Drupal 7 - Update User Using PHP Curl

Question

I am using Drupal 7 and the service module, and I am trying to update a user profile using PHP and Curl. Should I always register before sending "PUT / update"?

This is my code:

<?php // REST Server URL $request_url = 'http://mywebsite/end/user/login'; // User data $user_data = array( 'username' => 'user2', 'password' => 'pass1', ); // cURL $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // Do a regular HTTP POST curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json')); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($user_data)); // Set POST data curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); $response = curl_exec($curl); print $response; $http_code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); // Check if login was successful if ($http_code == 200) { // Convert json response as array $logged_user = json_decode($response); } else { // Get error msg $http_message = curl_error($curl); die($http_message); } print_r($logged_user); // REST Server URL $request_url = 'http://mywebsite.com/end/user/8&XDEBUG_SESSION_START=netbeans-xdebug'; $user_data = array('current_pass' => 'pass1', 'pass' => 'pass2'); // Define cookie session $cookie_session = $logged_user->session_name . '=' . $logged_user->sessid; // cURL $curl = curl_init($request_url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/json', 'Content-type: application/json')); // Accept JSON response curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PUT, TRUE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE); // FALSE); // Ask to not return Header curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "$cookie_session"); // use the previously saved session curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, TRUE); // Emulate file. $serialize_args = json_encode($user_data); $putData = fopen('php://temp', 'rw+'); fwrite($putData, $serialize_args); fseek($putData, 0); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILE, $putData); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, drupal_strlen($serialize_args)); $response = curl_exec($curl); $http_code = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); // Check if login was successful $ret; if ($http_code == 200) { // Convert json response as array $ret = json_decode($response); } else { // Get error msg $http_message = curl_error($curl); die($http_message); } print_r($ret); curl_close($curl); } ?> 

What am I missing here? Nothing happens to my profile.

Any answer is welcome!

Hope this helps you.

 $service_url = 'http://mywebsite/end/user/login'; // .xml asks for xml data in response $post_data = array( 'username' => 'user2', 'password' => 'pass1', ); $post_data = http_build_query($post_data, '', '&'); // Format post data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded // set up the request $curl = curl_init($service_url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // have curl_exec return a string curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); // do a POST curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); // POST this data // make the request curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); // output to command line $response = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); // parse the response $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($response); $session_cookie = $xml->session_name .'='. $xml->sessid; if(empty($xml->session_name) && empty($xml->sessid)){ echo 'Wrong';exit; } $service_url = 'http://mywebsite/end/user/token'; // .xml asks for xml data in response $curl = curl_init($service_url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); // do a POST curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data); // POST this data curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); // have curl_exec return a string curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "$session_cookie"); // use the previously saved session // make the request curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); // output to command line $csrf_token = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl); $xml = new SimpleXMLElement($csrf_token); $csrf_token = $xml->token; $csrf_header = 'X-CSRF-Token: ' . $csrf_token; // REST Server URL $request_url = 'http://mywebsite/end/user/8&XDEBUG_SESSION_START=netbeans-xdebug'; $user_data = array('current_pass' => 'pass1', 'pass' => 'testing'); // cURL $curl = curl_init($request_url); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/json', 'Content-type: application/json',$csrf_header)); // Accept JSON response curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PUT, TRUE); //curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($user_data)); // Set POST data curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE); // FALSE); // Ask to not return Header curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "$session_cookie"); // use the previously saved session curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, TRUE); // Emulate file. $serialize_args = json_encode($user_data); $putData = fopen('php://temp', 'rw+'); fwrite($putData, $serialize_args); fseek($putData, 0); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILE, $putData); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($serialize_args)); $response = curl_exec($curl); curl_close($curl);

You can achieve this by using "CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR" to write and save cookies, but you also need to set "CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE" to read. More information can be found at http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

 define('COOKIE_FILE', "/tmp/sess" . time() . $user_data['username']); curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, COOKIE_FILE); curl_setopt ($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, COOKIE_FILE);
