(PHP ActiveX) HttpPostJson2Async Example

Demonstrates use of the HttpPostJson2Async method.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code

// See PostJson2 Example for the synchronous equivalent of this example.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// Sends a POST equivalent to the following CURL command:

// curl -X POST https://sandbox.plaid.com/institutions/get \
//   -H 'content-type: application/json' \
//   -d '{
//     "client_id": String,
//     "secret":String,
//     "count": Number,
//     "offset": Number
//   }'

// Suppress some default headers that would automatically added..
$http->AcceptCharset = '';
$http->UserAgent = '';
$http->AcceptLanguage = '';
$http->AllowGzip = 0;

$jsonBody = '{\'client_id\': \'PLAID_CLIENT_ID\', \'secret\':\'PLAID_SECRET\', \'count\': 10, \'offset\': 0}';
// task is a Chilkat.Task
$task = $http->PostJson2Async('https://sandbox.plaid.com/institutions/get','application/json',$jsonBody);
if ($http->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Start the background task.
$success = $task->Run();
if (!$success) {
    print $task->LastErrorText . "\n";

}

// The application is now free to do anything else
// while the HTTP POST is in progress

// For this example, we'll simply sleep and periodically
// check to see if the HTTP POST is finished.  
while ($task->Finished != 1) {
    // Sleep 100 ms.
    $task->SleepMs(100);
}

// When we get here, the task is either finished successfully or not, or was canceled/aborted.

// If the task was "canceled", it was canceled prior to actually starting.  This could
// happen if the task was canceled while waiting in a thread pool queue to be scheduled by Chilkat's
// background thread pool scheduler.  

// If the task was "aborted", it indicates that it was canceled while running in a background thread.  
// The ResultErrorText will likely indicate that the task was aborted.

// If the task "completed", then it ran to completion, but the actual success/failure of the method
// is determined by getting the result of the underlying method call.
// A task status of 7 indicates completion.
if ($task->StatusInt != 7) {
    print 'Task did not complete.' . "\n";
    print 'task status: ' . $task->Status . "\n";

    exit;

// When called synchronously, the PostJson2 method returns an HTTP response object,
// unless the method failed and there was no response to be had.
// Check to see if PostJson2 method failed (and thus there is no response object).

    exit;

// To get the HTTP response object, create a new instance and load it with the result from the task.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.HttpResponse')
