Im working on getting a webpage where users input a text in a form and click submit. From there it validates the input and sends it to a php function that uses JAXL 3.0 library to send the message to my XMPP server.
My problem is that when I call the JAXL function nothing just happens. it's like it can't finish the function as the next function never gets it's call. if I swap the order around the other functions gets called but it still doesn't finish the sendmessage() function.
I'm rusty/new in php and I can't get JAXL to provide a log or anything to debug where my issue is.
If anyone know how to debug this php/JAXL function properly it would be a large help.
I've searched the web around and looked at examples for JAXL but can't find my issue :/
EDIT: Tried some debugging with ECHO. I can't get a ECHO out if it's posted below my Create client. If I ECHO right above it works.
My Sendmessage function:
function sendping()
{
//get the form elements and store them in variables
$ping_text=$_POST["pingtext"];
// Config Details
$host = 'example.com';
$user = 'host';
$pass = 'password';
// Create Client
$client = new JAXL(array(
'log_path' => '/var/log/jaxl.log',
'jid' => $user.'@'.$host,
'pass' => $pass,
'log_level' => JAXL_INFO,
'auth_type' => 'PLAIN'
));
// Add Callbacks
$client->add_cb('on_auth_success', function() use ($host, $client, $ping_text) {
$client->send_chat_msg($host.'/announce/online', $ping_text);
$client->send_end_stream();
});
$client->add_cb('on_auth_failure', function($reason) use ($client)
{
$client->send_end_stream();
_info("got on_auth_failure cb with reason: $reason");
});
$client->add_cb('on_disconnect', function() use ($client)
{
_info("got on_disconnect cb");
});
// Startup Client
$client->start();
My hole .php page:
