HTTP request not working

[ttocskcaj]

I have this code:

error_reporting(E_ALL);
        $post = array();
        $post['user'] = "ttocskcaj";
        $post['group'] = "Mod";
        $ret = '';
        $postdata_str = "user=" . $post['user'] . "&group=" . $post['group'];
        if (($fp = @fsockopen("www.secret.com", 8101, $errno, $errstr)) == false)
            die("Error $errno: $errstr\n");
        fputs($fp, "POST /permissions-proceed HTTP/1.0\r\n");
        fputs($fp, "Host: www.secret.com:8101");
        fputs($fp, "User-Agent: HTTPTool/1.0\r\n");
        fputs($fp, "Content-Length: 256\r\n\r\n");
        fputs($fp, "$postdata_str");
        while (!feof($fp)) {
            // receive the results of the request
            echo "<pre>".fgets($fp, 128)."</pre>";
        }
        fclose($fp);

Which is supposed to send a username and a group to a python script where the user is put into that group.

It's not working though.

I just want to check if everything is alright on this end, before trying to find what's wrong in the python.

What does "not working" mean? Are you getting an error?

Take the @ off of @fsockopen. That is an error suppressor

[ttocskcaj]

There's no errors. I'm pretty sure it's the python that's not working. I just wanted to confirm that that php is fine

Looks okay.

Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I changed it to use cURL and now it works fine :s

 

$survival_curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($survival_curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.secret.com");
curl_setopt($survival_curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($survival_curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($survival_curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$output_survival = curl_exec($survival_curl);
$info_survival = curl_getinfo($survival_curl);
curl_close($survival_curl);
