Curl Response to php object

Question

I making this curl request:

    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "affiliate-feeds.snapdeal.com/feed/api/order?startDate=2016-01-01&endDate=2016-05-03&status=approved");
    curl_setopt(
            $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
            array(
                    'Snapdeal-Affiliate-Id:'.$affiliateId,
                    'Snapdeal-Token-Id:'.$token,
                    'Accept:application/json'
            )
    );
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    // work with $response here:

     $jsonData = json_decode($response);
     Mage::log( $jsonData["productDetails"][0]["product"]);

The response is this:

{"productDetails":[{"product":"Philips QT4000 Trimmer Black","category":"Appliances","orderCode":"12569696012","quantity":1,"price":936.0,"sale":936.0,"commissionRate":1.0,"commissionEarned":9.36,"dateTime":"03/29/2016 22:49:06","affiliateSubId1":"","affiliateSubId2":"null","userType":"EXISTING","deviceType":"web"}],"nextURL":null}

The log statement prints nothing. What I am doing wrong here?

VISIT this, use json_decode($response,true) it will return a associative array... — Manjeet Barnala

Use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); in your curl and pass true with json_decode()....

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "affiliate-feeds.snapdeal.com/feed/api/order?startDate=2016-01-01&endDate=2016-05-03&status=approved");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt(
            $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
            array(
                    'Snapdeal-Affiliate-Id:'.$affiliateId,
                    'Snapdeal-Token-Id:'.$token,
                    'Accept:application/json'
            )
    );
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    // work with $response here:
    $jsonData = json_decode($response,true);
     Mage::log($jsonData['productDetails'][0]['product']);

This will output :

Philips QT4000 Trimmer Black

I made that change: Here it is: $response = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); // work with $response here: $jsonData = json_decode($response,true); Mage::log( $jsonData["productDetails"][0]["product"],null,"mylogfile1.log",true); still prints nothing

Manjeet Barnala Over a year ago

use $array['productDetails'][0]['product'] instead of $jsonData->productDetails[0]->product in log..

Manjeet Barnala Over a year ago

json_decode($json,true) return associative array, associative array is printed with key to value like $array['key'] not $array->key

Manjeet Barnala Over a year ago

simply use echo $jsonData['productDetails'][0]['product'] and see what is printed...

androider Over a year ago

It prints the complete json response. Shall we move to chat ?

json_decode decodes to an object by default. Do $jsonData = json_decode($response, true); if you want an associative array.

I made that change, its still giving me nothing. Can you write the full statement to be used inside log

Chris Over a year ago

@mayank You don't need to change the statement inside the call to log. I've just tested this with the JSON you provided and it works fine. Are you sure you are looking in the correct file for the log output?

androider Over a year ago

You are using the json directly, maybe thats the issue. Maybe, getting the curl response and then using json_decode on it seems to be the trouble. Maybe I have to convert the curl response to something

Mage::log( $jsonData->productDetails[0]->product);

Or use associate array as mentioned.

still doesn't prints anything

Chris Over a year ago

@mayank When you say it "doesn't prints anything" what do you mean? It is a log method so it is most likely logging to a file instead of producing output. Use echo if you want output.

androider Over a year ago

sorry for wrong wording, it logs nothing,( an empty value)

MrGapo Over a year ago

Use var_dump($jsonData->productDetails[0]->product)

Here is how you make a curl call and get the content from that website

<?php
if (!function_exists('curl_version')) {
    exit("Enable cURL in PHP");
}

$url = "https://www.google.com/";

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
    CURLOPT_URL => $url,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
    CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
    CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
    CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "GET",
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "",
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
        "Accept: */*",
        "Cache-Control: no-cache",
        "Connection: keep-alive",
        "Host: " . url($url),
        "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/73.0.3683.103 Safari/537.36",
        "accept-encoding: gzip, deflate",
        "cache-control: no-cache",
    ),
));

function url($url)
{
    $result = parse_url($url);
    return $result['host'];
}
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);

curl_close($curl);

if ($err) {
    echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
    echo "<textarea>" . $response . "</textarea>";

}
