  • 1.  PHP Code for API XML Post

    Posted 01-21-2020 05:21
    I have an API_Authenticate and API_DoQuery calls working in Postman, but my PHP knowledge is 20 years old. The following code results in an http 301 error.  I am lost as to how construct the contents of my $request-xml variable.  I am out of my depth with the curl code.  I may have some other problems:) Could someone kindly respond with a correction(s):

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>

    <?php
    $request_xml = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
    Content-Type: application/xml
    QUICKBASE-ACTION: API_Authenticate
    <qdbapi>
    <username>MyUserName</username>
    <password>MyPassword</password>
    <hours>24</hours>
    </qdbapi>";

    //Initialize handle and set options

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://mydomain.quickbase.com/db/main');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 4);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request_xml);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Connection: close'));

    //Execute the request
    $result = curl_exec($ch);

    //Check for errors
    if ( curl_errno($ch) ) {
    $result = 'ERROR -> ' . curl_errno($ch) . ': ' . curl_error($ch);
    } else {
    $returnCode = (int)curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    switch($returnCode){
    case 200:
    break;
    default:
    $result = 'HTTP ERROR -> ' . $returnCode;
    break;
    }
    }

    //Close the handle
    curl_close($ch);

    //Output the results
    echo $result;
    echo "<br>";
    echo "ticket = " . $response->ticket;
    ?>

    </body>
    </html>
