Hello people at StackOverflow,
I am trying to learn some more on cURL and have come up with the following form:
<?php
//controleer of het formulier gesubmit is. Als dat zo is stuur de data door naar de link
if(isSet($_POST['submit']))
{
$ch = curl_init("http://jecom.nl/jecom/curl/receive.php");
//definieer de link
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
//zet het type op post
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "sender=" .$sender."&receiver=".$receiver."");
//stuur de gegevens uit het formulier door naar de link
curl_exec($ch);
//Zet de output op het scherm
if (curl_errno($ch))
{
print curl_error($ch);
//Als er een fout is geef deze dan
}
else
{
curl_close($ch);
//Sluit de link met de website
}
}
else
{
?>
<form method="POST" action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" name="login">
<table width="100%">
<tr align="center">
<td width="50%" align="right"><font color="navy">Sender</font></td>
<td width="50%" align="left"><input type="text" name="sender" size="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td width="50%" align="right" width="100"><font color="navy">Receiver</font></td>
<td width="50%" align="left"><input type="text" size="50" name="receiver"></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td width="50%" align="right" width="100"><font color="navy">Amount</font></td>
<td width="50%" align="left"><input type="text" size="50" name="amount"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Inloggen"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
<? } ?>
And this is my receiving end script:
<?php
// recipient.php
$sender = ($_POST["sender"]);
$receiver = ($_POST["receiver"]);
$amount = ($_POST["amount"]);
print "Greetings, visitor from {$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']}";
echo ($_POST['sender']);
?>
It is not showing my echo. Even though I think cURL is enabled on both servers.
I've edited your code slightly to add a CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, that way you can receive the output of remote server as a response from the curl_exec() function. Another thing i did is to change the $sender and $receiver vars with the appropriate $_POST array indexes. Last change is that i changed the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS directive to receive an array.
The code runs fine and the response is as expected: Just paste this into some new file and load in browser and try for yourself.
<?php
if($_POST) {
$ch = curl_init("http://jecom.nl/jecom/curl/receive.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('sender' => $_POST['sender'], 'receiver'=> $_POST['receiver']));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$result = curl_exec($ch); // HERE YOU GET THE RESULT OF THE REQUEST AS A STRING
if (curl_errno($ch))
{
print curl_error($ch);
} else {
curl_close($ch);
}
var_dump($result);
}
?>
<form method="POST" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" name="login">
<table width="100%">
<tr align="center">
<td width="50%" align="right"><font color="navy">Sender</font></td>
<td width="50%" align="left"><input type="text" name="sender" size="50"></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td width="50%" align="right" width="100"><font color="navy">Receiver</font></td>
<td width="50%" align="left"><input type="text" size="50" name="receiver"></td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td width="50%" align="right" width="100"><font color="navy">Amount</font></td>
<td width="50%" align="left"><input type="text" size="50" name="amount"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> </td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td colspan="2" align="center"><input name="submit" type="submit" value="Inloggen"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
I also got the response upon the submit :
string(41) "Greetings, visitor from 84.229.122.167me"
