How to access the return array of API:Get Clients Products

[nuwaninfo]

Hi,

 

I am using getclientsproducts to get the product details of a user. The user has

2 products. So it returns an array with that details of that 2 products. How can i access these details using PHP. I tried to use PHP DOM XML, but it reades only XML data.

 

$url = "url"; # URL to WHMCS API file

$whmcsadminusername= "username"; # Admin username goes here

$whmcsadminpassword= "password"; # Admin password goes here

 

$postfields["username"] = $whmcsadminusername;

$postfields["password"] = md5($whmcsadminpassword);

 

$postfields["action"] = "getclientsproducts";

$postfields["clientid"] = "290";

 

 

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

 

/* $ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);*/

 

$data = explode(";",$data);

foreach ($data AS $temp) {

$temp = explode("=",$temp);

$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];

}

//print_r($data);

echo '<pre>' . print_r($results, true) . '</pre><br /><br />';

 

And here is the link to the site.

The first problem you've got is that you're treating the result as though it were an array. The API is returning XML with this function - not an array as with some of the other functions.

 

Don't bother exploding the resulting $data - just get PHP to parse the XML for you ...

 

$reader = new XMLReader();

$reader->XML($data);

while ($reader->read()){

echo $reader->name;

if ($reader->hasValue) {

echo ": " . $reader->value;

}

}

$reader->close();

 

 

There is a good article here which talks about how to use the XML parser.

AFAIK it can be put into an array. I have used the api with the following to put the response into an array:

$url = "https://whmcsinstall.com/includes/api.php";

$username = $adminusername;

$password = $adminpassword;

$postfields["username"] = $username;

$postfields["password"] = $password;

$postfields["action"] = "getclientsdata";

$postfields["clientid"] = $clientid;

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 100);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);

$data = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

$data = explode(";", $data);

foreach ($data as $temp)

{

$temp = explode("=", $temp);

$results[$temp[0]] = $temp[1];

}

if ($results["result"] == "success")

{

$firstname = $results["firstname"];

$lastname = $results["lastname"];

$companyname = $results["companyname"];

$email = $results["email"];

$address1 = $results["address1"];

$address2 = $results["address2"];

$city = $results["city"];

$state = $results["state"];

$postcode = $results["postcode"];

$phonenumber = $results["phonenumber"];

}

else

{

die("An error occured. Please contact support. ({$results['message']})");

}
