cURL problems - please help!

Hi,

I am using cURL to send XML from site A to site B. Site B the processes this data and returns XML info to site A. Site A then parses and displays this XML. I am using the following code and having problems:

<?php

// Define vars
$endpoint    =    'https://secure2.epdq.co.uk:11500/';

//Define payload
 define('XML_PAYLOAD', '<EngineDocList><DocVersion>1.0</DocVersion><EngineDoc><ContentType>OrderFormDoc</ContentType><User><Name>URAdmin</Name><Password>TT2Access</Password><ClientId DataType="S32">49868</ClientId></User><Instructions><Pipeline>Payment</Pipeline></Instructions><OrderFormDoc><Mode>P</Mode><Id>01</Id><Consumer><Email>john@urbanriver.com</Email><BillTo><Location><Address><FirstName>John</FirstName><LastName>Barker</LastName><Street1>113 Borough Road</Street1><Street2></Street2><Street3></Street3><City>Jarrow</City><StateProv>Tyne and Wear</StateProv><PostalCode>NE32</PostalCode><Country>826</Country></Address></Location></BillTo><ShipTo><Location><Address><FirstName>Jane</FirstName><LastName>Smith</LastName><Street1>22 High Street</Street1><Street2></Street2><Street3></Street3><City>Northampton</City><StateProv>Northants</StateProv><PostalCode>NN1 1NN</PostalCode><Country>826</Country></Address></Location></ShipTo><PaymentMech><CreditCard><Type DataType="S32">1</Type><Number>4921819895586270</Number><Expires DataType="ExpirationDate" Locale="826">07/12</Expires><IssueNum></IssueNum><StartDate DataType="StartDate">04/09</StartDate><Cvv2Indicator>1</Cvv2Indicator><Cvv2Val>703</Cvv2Val></CreditCard></PaymentMech></Consumer><Transaction><Type>Auth</Type><CurrentTotals><Totals><Total DataType="Money" Currency="826">1</Total></Totals></CurrentTotals><CardholderPresentCode DataType="S32">7</CardholderPresentCode><PayerSecurityLevel DataType="S32"></PayerSecurityLevel><PayerAuthenticationCode></PayerAuthenticationCode><PayerTxnId></PayerTxnId></Transaction></OrderFormDoc></EngineDoc></EngineDocList>');

// Init
$handle    =    curl_init(); 
$xml = '<EngineDocList><DocVersion>1.0</DocVersion><EngineDoc><ContentType>OrderFormDoc</ContentType><User><Name>URAdmin</Name><Password>TT2Access</Password><ClientId DataType="S32">49868</ClientId></User><Instructions><Pipeline>Payment</Pipeline></Instructions><OrderFormDoc><Mode>P</Mode><Id>01</Id><Consumer><Email>john@urbanriver.com</Email><BillTo><Location><Address><FirstName>John</FirstName><LastName>Barker</LastName><Street1>113 Borough Road</Street1><Street2></Street2><Street3></Street3><City>Jarrow</City><StateProv>Tyne and Wear</StateProv><PostalCode>NE32</PostalCode><Country>826</Country></Address></Location></BillTo><ShipTo><Location><Address><FirstName>Jane</FirstName><LastName>Smith</LastName><Street1>22 High Street</Street1><Street2></Street2><Street3></Street3><City>Northampton</City><StateProv>Northants</StateProv><PostalCode>NN1 1NN</PostalCode><Country>826</Country></Address></Location></ShipTo><PaymentMech><CreditCard><Type DataType="S32">1</Type><Number>4921819895586270</Number><Expires DataType="ExpirationDate" Locale="826">07/12</Expires><IssueNum></IssueNum><StartDate DataType="StartDate">04/09</StartDate><Cvv2Indicator>1</Cvv2Indicator><Cvv2Val>703</Cvv2Val></CreditCard></PaymentMech></Consumer><Transaction><Type>Auth</Type><CurrentTotals><Totals><Total DataType="Money" Currency="826">1</Total></Totals></CurrentTotals><CardholderPresentCode DataType="S32">7</CardholderPresentCode><PayerSecurityLevel DataType="S32"></PayerSecurityLevel><PayerAuthenticationCode></PayerAuthenticationCode><PayerTxnId></PayerTxnId></Transaction></OrderFormDoc></EngineDoc></EngineDocList>');

curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);               

// Return result (expecting XML?)
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

// The actual "payload"
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml);

$result    =    curl_exec($handle);
print "<textarea rows='10' cols='80'>";
  print htmlentities($result)."hello";
  print "</textarea>";
  //exit(); 
var_dump($result);

// You'd probabaly wana check errors too.


// Close.
curl_close($handle);

//
// Now we'll want to parse the XML that the endpoint returns (the payment processor site)
$xml_return    =    simplexml_load_string($result);

if ($xml_return->result == 'OK')
{
   echo 'system processed payment';
}
else
{
    echo $xml_return->result;
}

?>

PHP:

I get the following error:

7 couldn't connect to host

HTML:

However, when I try to use the apple website as a test, it seems to work OK. Does anybody have any idea why this is not working?

Thanks in advance.

 

Use CURLOPT_PORT instead of:

$endpoint = 'https://secure2.epdq.co.uk:11500/';


so it goes like:

$endpoint = 'https://secure2.epdq.co.uk';

and

curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_PORT , 11500);

 

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried what you suggested without success. I'm still getting the same error. Do you have any other ideas?

All suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Your host is using https.. that can be one of the reason and I see you have commented this line

//curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE);

Code (markup):

instead of this try the following to disallow SSL verification

curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
