When I first started, I thought Curl would be an excellent way of retrieving a chunk of data in the format json. It didn't work. I tried doing some Ajax request instead, but that didn't work either.
Now, this is my Curl request:
$ch = curl_init("url");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Accept' => 'application/json',
'Auth' => 'code',
));
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print_r($data);
... The CURL requests RETURNS a EMPTY STRING. No errors...
$opts = array(
'http'=>array(
'method'=>"GET",
'header'=>"Accept: application/json
" . "Auth: code",
)
);
$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$url = "";
$fp = fopen($url, 'r', false, $context);
$r = @stream_get_contents($fp);
fclose($fp);
print_r($r);
Provides a nice array with json data. Why? Isn't this literally supposed to do the same thing?
Because CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER doesn't take associated arrays. You need to add the complete header.
$ch = curl_init("url");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Accept: application/json',
'Auth: code',
));
$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print_r($data);
