Save Curl Display Output String in Variable PHP

Save cURL Display Output String in Variable PHP

You need to set CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option to true.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

How to store curl response in a variable in PHP?

As described in the documentation ...

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. However, if the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option is set, it will return the result on success, FALSE on failure.

So your code has to look like this

$result = curl_exec($ch);

// as you mentioned the response is a json string (screenshot)
$decoded_result = json_decode($result);

// output it on the screen
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($result);
echo "</pre>";

// insert into database (in case $result is an array)
$sql = "INSERT INTO table (column1, column2) VALUES (:result1, :result2)";

$pdo = new \PDO(...);
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute([
    ':result1' => $result['bla'],
    ':result2' => $result['blubb'],
]);

That should be all you have to do.

Saving a curl response into a php variable

You can do like this

<?php  
//URL of targeted site  
$url = "http://www.yahoo.com/";  
$ch = curl_init();  

// set URL and other appropriate options  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  

// grab URL and pass it to the browser  

$output = curl_exec($ch);  

//echo $output;

// close curl resource, and free up system resources  
curl_close($ch);  
?>  

The $output variable contains the response.

capturing curl stdout into variable in PHP

This fixed it by redirecting stdout output: 2>&1

So this works:
$result = shell_exec('curl -v http://domain.com/images/dir/dir/dir/file.jpg --user username:password -o /usr/www/htdocs/images/dir/dir/dir/file.jpg 2>&1');

It would be great to be able to use the PHP curl wrappers but not if it means opening a stub file on the source machine and then writing to it. The curl command line version just moves over the file, nice and neat. If anyone knows how to do what I'm trying to do using PHP wrappers, I'd love to see how you do it.

Get particular variable from curl response string

preg_match is your friend:

<?
$result = "Accepted=AVSAUTH:TEST:::829649376:N::U
ENTRYMETHOD=KEYED
historyid=829649376
MERCHANTORDERNUMBER=14700000186
orderid=646526156
PAYTYPE=MasterCard
recurid=0
refcode=829649376-TEST
result=1
Status=Accepted
transid=0";

preg_match_all("/^([^=]+)=(.*)$/m", $result, $regs, PREG_SET_ORDER);

$data = [];
foreach($regs as $reg) {
    $data[$reg[1]] = $reg[2];
}

print_r($data);
?>

$data will be an hash Array:

Array
(
    [Accepted] => AVSAUTH:TEST:::829649376:N::U
    [ENTRYMETHOD] => KEYED
    [historyid] => 829649376
    [MERCHANTORDERNUMBER] => 14700000186
    [orderid] => 646526156
    [PAYTYPE] => MasterCard
    [recurid] => 0
    [refcode] => 829649376-TEST
    [result] => 1
    [Status] => Accepted
    [transid] => 0
)

PHP, cURL, strpos - Compare substring from text file line by line with string from variable

Try $linex = rtrim($linex, "\r\n"); prior to the comparison to handle extra line-ending characters which are likely in your file.

Return php variable from CURL post

The problem is with curl request, please add below code for value in $result.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

after that :

$data = json_decode($result);

$id =  $data->company->id;

echo $id;

Let me know in case any problem .

cURL code in PHP dumps output to the page

Use this option to curl_setopt():

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

This will make curl_exec return the data instead of outputting it.

To see if it was successful you can then check $result and also curl_error().

Saving a curl response into database

try this

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$var = curl_exec($ch)

Hope this works!

to get the id

$var = json_decode($var);
$id = $var[0]->id;
