PHP sample code returns blank

mylearningmaster1 — Fri, 27 May 2016 08:39:56 GMT

Hi Gurus, I tried using the PHP sample code and it returned a blank response. I've searched the forum and found a few people have the same issue as me but no working solution was provided. Here's the thread that closely described my problems.

Fail to forward request:Please call XMLAPI via SSL(HTTPS)

I'd appreciate it if you can help take a look into what's wrong with the code. Thanks.

Code:

-----------

<html>

<head>

<title>Create WebEx meetings via XML API</title>

</head>

<body>

<?php

// Specify WebEx site and port

$XML_SITE="[companyname].webex.com";

$XML_PORT="443";

// Build XML request document

$d["XML"] = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";

$d["XML"] .= "<serv:message xmlns:xsi=\"https://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance\"";

$d["XML"] .= "xmlns:serv=\"https://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service\"";

$d["XML"] .= "xsi:schemaLocation=\"https://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service";

$d["XML"] .= "https://www.webex.com/schemas/2002/06/service/service.xsd\">";

$d["XML"].= "<header>";

$d["XML"].= "<securityContext>";

$d["XML"].= "<webExID>[MyID]</webExID>";

$d["XML"].= "<password>[Mypassword]</password>";

$d["XML"].= "<siteName>[companyname]</siteName>";

// Set meeting starts

$d["XML"].= "<accessControl>";

$d["XML"].= "<meetingPassword>1q2w3e4r</meetingPassword>";

$d["XML"].= "</accessControl>";

$d["XML"].= "<metaData>";

$d["XML"].= "<confName>My First WebEx</confName>";

$d["XML"].= "<agenda>For testing purposes</agenda>";

$d["XML"].= " </metaData>";

$Result = postIt($d,$URL,$XML_PORT);

exit;

// to the specified WebEx XML Server and receives an XML response document

function postIt($DataStream, $URL, $Port)

{

// Strip http:// from the URL if present

$URL = ereg_replace("^https://", "", $URL);

echo $URL;

// Separate into Host and URI

$Host = substr($URL, 0, strpos($URL, "/"));

$URI = strstr($URL, "/");

// Form the request body

$reqBody = "";

while (list($key, $val) = each($DataStream)) {

if ($reqBody) $reqBody.= "&";

$reqBody.= $key."=".urlencode($val);

}

$ContentLength = strlen($reqBody);

$xml = $DataStream['XML'];

// Generate the request header

global $Debug_Mode;

Greetings! As you've noticed, the php sample code is outdated and does not work correctly. The following example (also attached) does work, and should provide you with a good idea of how to write PHP code to interact with our XML API:

<?php
        header("Content-Type: text/xml");

        $sitename = "apidemoeu";        //Sitename is the subdomain of a WebEx URL. ex: sitename for https://apidemoeu.webex.com is apidemoeu
        $username = "username";
        $password = "password";

        $XML = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>";
        $XML .="<serv:message xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">";
        $XML .="        <header>";
        $XML .="                <securityContext>";
        $XML .="                        <webExID>$username</webExID>";
        $XML .="                        <password>$password</password>";
        $XML .="                        <siteName>$sitename</siteName>";
        $XML .="                        <returnAdditionalInfo>TRUE</returnAdditionalInfo>";
        $XML .="                </securityContext>";
        $XML .="        </header>";
        $XML .="        <body>";
        $XML .="                <bodyContent xsi:type=\"java:com.webex.service.binding.site.GetSite\">";
        $XML .="                </bodyContent>";
        $XML .="        </body>";
        $XML .="</serv:message>";

        $request = stream_context_create(array("http"=>array("method"=>"POST","header"=>"Content-Type:text/xml","content"=>$XML)));

        $response = file_get_contents("https://$sitename.webex.com/WBXService/XMLService", false, $request);

        echo $response;
?>
