Curl Post method executing more than once

[satishdas]

Hi

I am using the following curl code to post into a ASPX url. When I do the execute, curl is posting and getting the result more than once. I am not sure why. Can anyone help me on this.
[php]
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
$POSTFIELDS = "UserName=test&Password=testpapi&Name=geek";

$LOGINURL= "http://localhost/fun.aspx";

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $useragent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 0);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$LOGINURL);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,1);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$POSTFIELDS);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
@extract($_REQUEST)
if($result = curl_exec($ch))
{
echo "<pre>".$result."</pre>";
curl_close($ch);
unset($ch);
exit;
}
echo $result;
?>[/php]

Especially the part about enclosing code within php or code tags.

Are you definitely certain that you do not execute your script twice?
Because the posted code looks fine, apart from the erroneous @extract($_REQUEST) statement and the non-initialized $useragent variable.. That must return an error to you.

Hi

Yes I am sure about that. It executes again and again and returns value. I am totally confused with this. Please help

In that case the only way to get on with this is to see the code of the scripts involved.

And do not forget to enclose code within php or code tags!!

• the script that calls this script

• the complete (error free) code of this script, because the code shown does not run without errors

I have the same problem in PHP.

Here's the code.

$url="http://www.somesite.com/api/integration.asp";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$store = curl_exec ($ch);
$content = curl_exec ($ch); # This returns HTML
curl_close ($ch);
 

I get a success from the page I am posting to.
It gives me the "job ID" I was expecting... but for some reason the application I am posting to actually creates two jobs.

:(

Sorry that was a debug version where I PURPOSEFULLY made multiple calls.
I was thinking that perhaps setting the execute to a variable was causing oddness.
The $store version isn't in the code.
