I really can't tell whether you're being sarcastic, so I'll assume you're not.

Sorry about that. No sarcasm here. I was so taken aback on how different your
code was. I thought I was never going to understand the way you did it vs the
way I tried. Sorry about that.

I am getting null result from curl-ing a page with json post variables. I try this url in my Firefox browser - http://www.targetsite.com/search.php#somevar.someothervar (#somevar.someothervar are irrelevant, I think, as I get the curl variables from Firebug below.) In Firebug, this shows: POST http://www.targetsite.com/ajax/search.xml In Firebug, below this link are tabs for: Headers, Post, Response, XML and Cookies. Post tab shows like: JSON VAR1 1 VAR2 "2012-09-12" VAR3 null CACHED [] OPTIONSnull To prove there is output, the Firebug Response tab shows: various JSON encoded stuff The above is what I am trying to curl. My php code: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); //target page from Firebug above: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.targetsite.com/ajax/search.xml";); //I was not sure how to represent CACHED [], so set it to null try "CACHED"=>array() $data = array( "VAR1" => 1, "VAR2" => "2012-09-12", "VAR3" => null, "CACHED"=>null, "OPTIONS"=>null, ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); //make the request $result = curl_exec($ch); //this returns null Any ideas where to go with this? Maybe I need to include the Cookies? I use the above php and curl functions normally so it's all installed on the server. John It might be that the site is using sessions/cookies. Have a look at the header data with firebug. Not sure if that's the problem, to find out what's really going on, call echo curl_error($ch); after curl_exec to find out what went wrong exactly. If you still don't know how to proceed, paste the result of the curl_error call in your reply. - Matijn I added the cookies to the post array. I changed php array to "CACHED"=>array() for the JSON "CACHED":[], and corrected php's null to NULL. It is not returning any error. The browser was showing 'resource not present' before I added the cookies to the post array, now it just returns null $result. Looks like I am transcribing something incorrectly. John I eventually sorted this out. Solution involved: POST params needed to be json_encoded $params=json_encode(array( "name" => "value" )); Thanks to http://www.lornajane.net/posts/2011/posting-json-data-with-php-curl curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post); Also, included headers as array and set application type as json: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( 'Content-Type: application/json', 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($post)) ); Set encoding to auto-detect: curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, ""); John -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] The end of "mysql"
And I didn't see the follow-up messages saying that they do support PDO after all. Crisis averted! :-) I have actually found very few hosts that run ext/mysqli. Everyone I know jumped from ext/mysql to PDO. I've never actually run mysqli myself; at this point everything I do is PDO. --Larry Garfield On 09/09/2012 04:49 PM, Larry Garfield wrote: Then get a new host.
