Question

I do have an html form that accepts textbox input of sha1 hashes per line:

    <textarea id="mid "name="mid" cols="40" rows="5"></textarea>

Example values are:

    9a3845cf0aac825d4e754610baa473f53636f10a
    9a3845cf0aac825d4e754610baa473f53636f10b
    9a3845cf0aac825d4e754610baa473f53636f10c

My problem is I need to take each value from the textbox “per line” and pass it to curl, my code below works only on a single entry basis:

    <?php
    $pf="pf";
    $ur="ur";
    $pw="pw";
    $url="url.com";
    extract($_POST);
    $mid=$_POST['mid'];

    $fields = array(
        'user'=>urlencode($ur),
        'pass'=>urlencode($pw),
        'pfid'=>urlencode($pf),
        'msid'=>urlencode($mid)
    );

    foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
    rtrim($fields_string,'&');

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);
    $result=curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    ?>

My expected output from the curl’ed server are the results of all those from the textbox:

    9a3845cf0aac825d4e754610baa473f53636f10a - okay
    9a3845cf0aac825d4e754610baa473f53636f10b - cancelled
    9a3845cf0aac825d4e754610baa473f53636f10c - okay

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

explode on the new line character:

$mids = explode("\n", $mid);

Then you can access each line:

foreach ($mids as $mid){
    // ... etc
