[RESOLVED] cURL POST Returns False

[jeepin81]

I am writing a program that uses cURL to access an UPS API. The problem I am running into is that I keep getting return of bool(false) doing a var_dump on curl_exec();

Can you see if I am passing the information correctly using POST?

I've done a few other API's w/ UPS but this is the first time I've tried using POST w/ TLS1.2. For TLS1.2 I have the CURL_SSLVERSION, 6.

I appreciate any insight. Thanks.

foreach($postFields as $a=>$b){
	$fieldString .= $a . '=' . $b . '&';

$fieldString = rtrim($fieldString, '&');

I added curl_errno(); & curl_error(); and got the following error:

60
SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Looking into that I added

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "path/to/cacert.pem");

And it appears I am getting through to UPS but hitting some other type of error w/ my data structure.

Will mark this resolved. Thanks.

I can never remember if/when you need to urlencode() values being added to the cURL POST data, in case that has anything to do with your remaining issues. 🙂

[jeepin81]

Thanks for the reply... I tried urlencoding and got the same error response.

Has anyone tried Guzzle? Found it doing a search but never heard of it before.

[NogDog]

I know some Ruby/Rails devs who use Guzzle a lot, but I've never used it myself.

[jeepin81]

I am going to leave this out here for anyone else using PHP trying to interact w/ UPS's Electronic Manifesting's Package Level Details using TLS1.2. Or simply UPS PLD using PHP cURL.

Might save others some time.

NogDog... thanks for the replies.
