Hey guys. So here is my dilemma. I am using cURL to get xml data from a website for validation reasons. As soon as they hit the submit button on my form, it runs the function isValidThing(). My problem is that when I invoke the isValidThing in my controller...it ALWAYS returns false even if I know it should return true. Here is the code:
Model Code: <?php uses('Xml'); /** * Valid Checker: Is Valid Thing * */ class Thing extends AppModel { var $name = 'Thing'; var $useTable = 'things'; var $validate = array( 'thing' => array( 'rule' => array('isValidThing'), 'message' => 'The credentials you supplied are not valid! Please try again' ) ); function isValidThing() { $url = "http://www.website.com/sheet.xml?r= ".$this->data[$this->name]['value1']."&n=".$this->data[$this->name]['value2']; $agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008120122 Firefox/3.0.5"; $curl_thing = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl_thing, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($curl_thing, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_setopt($curl_thing, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($curl_thing, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent); $curl_result = curl_exec($curl_thing); curl_close($curl_thing); $responseCharacter = new Xml(); $responseCharacter->load($curl_result); $valid = set::check($responseCharacter, 'thingInfo.thing'); return $valid; } } ?> Controller Code: <?php class ThingsController extends AppController { var $name = 'Things'; var $uses = array('Thing'); var $helpers = array('Form', 'Html'); var $scaffold; function add() { if (!empty($this->data)) { $this->Thing->set($this->data); if ($this->Thing->isValidCharacter() == true) { $this->Session->setFlash($this->data['Thing']['forminput'].' Added', 'default', array('class'=>'good')); } else { $this->Session->setFlash('Please correct the errors below', 'default', array('class'=>'bad')); } } } } ?> My thoughts are either I am not able to make an XML object or the CURL is not connecting to the website. Any advice? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
