i am making a POST request using curl and PHP, sending a username/password array as a JSON object.
so far all is working wonderfully. now i wanted to read the headers so i can parse the cookie. i know i can use a file/jar and have tested that - works well. i want to not write a thing to disk.
so i flagged CURLOPT_HEADER as TRUE and i can parse the cookie value.
HOWEVER - the returned data is gone. totally gone... when i flag _HEADER FALSE - i see the response.
the code:
$login_array = array('login' => array('username' => $username, 'password' => $password));
$login_json = json_encode($login_array);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE); <-- this line f***s it all up...
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $login_json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://localhost/test/token');
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if ($http_code != 200) { /* do something */ }
preg_match_all('|Set-Cookie: (.*);|U', $result, $content);
$cookies = implode(';', $content[1]);
echo "cookie: $cookies<br>"; <-- thanks _HEADER for the cookie value
$response = json_decode($result);
$user_id = $response->user->id;
echo 'user_id: ' . $user_id . '<br>'; <-- empty man... headers are on means body is off...
i've been digging through different posts and it seems the order of the opts makes a difference. tried moving them about - no luck.
thoughts?!
