PHP function to connect to pingomatic using cURL

Question

I'm creating a PHP function to connect to pingomatic using CURL but the response is always.

Array ( [EXE] => XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only. )

here is my sample code...

function curl_getpage2($url,$data, $referer = null, $agent = null, $header = null, $timeout = 20, $proxy = null, $proxy_username = null, $proxy_password = null) {
 //getProxy();
 if ($agent == null) {
     $agent = getAgent();
 }

 if ($referer == null) {
     $referer = getHost($url);
 }
 if (!is_array($header)) { 
  $header = array("Content-Type:text/xml","Host:".getHost($url),"User-Agent:$agent",
   "Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8",
   "Accept-Language:en-us,en;q=0.5",
   "Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate",
   "Accept-Charset:ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7",
   "Keep-Alive:300",
   "Connection:keep-alive",
   "Cache-Control:max-age=0",
   "Content-length: ".strlen($XML));
 }

 if($proxy == null){
     $proxy = "208.100.27.155:60099";
 }

 if($proxy_username == null && $proxy_password == null){
     $proxyUnPW = "unproxy:pwproxy";
 }else{
     $proxyUnPW = $proxy_username.":".$proxy_password;
 }

 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$header);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD,$proxyUnPW);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);

        //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
        //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER,TRUE);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, '/tmp/cookies.txt');
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);       
 //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);

        $result['EXE'] = curl_exec($ch);
        //$result['INF'] = curl_getinfo($ch);
        //$result['ERR'] = curl_error($ch);

        curl_close($ch);

        return $result;
}

I need some help here. I'm just somewhat new to PHP.

What is your question? What about your sample code doesn't work as you want? — Pekka, Sep 09 '10 at 08:00
Can you also show the code which CALLS this function with the contents of `$data` and other variables. — shamittomar, Sep 09 '10 at 08:02
What it's in `$XML` meybe insted of `strlen($XML))` put `strlen($data))`. Meybe you should remove `Content-length` from a header. — jcubic, Sep 09 '10 at 12:03

You can submit your site once via the web form and then call a GET request for that url (see question How to ping automatically to pingomatic in PHP?).

So your URL would be something like the following if you want to ping all services (title and url encoded with urlencode()):

$url = 'http://pingomatic.com/ping/?title='.$title.'&blogurl='.$url.'&rssurl=&chk_weblogscom=on&chk_blogs=on&chk_feedburner=on&chk_newsgator=on&chk_myyahoo=on&chk_pubsubcom=on&chk_blogdigger=on&chk_weblogalot=on&chk_newsisfree=on&chk_topicexchange=on&chk_google=on&chk_tailrank=on&chk_skygrid=on&chk_collecta=on&chk_superfeedr=on');

eg:

http://pingomatic.com/ping/?title=Example%20Title&blogurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2F&rssurl=&chk_weblogscom=on&chk_blogs=on&chk_feedburner=on&chk_newsgator=on&chk_myyahoo=on&chk_pubsubcom=on&chk_blogdigger=on&chk_weblogalot=on&chk_newsisfree=on&chk_topicexchange=on&chk_google=on&chk_tailrank=on&chk_skygrid=on&chk_collecta=on&chk_superfeedr=on
