) {

  echo $entity->GeocodeResponse->Address['FormattedAddress'],"<br>";

  if (!$entity->GeocodeResponse->RooftopLocation) {

    echo $entity->GeocodeResponse->InterpolatedLocation['Longitude'].", ";

    echo $entity->GeocodeResponse->InterpolatedLocation['Latitude']."<br>";

  }

  else {

    echo $entity->GeocodeResponse->RooftopLocation['Longitude'].", ";

    echo $entity->GeocodeResponse->RooftopLocation['Latitude']."<br>";

  }

}

 

?>

 

  </body>

OK would it be something like this ....

 

// Call custom function to generate an HTTP request and get back an HTTP response

$response = do_post_request($url, $data);

 

 

// This function constructs and sends an HTTP request with a provided URL and data, and returns an HTTP response object

// This function uses the php_http extension

function do_post_request($url, $data, $optional_headers = null) {

$ch = curl_intit();

$request = curl_setop($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

$request = curl_setop($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,0)

$request = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]);

$request = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

$request = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$request = $data = curl_exec($ch);

$response =$request->send();

return $response->getBody();

curl_close($ch)

}

I double checked Curl was working on the server.. and it appears to be working just fine.. http://go.followclix.com/bing/curltest.php

 

<?

//Three parts to the querystring: q is address, output is the format, key is the GAPI key

$key = "x";

$address = urlencode("columbia MO");

 

//If you want an extended data set, change the output to "xml" instead of csv

$url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=".$address."&output=csv&key=".$key;

//Set up a CURL request, telling it not to spit back headers, and to throw out a user agent.

$ch = curl_init();

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,0); //Change this to a 1 to return headers

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

 

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

 

echo "Data: ". $data;

?>
