Hi,
Maybe the title does not aptly describe the function I'm looking at.

I have a file in a xml format, I want to be able to call this same file with a HTTP GET. How do I go about it?

I'm not even sure I have described this scenario well.

If you need more info don't hesitate to ask

Make a http call with method type GET to the url, it should return a 200 if the uri exists, ur call depends on if u are using ajax, java.net, or any other means

Hi javadoctor thanks for the response please note I'm not a programmer.

Directions I got from the source is this

"You can always call the API using our secure Link
http://sitename.com/bin/api/

You MUST make use of PHP curl(); function to call the API and it must be a POST Command"

And they said I can put the code into a new file called api.php any help?

The thread question is totally different from wat I see here, what exactly are u trying to achieve? U need to explain vividly

Javadoctor
Okay
I am trying to use their API for my bulksms platform and almost all bulk sms API are usually in a HTTP GET format e.g http://www.domesms.com/sms_api.php?
username=megzy&password=major&sender=Domesms
&dest=234xxxxxxx&msg=Testing the API

But they have HTTP POST API

"Our BulkSMS API allows you to connect to our
system to send BulkSMS Remotely on your own
website or other platforms. Our system prevents
spam and highly secured and as such, we make use
of HTTP POST API. And it can be used on websites,
applications and others.
You can find your API Key in your client area. Our API is an XML Based API as it responses are XML.

Calling The API
You can always call the API using our secure Link
http://sitename.com/bin/api/
You MUST make use of PHP curl(); function to call the API and it must be a POST Command.

A Demonstration Below
<?php
$api_key = "AS38JS20382NS9292NSNSHSG";
$sender = $_POST["sender"]; //You would retrieve
this from your form
$recipient = $_POST["recipient"]; //You would retrieve this from your form
$message = $_POST["message"]; //You would retrieve this from your form
//You do not need to urlencode(); the $message
$action = "sendsms";
$vars = 'api_key='.$api_key.'&sender='.$
sender.'&action='.$action.'&recipient='.$
recipient.'&message='.$message;
$url = "http://sitename.com/bin/api/";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $vars);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
$run = curl_exec($ch);
?>



Action to send sms is sendsms
Action to send sms as reseller is resellsms and it
requires parameters resellerid
Action to generate voucher is genvoucher and it
requires parameters resellerid and value . Voucher is returned in an XML Key voucher
Action to check balance is checkbalance and
response key is balance Action to loadvoucher is
loadvoucher requires parameters voucher"




I hope this gives you a better idea.

Seen, you need to learn how to consume a post method using php, that's the way forward. This method requires an api_key query parameter in the url request, please learn to consume post methods.

Can you do it?

Not in php

You should change from $_POST to $_GET.

If you are picking up the parameters from a html form then you should also change the form's method from "post" to "get".
