In PHP, how can I pass an Object (actually an Array) from one Site to another Site (by not losing its original Object Structure and Values)?
I want to pass directly from the automated script by NOT using HTML and web forms.
Any suggestion, please.
The best way to do that is to use json_encode():
file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/script.php?data='.json_encode($object));
on the other side:
$content = json_decode($_GET['data']);
or send it using cURL
$url = 'http://www.example.com/script.php';
$post = 'data='.json_encode($object);
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, false);
curl_exec($ch);
on the other side:
$content = json_decode($_POST['data']);
json_encode + json_decode + cURL is an amazing remedy.
You can convert it to JSON and then convert it back to the PHP object. This is very easy when it is an array. You can just use json_encode($array) and json_decode($json)on the other site. I would send the data via POST because the limit length of GET: Is there a limit to the length of a GET request?
