Sorry, the CURLOPT_URL line got screwy:
curl_setopt ($curl_holder , CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.url.com/');

Subject: [nycphp-talk] can i replace curl with sockets?
To start, I'm new to the list, so hello all.
I'm working on a script that requires cURL, but I'd rather surpass the
need for cURL as it isn't usually installed by default on servers
(namely mine - but other servers I've been on hadn't had it installed
either). I realize I could try to use the command line cURL, but it's
my understanding that that can be a security issue, and I would just
like to handle it all within the script.
I want to mimic this :
------------------------------
$curl_holder = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($curl_holder , CURLOPT_URL, <https://k> '
<https://www.url.com/script/> https://www.url.com/');
curl_setopt ($curl_holder , CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($curl_holder , CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($curl_holder , CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars);
curl_setopt ($curl_holder , CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$server_response = curl_exec ($curl_holder );
curl_close ($curl_holder );
print $server_response;
I've tried this:
-----------------
$vars = 'name=mark&user=enobrev'
$header = 'POST /track HTTP/1.0' . "\\r\
";
$header .= 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' .
"\\r\
";
$header .= 'Content-length: ' . strlen($vars) . "\\r\
\\r\
";
$fp = fsockopen('www.url.com/script/', 443, $error_number,
$error_sting);
if ($fp) {
fputs($fp, $header . $vars);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$response .= fgets($fp, 128);
fclose($fp);
}
print htmlspecialchars($response);
} else {
print $error_number . ': ' . $error_sting . ' - could not connect to
' . $url);
}
And i get a whole bunch of these (which refers to the while line and the
lines within the loop):
--------------------
Warning: feof(): 2 is not a valid File-Handle resource
The Question
-------------------
Am I going the right way about this, or is there a better way? And what
exactly is that error referring to?
Thank you in advance.
