Rewriting some code using fsockopen to use curl instead
Question
My host doesn't allow fsockopen, but it does allow curl. I'm happy using curl from the cli, but haven't had to use it with PHP much. How do I write this using curl instead?
$xmlrpcReq and Length are defined earlier.
$host = "http://rpc.pingomatic.com/";
$path = "";
$httpReq = "POST /" . $path . " HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$httpReq .= "User-Agent: My Lovely CMS\r\n";
$httpReq .= "Host: " . $host . "\r\n";
$httpReq .= "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n";
$httpReq .= "Content-length: $xmlrpcLength\r\n\r\n";
$httpReq .= "$xmlrpcReq\r\n";
if ($pinghandle = fsockopen($host, 80)) {
fputs($pinghandle, $httpReq);
while (!feof($pinghandle)) {
$pingresponse = fgets($pinghandle, 128);
}
fclose($pinghandle);
}
Thanks a lot!
Solution
Try this:
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'My Lovely CMS');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlrpcReq);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: text/xml"));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://rpc.pingomatic.com/");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$pingresponse = curl_exec($curl);
