[PHP-WIN] cURL: curl_exec returning chopped up result on a POST operation From: John Palmer (jp <email protected>)
Date: 07/07/02

System:

BSDI 4.1
Apache 1.3.26
PHP 4.1.2
cURL 7.9.8

I have the following function in PHP:

 function XMLExec($command)
        {

                $ch = curl_init();
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, http://host.name/.cgi-bin/cgiprogram);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $command);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

                $res = curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);

                return $res;

        }

Really simple little thing. The CGI-BIN program is a C program that returns XML output. The first line
is Content-type: text/html, then a blank line and then XML

Problem: Sometimes, especially when the XML output is long (maybe 12k or so), the output that ends up in
the $res string is all chopped up. Usually, the first part of the output is present, but then a huge chunk is
missing and then a middle section is there and then the end of the output is chopped off.

Has anyone seen this before? The only error that I can see is that when Apache starts, it whines about
PHP not being compiled with EAPI. Other than that, no other problems.

I'm wondering if there is a buffering problem somwhere but I havent found any mention of this
on any lists
