PHP variables with COM Object

[Izebize]

How can I pass PHP variables with COM Object?

In the Help file there is a simple http com object example. Something like this:

$oHTTP = ObjCreate("winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1")
$oHTTP.Open("GET","http://localhost/userlist.php?userid=3")
$oHTTP.Send()

Here's the userlist.php source:

<?php
$page = $_GET['userid'];
$log = fopen("users.txt", "a");
fwrite($log, $page ."\n");
fclose($log);
?>

If I open in a browser the url, it will save "3" into users.txt, but if I use the COM Object method, it won't write "3" into users.txt.

I tried $oHTTP.Open with "PUT", and "POST" too, without success.

What's wrong?

Is it possible that the object is using a cached page?

[Izebize]

I don't think so.

No, I tried with a different php filename, but it doesn't work.

So in a way you want to send data without showing a window?

[Richard Robertson]

So is the PHP file adding a blank line when you call it from the AutoIt script?

[Izebize]

Yes, I want to send data without showing a window, with php.

No, the php, doesn't add blank line.

I had same problem but I didn't find any solution with winhttprequest. But maybe it will work when you will add to http header:

Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

You can also try this :

#include <INet.au3>
$users= _INetGetSource("http://localhost/userlist.php?userid=3")

_INetGetSource doesn't work.

How can I add header?

[Richard Robertson]

If the PHP isn't adding a blank line (since it is reading a blank user is what you thought), that means that your script isn't even reaching the PHP host.

Do you have AutoIt allowed by your firewall?

[Izebize]

It's within local area, and I don't have firewall for it. I use firewall only for WAN. I'm sure it can reach the php.

I will check the sended packets with Wireshark and after I compared I'll post the differences.

[Richard Robertson]

Firewalls block local traffic too. Make sure it's cleared.
