Hello,

I would like to use httprequest POST in my project, my try this but it doesn’t recognize httprequest command !!!
I think I need to add a librairy or extensions but which one ? ?

$r = new HttpRequest(“https://xxxxxxxxxxx.com/services/service.asmx/RequestReservations?XMLstring=<request><UserName>user</UserName><Password>pass</Password><HotelId>id</HotelId></request>”, HttpRequest::METH_POST);

$result = $r->send();
echo “result :”.$result;

Thanks
Nac

What you’re trying to do is a GET, a POST is where you don’t see the variables in the URL. Which might be causing some problems.
Far as I know this is just integrated into PHP and no special libraries should be needed.

EDIT: Btw, if you’re actually trying to do a GET, the same code should work just replace METH_POST with METH_GET

Google is your friendly neigbourhood search engine

In addition: one other option to ‘call’ an url is the following (despite the post/get issue).

$url='https://www.mysite.com/start?rtlo='.$rtlo.'&reporturl='.$repurl; // etc.
$arr = file_get_contents($url);

Thanks for answering …

After some search and test, this is a working code using cURL for XML POST to a webservice :
