ranienter Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hey everyone, I'm trying to send a JSON array to an API via HTTP POST, get a response and print it. I tried using cURL to do so, but it doesn't seem to work. I simply get zero response, a blank page. My request: <?php $data = array( "login" => "myLogin", "password" => "myPassword", "id" => "12345", "tag" => "test" ); $json_data = json_encode($data); $ch = curl_init('URL/api/mylogin'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_data); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( 'Content-Type: application/json', 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($json_data)) ); $output = curl_exec($ch); $result = json_decode($output); echo $result; ?> The response I should be getting: {"status": 200, "message": "OK", "login_key": "abcdefh532h235yh"} any idea why I'm not getting any response? (this works ok when I manually test it using a test REST client) Thanks, Rani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 What's the raw $output you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranienter Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 I got nothing, a blank page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Any errors? What does your code look like when you var_dump() the $output and the $result, and exactly what output do you get (because you will get something). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bashy Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Why not turn on header info? curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, TRUE); or curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkfire Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 What does this give you: var_dump(curl_getinfo($ch), curl_error($ch)); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
