Question

I am failing to post using curl in php to the url: http://example.com/sms/sms.aspx

The post string should be in the pattern:example.com/sms/sms.aspx?uid=9746674889&pwd=passwod&phone=9746674889&msg=hjgyjgKJKJK&provider=way2sms&send=SEND

If it is posted the output will Be 1 else -1

Can anyone help me in the curl part

<?php


//extract data from the post
  // extract($_GET);

           $uid = $_GET['uid'];
           $phone = $_GET['phone'];
           $pwd = $_GET['pwd'];
           $msg = $_GET['msg'];
           $provider = 'way2sms';


//set POST variables



$fields = array(
                            'uid'=>rawurlencode($uid),
                            'phone'=>rawurlencode($phone),
                            'pwd'=>rawurlencode($pwd),
                            'msg'=>rawurlencode($msg),
                            'provider'=>rawurlencode($provider)
                );

//url-ify the data for the POST
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string,'&');

///curl part(please help)

?>

Here is a basic cURL POST script. It has no error handling – you should definitely read the cURL manual.

<?php

  // Destination URL
  $url = 'http://ubaid.tk/sms/sms.aspx';

  // Raw data to send
  $fields = array(
   'uid' => $_GET['uid'],
   'phone'=>$_GET['phone'],
   'pwd'=>$_GET['pwd'],
   'msg'=>$_GET['msg'],
   'provider'=>'way2sms'
  );

  // Build $fields into an encoded string
  $body = http_build_query($fields);

  // Initialise cURL
  $ch = curl_init($url);

  // Set options (post request, return body from exec)
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

  // Do the request
  $result = curl_exec($ch);

  // Echo the result
  echo $result;

EDIT

Since what you actually want is GET and not POST, the code gets a lot simpler:

<?php

  // Destination URL
  $url = 'http://ubaid.tk/sms/sms.aspx';

  // Raw data to send
  $fields = array(
   'uid' => $_GET['uid'],
   'phone'=>$_GET['phone'],
   'pwd'=>$_GET['pwd'],
   'msg'=>$_GET['msg'],
   'provider'=>'way2sms'
  );

  // Build $fields into an encoded string and append to URL
  $url .= '?'.http_build_query($fields);

  // Initialise cURL
  $ch = curl_init($url);

  // Set options (post request, return body from exec)
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

  // Do the request
  $result = curl_exec($ch);

  // Echo the result
  echo $result;

…or this whole thing could be done without cURL as:

<?php

  // Destination URL
  $url = 'http://ubaid.tk/sms/sms.aspx';

  // Raw data to send
  $fields = array(
   'uid' => $_GET['uid'],
   'phone'=>$_GET['phone'],
   'pwd'=>$_GET['pwd'],
   'msg'=>$_GET['msg'],
   'provider'=>'way2sms'
  );

  // Build $fields into an encoded string and append to URL
  $url .= '?'.http_build_query($fields);

  // Do the request
  $result = file_get_contents($url);

  // Echo the result
  echo $result;
