cURL is not working with codeignier 3 - dhaval - 07-24-2018

In CodeIgniter 3.1.8. I used cURL.

Code:
public function sample()

{

    $ch = curl_init();

    $target_url = 'https://apiurl.com';

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');

    $args['file'] = new CurlFile($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/file/'.'sample.docx');

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); 

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

    $response = curl_exec($ch);

    if ($response === false) {  

       print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch));

       die;

    }

    print_r($response);

    die('--------------here-----------------');

}

I can not get any error or response from that.
but the same code is working outside of Codeigniter.
should I use an external library for that? or Should I make some changes to the code?
I checked this one https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-curl but it is DEPRECATED.

Try error_reporting(E_ALL) - I suspect errors are disabled, pretty sure $args['file'] = ... should display a warning, as $args is not defined as array before setting a value to it.

What PHP version are you targeting?

Thanks for you reply pertti,

I am using PHP 7.1.
and yes all errors are enabled on my portal I already checked error_reporting(E_ALL). but the same code is run outside of CodeIgniter. Huh

RE: cURL is not working with codeignier 3 - Pertti - 07-25-2018

Did I understood it right, it never gets to the die('--------------here-----------------'); ?

If not, add echo '1'; ... echo '2'; every few lines of code, and you should see at what point does it break.

The curl_init method returns a false if there is an error.

PHP Code:
public function sample()
{
    $ch = curl_init();

    if ($ch !== false)
    {
        $target_url = 'https://apiurl.com';
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
        $args['file'] = new CurlFile($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/file/'.'sample.docx');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

        $response = curl_exec($ch);
   
        if ($response === false)
        {  
            print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch));
            die;
        }

        print_r($response);
        die('--------------here-----------------');
    }
    else
    {
        // ERROR
    }
} 

Give that a try.

Use below code

public function sample()
{

$ch = curl_init();
$target_url = 'https://apiurl.com';
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
$args['file'] = new CurlFile($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/file/sample.docx');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

if($httpcode == 200 || $httpcode == '200')
{
print_r($response);
}
else
{
echo "httpcode : ".$httpcode;
if ($response === false)
{
print_r('<br />cURL error: ' . curl_error($ch));

$error_message = curl_strerror($errno);
echo "<br />cURL error ({$errno}):\n {$error_message}";
}
}

}

If its return httpcode than after follow below link for verify exact error :
1) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status
2) http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-response-code.php

So you can move further easily.

In case someone needs it this is a CodeIgniter 3 CURL Library.

Simple to pull in and use Guzzle HTTP Client for your needs. It's not just for CodeIgniter, so it works everywhere.
