php curl

[phpnewb999]

Hi All,

 

I wrote this code with php curl to do a http post feed to backpage:

 

    $url = "http://posting.newyork.backpage.com/online/BulkUpload/PostAds";

    $filename = "mai_backpage.xml";

 

    $handle = fopen($filename, "r");

    $request = fread($handle, filesize($filename));

    $header[] = "Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded";

    $header[] = "Accept: text/xml";

    $header[] = "Content-length: ".strlen($request);

    $header[] = "Cache-Control: no-cache";

    $header[] = "Connection: close \r\n";

    $header[] = $request;

    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, user@email.com:password');

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,'POST');

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);

    $execPost = curl_exec($ch);

    curl_close($ch);

    echo"$execPost";

    $closefile = fclose($handle);

 

and I've been getting this for reply

 

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

- <importResults>

  <userKey />

  <newAdCount>0</newAdCount>

  <updatedAdCount>0</updatedAdCount>

  <importError>Missing email.</importError>

  <importError>Missing password.</importError>

  <importError>Authentication failed.</importError>

  <importError>Missing file.</importError>

  </importResults>

 

What am I doing wrong that they are not reading the email and password for authentication?

 

Here is the upload documentation from backpage:

Thanks in Advance!

anyone see anything wrong with this code?

That's not posting, It's just sending headers and getting the response.

There is something else you need to post.

 

Search for it on http://php.net/curl

I've read and tried everything but it is just working in php.  It seems to be that the username and password is just not being passed.

 

Below is a perl script that works:

#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

    # ^^^ this must be the first line of the script! ^^^

    # start code

   

    use strict;

    use CGI;

    my $q = new CGI;

# print header and start the markup output

   

    print $q->header( "text/html" ),$q->start_html( "backpage response" );

    # end code

 

use Getopt::Long;

use LWP::UserAgent;

use HTTP::Request::Common;

 

  my $server = 'newyork.backpage.com';

 

  # You may choose to hard-code $email and $password here instead

    my $email = 'bpsales';

    my $password = 'bpoffice';

    my $filename = 'backpage.xml';

 

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();

  $ua->agent(qq|Backpage Form Upload Client ($email)|);

 

  my @parameters = ( email => $email,

                  password => $password,

                importFile => [ $filename ],

                    quiet => 'yes' );

 

  my $url = "http://posting.$server/online/BulkUpload/PostAds";

  my $req = POST($url, Content_Type => 'form-data',

                            Content => \@parameters );

  # $req->content_type('multipart/form-data');

  my $response = $ua->request($req);

 

  if ($response->is_success()) {

      my $output = $response->content();

      $output =~ s/^[\s\.]+//; # remove leading whitespace and marching dots

 

      print $output;

  }

  else {

      print "HTTP request failed:\n";

      print $response->status_line() . "\n";

      exit 1;

  }

 

Again anyone see whats missing/wrong with the php script?

#!c:\perl\bin\perl.exe

 

That's A Pearl script.

Yes that is a perl script that works fine.  Basically I've been trying to convert it into a php script using curl but to no success.
