Good day

I have a PHP project and I am trying to call an API with header data. When I use it in a Webdev Project it works 100%

cMyRequest is httpRequest
cMyRequest..URL = "https://stuff.com/15537?fields=*"
cMyRequest..Header["user-key"] = "7333555822145441"
cMyResponse is httpResponse
cMyResponse = HTTPSend(cMyRequest)

vMainData is Variant
vMainData = JSONToVariant(cMyResponse.Content)


But cannot do this in PHP. Can anyone push me in the correct direction as how to get the same outcome in PHP.

Thanks

Ruan

Hi Ruan

AFAIK, not a lot of people are using the PHP mode (it's the least
powerful of the 3 dynamic modes) so I'm not sure anybody here will have
been in your exact case.

Add to that the fact that you do NOT tell us ANYTHING about the problem
you are encountering, and you are setting yourself up for a long moment
of silence.

So.... Error message? Compilation problem? Incorrect return?

Best regards

Hi Fabrice

There is no error. Webdev doesn't have this function in PHP: cMyRequest is httpRequest.
That is why I want to know what is the correct method to do this in PHP. I am building this for a client and can only do it in PHP. They don't have a webserver.

Thanks

Hi Ruan,

if they don't have a webserver, they wont be able to use php pages any
more than a webdev classic or awp site.

If you mean that they are going to use a free/cheap hosting service
accepting only php, be aware that yo can host a webdev classic or awp
site with HFCS for as little as 5€/month (kalanda.net, by example), so
that is a non problem.

and now that the question is clear, the answer is httprequest (the
function) and not httprequest, the newer variable type

Best regards
