I need to send API request using get variables via HTTP requests using PHP
Question
I need to send API request using get variables via HTTP requests using PHP.
Format is some thing like:
https:"www.thirdpartyurl.com"/Request.ashx?command=_&username= _&password=______&customer=__&customerpassword=___
Where 1. command = create customer
username = my username
password = my account password
customer=customer user name(which he fills in the form)
Customer password = customer password(as filed in the form)
Please have a look below for my HTML file :
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Sample request</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="operations.php" method="post">
<p>userid
<input id='textbox1' type="text" name="custuname" value="" placeholder="Enter User name">
</p>
<p>password
<input id='textbox1' type="text" name="custpwd" value="" placeholder="Enter User name">
</p>
<input type="submit" name="Create Account" id="create_account" value="Create">
</form>
</body>
</html>
My php file is :
<?php
$baseurl = "www.thirdpartyurl.com";
$username = "xxxxx";
$pw = "xxxx";
$customer = "$_POST(custuname)";
$customerpw = "$_POST(custpwd);
&tariffrate=4;
$params = array("command"=>"createcustomer", "username"=>$username, "password"=>$pw,
"customer"=>$customer,"customerpassword"=>$customerpw,"tariffrate"=>&tariffrate);
$link = $baseurl . '?' . http_build_query($params);
?>
When clicked on submit button instead of creating account it is showing me above PHP code in the browser. Kindly help me on this.

Should be
$customer = $_POST['custuname'];
$customerpw = $_POST['custpwd'];
instead of
$customer = "$_POST(custuname)";
$customerpw = "$_POST(custpwd); //<----quotes not closed

Can you try this, &tariffrate=4; should be $tariffrate=4; Added curl to send api request
HTML:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Sample request</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="operations.php" method="post">
<p>userid
<input id='textbox1' type="text" name="custuname" value="" placeholder="Enter User name">
</p>
<p>password
<input id='textbox1' type="text" name="custpwd" value="" placeholder="Enter User name">
</p>
<input type="submit" name="CreateAccount" id="create_account" value="Create">
</form>
</body>
</html>
PHP :
if(isset($_POST['CreateAccount'])){
$baseurl = "www.thirdpartyurl.com";
$username = "xxxxx";
$pw = "xxxx";
$customer = $_POST['custuname'];
$customerpw = $_POST['custpwd'];
$tariffrate=4;
$params = array("command"=>"createcustomer", "username"=>$username, "password"=>$pw,
"customer"=>$customer,"customerpassword"=>$customerpw,"tariffrate"=>$tariffrate);
$link = $baseurl . '?' . http_build_query($params);
$ch = curl_init();
// Set query data here with the URL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $link);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, '3');
$content = trim(curl_exec($ch));
curl_close($ch);
print $content;
}
?>

First check whether you have hosted your php file on a server or not because it must give you an error if the script is incorrect instead of showing the same written script. that indicates that you have not hosted your php file on a server like wamp, xammp or a tom cat etc.
