[SOLVED] PHP Wrapper Problems

[tigomark]

Hello all,

 

I am having problems getting a string comparison to work in my wrapper script

 

<?php

$customer = $_REQUEST['customer'];
$username = $_REQUEST['username'];
$password = $_REQUEST['password'];


$mystring = strstr("<error ver=\"1.0\">", "</error>" );

$url = "https://$customer.mysite.net/interface.php?action=showopen&operation=showassets&format=xml&opstatus=crit&username=$username&password=$password";


function auth_curl($url){
   	$curl = curl_init();
   	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
   	$html = curl_exec($curl); // execute the curl command



    if (false == strpos($mystring, "error")){
$html = "<loginsuccess>Yes</loginsuccess>";
    }else{

    $html = "<loginsuccess>No</loginsuccess>";
    }
	curl_close($curl); // close the connection
	return $html; // and finally, return $html
}

// uses the function and displays the text off the website
$text = auth_curl($url);
echo $text;

?>

 

 

Now the output of the xml is as follows

 

<error ver="1.0">

<action>showopen</action>

<code>109</code>

<message>Failed to authenticate user 'user'</message>

</error>

 

so what I am trying to do is grab everything between the error tag and if I get the error tag I want to show the <loginsuccess>No</loginsuccess> else give them access to the app.

 

Any help would be great

With strpos comparison i'm 99.999% sure you need to check it against false with an identical comparison (===) as opposed to an equal comparison (==)..

 

Give that a whirl and see what happens.

Thanks,

 

I have tried it both ways and either way it does not work.

 

doing a printf($mystring)

 

produces no results so I am thinking that the string has been created incorrectly but I'm not sure what the right way would be.

[tigomark]

Would it just be better to change $mysting to = the string that I want?

[tigomark]

nope no dif other than now the printf has a value of the code change.

[tigomark]

duh I should have been doing var_dump.  $mystring is coming out as always false.

[tigomark]

I needed to add the curl option

 

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

 

and then compare to $html instead of $mystring.
