But when you upload it to remote server show"bool(false)" error

I want you to help me check my code

my code

function getUserIP() {
    if( array_key_exists('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR', $_SERVER) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']) ) {
        if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'], ',')>0) {
            $addr = explode(",",$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']);
            return trim($addr[0]);
        } else {
            return $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
        }
    }
    else {
        return $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }
}
$ip = getUserIP() ;

$data = 'done=true&submit=Download+Now';
$headers = array(
    $data,
    'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'Referer: http://thgss.com/index.php?p=download2',
    'X-Forwarded-For: '. $ip
);

$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL,'http://thgss.com/index.php?p=download3');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$response = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
var_dump($response);

help me get location url from reply header

You need to get info from your Curl request, and get the header from there.

Here is your code:

$ip = getUserIP() ;

$data = 'done=true&submit=Download+Now';
$headers = array(
    $data,
    'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
    'Referer: http://thgss.com/index.php?p=download2',
    'X-Forwarded-For: '. $ip
);

$curl_handle=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_URL,'http://thgss.com/index.php?p=download3');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/70.0.3538.102 Safari/537.36');
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$response = curl_exec($curl_handle);
curl_close($curl_handle);
var_dump($response);

Before your curl_close, add the following:

$curl_info = curl_getinfo($curl_handle);

You can then use preg_match to find your location header:

$headers = substr($response, 0, $curl_info["header_size"]);
preg_match('#Location: (.*)#', $headers, $location);

You should then find your Location header in $location, probably $location[1].

On a side note, is that the user's Username and Password you're sending in the header?

Edit:

Since the original question has been changed since I answered this, I am now editing my answer.

To help you debug any errors with the actual curl request, before curl_close you can add:

$errs = curl_error($curl_handle);

$errs will now provide you with any reasons the curl request may be failing. An example error is:

"Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with known CA certificates"

You can read more in the docs: http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-error.php

Edit 2:

After you said you have a timeout issue,I now notice that you have used 2 seconds: curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 2);...

Try increasing your timeout:

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30); 
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);

You can also use 0 which is to wait indefinitely.

You have edited your question, and you are no longer asking "help me get location url from reply header" which is what I answered. Anyway, If it works locally and not on your remote server, there's probably something different in your php configs. Have you tried using echo phpinfo(); to compare?

Jonathan Over a year ago

I've edited my answer to help you, try using $errs = curl_error($curl_handle); to get any errors from curl.

im sorry But it was running on the remote server and is no longer working and will not be anything else. The code was working without problems
