Fetching xml with curl on https

Question

So I made a login to site like this:

    $ch = curl_init('https://emea2cps.adobeconnect.com/api/xml?action=login&login=username&password=password');
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
    curl_exec($ch);
    $info= curl_getinfo($ch);
    echo 'passed' . $info['total_time'] . ' secconds ' . $info['url'] . '------ and http-code'. $info['http_code'];
    print curl_error($ch);

After I want to fetch XML of my meetings by this link https://meet77842937.adobeconnect.com/api/xml?action=report-my-meetings

I tried the following code:

$ch1 = curl_init('https://meet77842937.adobeconnect.com/api/xml?action=report-my-meetings');
    curl_setopt($ch1,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4);
    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION,3);
    curl_setopt($ch1,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,TRUE);
    $data = curl_exec($ch1);
    $info1= curl_getinfo($ch1);
    echo 'passed' . $info1['total_time'] . ' secconds ' . $info1['url'] . '------ and http-code'. $info1['http_code'];
    print curl_error($ch1);
    curl_close($ch1);
            curl_close($ch);
    $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($data);
    print_r($xml);

What can you advise me?

Note: i can see xml when i input this link on browser

Structure:

<results>
    <status code="ok"></status>
    <my-meetings>
    <meeting sco-id="1282590819" type="meeting" icon="meeting" permission-id="host" active-participants="0">
    <meeting sco-id="1282620938" type="meeting" icon="meeting" permission-id="host" active-participants="0">
  </my-meetings>

 </results>

Output: like this for ex:

Try adding this:

curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);

Also:

$data = curl_exec($ch1); // after this line
var_dump(htmlentities($data)); // add this one

to see what's the output. It'll give you a starting point to debug.

UPDATE

Add:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, __DIR__.'/cookies');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, __DIR__.'/cookies');
// repeat this for all $ch, $ch1, $ch2 and such where you need auth cookie available

to store the login information and reuse it in other requests. Your error shows your second request goes unauthenticated. So I assume first one sets a cookie for login unless you need to carry over a variable returned by the first login sequence.

AND remove the \ in password\. Your password has an extra character that should not be there!

Working code:

// Login.
$ch = curl_init('https://emea2cps.adobeconnect.com/api/xml?action=login&login=username&password=password');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, __DIR__.'/cookies');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, __DIR__.'/cookies');
$data = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump($data);
curl_close($ch);

// Query.
$ch = curl_init('https://meet77842937.adobeconnect.com/api/xml?action=report-my-meetings');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, __DIR__.'/cookies');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, __DIR__.'/cookies');
$data = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump($data);
curl_close($ch);

Read it. It's clear enough.

**string ' ' (length=104)** this message is given for **var_dump**, but I made successful login to account in first part of code — nurgasemetey, Feb 25 '14 at 15:59
You are not logged in. If the login works with cookies, you need a `CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE` to store the login data. — CodeAngry, Feb 25 '14 at 16:01
so I stored the cookie to some file, how to use it after fetch xml? — nurgasemetey, Feb 25 '14 at 16:05
Updated the answer. Read it and tell me if you have other questions. To reuse them you need to do the `curl_setopt($, COOKIE_*)` on each handle where you need them. — CodeAngry, Feb 25 '14 at 16:06
@nurgasemetey I also removed your username and password from code and your question. — CodeAngry, Feb 25 '14 at 16:11
