CURL noob here

[pixellegolas]

Hi guys! Total noob here that needs a bit of help creating a form. I have gotten this piece of code and want people to optin with Name and email. Let me send the code first:

Request for PHP language:
<?php

$apiUrl = "https://udimi.com/api/affgen/addref";
$headers = [
    "Content-Type: application/json",
    "Auth: MY AUTH CODE HERE"
];
$referral = [
    'fullname' => 'Referral Fullname',
    'email' => 'refemail@domain.com'
];

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, [
    CURLOPT_URL => $apiUrl,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
    CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => false,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($referral),
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $headers
]);

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
    echo $response;
}

Success JSON response (HTTP status code: 200):
{"error": false}

Failed JSON response (HTTP status code: 200):
{"error": "Pass identity verification and earn a commission as Udimi affiliate."}

POST fields:
fullname: required, 2-25 chars, only English letters.
email: required

So I figured I need to create a html file with a simple form, so I created this:

<fieldset>
<legend>Form</legend>
<form action="test.php" method="post">
<label>Full Name: </label><input type="text" name="fullname" /><br />
<label>Email: </label><input type="text" name="email" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</fieldset>

The problem is that I got it populate something when entering the form but the name was "Referral Fullname" as the code and the email was "refemail..." as the code. It did not grab my input.

Any pointers here? Should I approach it in another way?

Try this ...

$referral = [
    'fullname' => $_POST['fullname'] ?? 'Referral Fullname',
    'email' => $_POST['email'] ?? 'refemail@domain.com'
];

so that it uses the input data if it exists

[pixellegolas]

Thanks, is the html code correct then with the name="fullname" etc?

[Barand]

Not pretty, but functions OK

[pixellegolas]

updating with the code gets me a http error 500 code only

What php version are you using?

[pixellegolas]

5.6 is installed on cpanel

[Barand]

Old versions will require...

$referral = [
    'fullname' => (isset($_POST['fullname']) ? $_POST['fullname'] : 'Referral Fullname'),
    'email'    => (isset($_POST['email']) ? $_POST['email'] : 'refemail@domain.com')
];

[pixellegolas]

[pixellegolas]

That worked like a charm! Thanks for the quick reply and help! A small donation might be in order

The second version (for v5.6) will still work with v7.0+
