Hi all.

I am trying to set up a TGP feed on an affiliate site that I am setting up.

I have used the following bit of code on the test server at home which works fine:

<? @readfile("http://www.theirdomain.com/?account=xxxxxx&optr=2&def=su&tour=best
&sites=2716|1&lang=us&revm=ppsst&tgpst=thmb&gtype=p_m&sort=last&nc=1&nr=1&t=_blank&cs=4&cttxt=0
&tsize=88x88&codemode=php") ?>

However, when I upload the code to the host account, it does not work. On contacting my host, I was advised that the statement will have to be wraped in CURL.

Looking through a couple of tutorials, I have tried using

<?
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, http://www.theirdomain.com/?account=xxxxxx&optr=2&def=su&tour=best
&sites=2716|1&lang=us&revm=ppsst&tgpst=thmb&gtype=p_m&sort=last&nc=1&nr=1&t=_blank&cs=4&cttxt=0
&tsize=88x88&codemode=php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$data = curl_exec();
curl_close($ch);
?>

PS. I added the line breaks in the url's so it will not run off the page.

This is returning an error stating curl_exec() is not valid.

Can someone help me with this bit of code,or point me to a tutorial that will help me understand CURL better.

Just one other thing. It appears from what I have read that the CURL statement must be used everytime that the url changes. Is there any way that a CURL statement can be used to include a number of different url's.

Thanks all.

Deep.

You're missing a ' at the beginning of the URL, and curl_exec() takes a parameter ($ch in your case.)

[deepdiver01]

Thanks for the quick reply Brendon.

The missing ' is in the code on the page. I missed it when pasting. My bad.

So, as the code stands, it still does not work. Still getting the error.

I haven't given the variable $data anything to do. All I am trying to run is what you see here.

What am I missing.

Sorry for the silly questions. This is my first try at CURL.

[brendandonhu]

Did you add the parameter $ch to curl_exec()?

[deepdiver01]

I think so.

Now have $data = curl_exec($ch);

Hope that's right. I no longer get the error. It just doesn't do anything. Will try it on the live site.

[brendandonhu]

Sounds like it's probably working. You have to do echo $data; if you want it to display the results.

[deepdiver01]

Thanks Brendon.

That's perfect. Should have known to echo $data. Brain not in gear.

What I did change was to delete

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

as it was returning the sending servers' details. All else aok.

Thanks again.

Deep.
