Hey All,
I am writing some PHP to do various tasks to my ACI environment from a web GUI I am building. I am able to submit GET requests to my APIC ok with no issue, but I am not receiving any response when I do any post...even a simple login. Below is my code. The POST request works fine from Postman. Anyone have any thoughts why I am not getting any response back from those of you who have done something similar?
<?php $url = 'https://labapic1/api/aaaLogin.xml'; $data = '<aaaUser name="myloginID" pwd="myPassword" />'; $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); //Ignore cert errors... curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); $response = curl_exec($curl); //Check for errors... if(!curl_exec($curl)){ die('Error: "' . curl_error($curl) . '" - Code: ' . curl_errno($curl)); } curl_close($curl); //Print output to screen echo "<hr>"; echo "Date: ", date("Y-m-d") , "<br>"; echo "Time: ", date("h:i:sa") , "<br><br>"; echo "URL: ", $url, "<br><br>"; echo "Response: ", $response, "<br><br>"; ?>

Hello!
Maybe you have to set header options for your post. I have seen a lot examples, where a header was set. And maybe you can try it with uncomment the ssl check. I will start making tests in my lab next week.

I tested your scripts, seems to be working fine, when I look at the browser data we are receiving expected return from the APIC. for some reason it is not printing it properly though.
I am no PHP expert, my guess is may be some XML formatting issue with PHP that is is not able to print the return data.
