implementing Curl in php script

[linuxMaestro]

How can I use Curl instead of fopen and fread in the following script?

<?php

$whmusername="lin";
$whmpassword="mae";

$url="

http://mydomain.com:2086/scripts/passwd?password=$passwd&domain=$domain&user=$user";

$resource=fopen($url,"r");
$output=fread($resource,500000);
echo "$output";
fclose($resource);

?>

If you have the CURL package installed, yes.
There are good examples in the PHP documentation:

http://www.php.net/curl

Yes, I have curl installed, would this be the correct change?

<?php

$whmusername="lin";
$whmpassword="mae";

$url="

http://mydomain.com:2086/scripts/passwd?password=$passwd&domain=$domain&user=$user";

$resource=curl($url,"r");
$output=curl($resource,500000);
echo "$output";
fclose($resource);

?>

Nope, not even close.

To paraphrase DRJ478, take a look at the example code here:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php

Take a look also at my FAQ for an example of using cURL to send POST-method data to a URL: faq434-2502

I followed the sample but, I get some errors, while trying to open a page protected by .htaccess:
Warning: fopen(/scripts/passwd?password=new&domain=sanjan.mydomain.com&user=sanjans): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/adv/public_html/curlex.php on line 10

Warning: curl_setopt(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/adv/public_html/curlex.php on line 12

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/adv/public_html/curlex.php on line 17

My Code is;
<?
error_reporting(63);

$whmusername="sanjans";
$whmpassword="*******";

$ch = curl_init ("

http://$whmusername:$whmpassword@sanjan.mydomain.com:2086/");

$fp = fopen ("scripts/passwd?password=$passwd&domain=$domain&user=$user", "r");

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $fp);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
fclose ($fp);
?>

Got any tips?

All of your problems stem from this line:

$fp = fopen ("scripts/passwd?password=$passwd&domain=$domain&user=$user", "r");

Since it fails, a the rest of the errors cascade from it.

What, exactly, are you trying to do in this line? If you're trying to open a file on a web server somewhere, you need to specify a complete URL in the filename parameter. If you're trying to open a file on the local filesystem, you can't pass what appear to be GET-method variables.

This is the full URL

http://$whmusername:$whmpassword@sa...wd?password=$passwd&domain=$domain&user=$user

I tried putting that whole think in fopen but got the same error.

 

[sleipnir214]

So you're trying to pipe the output from one web server to another.

That URL is not well-formed. There is a colon where there should be a forward slash.

Also, verify that the string you're constructing is correct. As a test, instead of creating the string and passing it to fopen, create the string and put it in a variable. Output that variable to the browser.

Thanks, I got it to work, but when I use
print_r(curl_getinfo($c)); it gives me the page results and also this array. How do i get it not to print the array?

Also the :2086 is because I'm accessing the page on port 2086

Array ( => [URL unfurl="true"]http://sanja...d=new&domain=sanjan.mydomain.com&user=sanjans [content_type] => text/html [http_code] => 200 [header_size] => 82 [request_size] => 258 [filetime] => -1 [ssl_verify_result] => 0 [redirect_count] => 0 [total_time] => 3.18 [namelookup_time] => 0.004 [connect_time] => 0.004 [pretransfer_time] => 0.004 [size_upload] => 0 [size_download] => 6003 [speed_download] => 1887.7358490566 [speed_upload] => 0 [download_content_length] => 0 [upload_content_length] => 0 [starttransfer_time] => 1.184 [redirect_time] => 0 )

According to the manual, with the way you're invoking it, that function should return an array.

However, that function is not returning the actual content of the page you're hitting via cURL. Unless you issue curl_setopt() with the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER setting, curl_exec() will output the content of the foreign page.
