PHP XML-XML curl function not working. Please help
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to get the following php script to work with an ebay API. It sends XML and then returns XML and formats it into links. THing is it doesn;t work, and I'm not sure why. Can anyone see where I'm going wrong? Thank you in advance, Raj <?php $query = 'ipod'; $endpoint = 'http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?'; $resp = simplexml_load_string(constructPostCallAndGetRespo nse($endpoint, $query)); if ($resp) { $results = ''; foreach($resp->Item as $item) { $link = $item->ViewItemURLForNaturalSearch; $title = $item->Title; $results .= "<a href=\"$link\">$title</a><br/>"; } } else { $results = "Oops! Must not have gotten the response!"; } ?> <!-- Build the HTML page with values from the call response --> <html> <head> <title> eBay Search Results for <?php echo $query; ?> </title> </head> <body> <h1>eBay Search Results for <?php echo $query; ?></h1> <?php echo $results;?> </body> </html> <?php function constructPostCallAndGetResponse($endpoint, $query) { $xmlRequest = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>"; $xmlRequest .= "<FindItemsAdvancedRequest xmlns=\"urn:ebay:apis:eBLBaseComponents\">"; $xmlRequest .= "<QueryKeywords>"; $xmlRequest .= $query; $xmlRequest .= "</QueryKeywords></FindItemsAdvancedRequest>"; $session = curl_init($endpoint); // create a curl session curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POST, true); // POST request type curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xmlRequest); // set the body of the POST curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // return values as a string - not to std out $headers = array( 'X-EBAY-API-CALL-NAME: FindItemsAdvanced', 'X-EBAY-API-SITEID: 0', // Site 0 is for US 'X-EBAY-API-APP-ID: My ID Goes Here. Removed for security', 'X-EBAY-API-VERSION: 559', "X-EBAY-API-REQUEST-ENCODING: XML", 'Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8', ); curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers); //set headers using the above array of headers $responseXML = curl_exec($session); // send the request curl_close($session); return $responseXML; // returns a string } // function ?>

If you would care to give us more information about precisely in what way "it doesn't work", such as what actually happens when you try it, we will try to give more refined suggestions. Garbage in - garbage out.

Can anyone see where I'm going wrong? When I run the code you paste, the eBay server replies: Application ID invalid > 'X-EBAY-API-APP-ID: My ID Goes Here. Removed for security', Ah, yep, this must be the reason. My guess is that you have some silly typo in your code but since your XML parser routines cannot handle error responses you don't even see the error message. Just try this to see raw XML: echo constructPostCallAndGetResponse($endpoint, $query); Next time try to change "does not work" with something more informative like "I see no error messages but the response is empty". -- -- http://alvaro.es - Álvaro G.
