LoopFuse PHP Script Post

From LoopFuse Wiki

The following sample script enables socket-based communication with LoopFuse, allowing you to post form registration information to LoopFuse from a PHP script on the backend.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Send it to loopfuse
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//cycle through all the _POST variables in the form
while (list($result_name, $result_value) = each($_POST)) {
     //uncomment the below for debugging
     //echo $result_name . ":" . $result_value . "
";
     //put all the variables in the format to send to loopfuse
     $loopdata .= $result_name . "=" . $result_value . "&";
}
//remove the last & 
$loopdata = substr($loopdata,0,(strlen($loopdata)-1));
//for debugging: view what you are sending to loopfuse, make sure it includes the vid variable
//echo "Var List: " . $loopdata . "
";
//send the information via the sendToHost function
$buffer = sendToHost("loopfuse.net","POST","/webrecorder/post",$loopdata);
//for debugging: uncomment the below to see what loopfuse sends back, we want to see a 200 code
//echo "Loopfuse's response: " . $buffer . "
";

The function that does all the work:

/* sendToHost
 * 08:44, 12 March 2008 (CDT)08:44, 12 March 2008 (CDT)
 * Params:
 *   $host      - Just the hostname.  No http:// or
                  /path/to/file.html portions
 *   $method    - get or post, case-insensitive
 *   $path      - The /path/to/file.html part
 *   $data      - The query string, without initial question mark
 *   $useragent - If true, 'MSIE' will be sent as
                  the User-Agent (optional)
 *
 * Examples:
 *   sendToHost('www.google.com','get','/search','q=php_imlib');
 *   sendToHost('www.example.com','post','/some_script.cgi',
 *              'param=First+Param&second=Second+param');

//Used to send info to loopfuse
function sendToHost($host,$method,$path,$data,$useragent=0)
{
   // Supply a default method of GET if the one passed was empty
   if (empty($method)) {
       $method = 'GET';
   }
   $method = strtoupper($method);
   $fp = fsockopen($host, 80);
   if ($method == 'GET') {
       $path .= '?' . $data;
   }
   fputs($fp, "$method $path HTTP/1.1\r\n");
   fputs($fp, "Host: $host\r\n");
   fputs($fp,"Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
   fputs($fp, "Content-length: " . strlen($data) . "\r\n");
   if ($useragent) {
       fputs($fp, "User-Agent: MSIE\r\n");
   }
   fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
   if ($method == 'POST') {
       fputs($fp, $data);
   }
   while (!feof($fp)) {
       $buf .= fgets($fp,128);
   }
   fclose($fp);
   return $buf;

• Additional Notes:
  • Make sure to include your formid and cid hidden variables in your form
  • Make sure you have your listen.js code in the page where you have your form.
