Converting ASP to PHP

[Greg1680]

Tried to conver the following ASP to PHP:

<%
If Request("btnSubmit") = "Submit" Then
strPPID = Request.Form("txtPPID")
strCID = Request.Form("txtCompany")
strUID = Request.Form("txtUserID")
strPWD = Request.Form("txtPassword")

Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

objHTTP.setTimeouts 0, 60000, 300000, 3600000
objHTTP.Open "POST", "https://www.website.com/GetSessionID.asp", False
objHTTP.setRequestHeader "content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
objHTTP.send "PPID=" & strPPID & "&CID=" & strCID & "&UID=" & strUID & "&PWD=" & strPWD

strSessionID = objHTTP.responseText

Set objHTTP = Nothing

If Len(strSessionID) > 0 then
%>
<%
Else
%>
<%
End if
Else
%>
<%
End If
%>

And got:

<?
if (${"btnSubmit"}=="Submit")
{

$strPPID=$HTTP_POST_VARS["txtPPID"];
$strCID=$HTTP_POST_VARS["txtCompany"];
$strUID=$HTTP_POST_VARS["txtUserID"];
$strPWD=$HTTP_POST_VARS["txtPassword"];

// $objHTTP is of type "MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP"

$objHTTP->setTimeouts0
$objHTTP->Open"POST"//https://www.website.com/GetSessionID.asp", False
$objHTTP->setRequestHeader"content-type"//application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
$objHTTP->send"PPID=".$strPPID."&CID=".$strCID."&UID=".$strUID."&PWD=".$strPWD;

$strSessionID=$objHTTP->responseText;

$objHTTP=null;

if (strlen($strSessionID)>0)
{

?>
<?
}
else
{

?>
<?
}

}
else
{

?>
<?
}

?>

I think my syntax is not correct at the top. I used an application, as I am totally clueless when it comes to PHP.

Please advise.

Don't know ASP, or what you are trying to do, but you need ; after every command line:

$objHTTP->setTimeouts0
$objHTTP->Open"POST"//https://www.website.com/GetSessionID.asp", False
$objHTTP->setRequestHeader"content-type"//application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Those should all have an ; at the end.

This is a PHP function I use to POST data to a URL:

function httpPost($path, $host, $referer, $data)
	{
		$fp = fsockopen($host, 80);
		fputs($fp, "POST ".$path." HTTP/1.0\r\n");
		fputs($fp, "Host: ".$host."\r\n");
		fputs($fp, "Referer: ".$referer."\r\n");
		fputs($fp, "Content-type: application/x-www-url-encoded\r\n");
		fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n");
		fputs($fp, "\r\n");
		fputs($fp, $data."\r\n");
		fputs($fp, "\r\n");

	$tmp_headers = "";
	while ($str = trim(fgets($fp, 4096)))
	$tmp_headers .= $str."\n";

	$tmp_body = "";
	while (!feof($fp))
	 $tmp_body .= fgets($fp, 4096);

	fclose($fp);
	return $tmp_body;
 }

I do know ASP & I have used your method to get responses to POSTs. I did not know you could use that object within PHP on windows. How are you calling that???

Anyways, plug your data into this function (same format applies).

UPDATE! I noticed you URL is HTTPS...not sure this can be handled with fsockopen($host, 443) or not, but you're welcome to tweak the header slightly and try.
