Hi,
i’m getting an error while creating a room
this is the error i read from my code (firebug)

file_get_contents(https://vyew.com/api/api.php?cmd=create&name=&type=vyew&owner=&key=cab449b34a&time=1254352590&md5=9248e6e37c19c6e339fb9fc99ded1fb4) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No error in D:\xampp\htdocs\proy_adminV.beta1\php\VyewAPI.php on line 981

Failed to create meeting

As you can see i get the error on line 981 (same error as i saw on a different post but was unanswered). This is the code i use

$api_key="cab449b34a";
    $api_secret="****************";
        require_once('VyewAPI.php');
        $vyew = new VyewAPI($api_key, $api_secret);
        //Create a new meeting room
        $res=$vyew->create();
        if($res[0]!=1) die("Failed to create meeting");
        $vyewBookID=$res[2];
        $roomURL=$res[3];

of course the ************ is the api secret provided by vyew. $res[0] returns 0… no idea what that means....
i used the address generated and used in line 981 (https://vyew.com/api/api.php?cmd=create&name=&type=vyew&owner=&key=cab449b34a&time=1254352590&md5=9248e6e37c19c6e339fb9fc99ded1fb4) on my browser and it shows a simple html with the text:
0|Error: Missing API key.

Can anybody help please,
Reguards,
Malcolm

Hi,

Can you please run a very simple test for me? Make a PHP file with the following:

<?php
$test = file_get_contents("http://google.com/");
print("Got ".strlen($test)." bytes. ");
$test = file_get_contents("https://vyew.com/go/login");
print("Got ".strlen($test)." bytes. ");
?>

Upload it to your server, then load it in your browser. If it is working, you should get an output like this: (numbers may be different)

Got 7016 bytes. Got 11900 bytes.

Please let me know if you get the above output, something else, and if you get any PHP errors.

Ok, for some reason your PHP setup is not allowing the use of the file_get_contents() command on HTTPS urls. The Vyew API must be accessed via HTTPS for security reasons, and we wrote the VyewAPI.php helper class using the file_get_contents() PHP command.

I am not sure why it’s not working for you, perhaps something is missing in your PHP setup, or maybe it was disabled for some reason?

The options I can think of are:
A) Ask the admin/owner of your server for help with using file_get_contents() on a https URL
B) Switch to a different server where it does work
C) Write your own PHP code which uses something else, perhaps CURL, instead of using our VyewAPI.php class. You can look at the VyewAPI.php code or the documentation on our website to learn how the API works internally.

I had security problems getting https requests so i had to find a way arround it using cURL… this is probably not the best way to go about fixing it but it works.

private function callAPI( $cmd, $argsArray=array(), $explode_count=NULL )
    {
        if($this->debug) $this->trace("callAPI:$cmd");
        if($this->debug) $this->trace($argsArray);

        $epoch_time=time();

        //--- assemble argument array into string
        $query = "cmd=$cmd";
        foreach ($argsArray as $argName=>$argValue) {
            if(is_array($argValue)){
                foreach ($argValue as $argName2=>$argValue2) {
                    $query .= "&" . $argName2 . "=" . urlencode($argValue2);
                }                
            }else{
               $query .= "&" . $argName . "=" . urlencode($argValue);
            }
        }
        $query .= "&key;=" . $this->apikey . "&time;=$epoch_time";

        //--- make md5 hash of the query + secret string
        $md5 = md5($query . $this->secret);
        $url = $this->apiurl."?$query&md5;=$md5";

        //--- simple GET request, put its contents into $response
    
$log = new Log('report.log');
// Initialize the CURL library
$cURL = curl_init();

// Set the URL to execute
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$log->message("CURL URL: " . $url);
// Set options
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// Execute, saving results in a variable
$strPage = curl_exec($cURL);

// Close CURL resource
curl_close($cURL);

$log->message("CURL $strPage: " . $strPage);
$responseposition=strpos($strPage,'Content-Type')+23 ;
    $log->message("CURL responseposition: " . $responseposition);
$response=substr($strPage,$responseposition);
        $log->message("CURL response: " . $response);
        
        if($this->debug) $this->trace("callAPI RESPONSE:$cmd");
        if($this->debug) $this->trace($response);

        //--- convert "|" (pipe) delimited string to array
        $responseArray = $this->processVyewResult($response, $explode_count);

        if($this->debug) $this->trace($responseArray);
        return $responseArray;
    }

make sure cURL is correcly configured for PHP
