returning "Array"

[maxmitch]

require_once('bitly.php');

$results = bitly_v3_shorten('http://www.tragicclothing.co.uk/bitsandbobs.php#martello-tower-y-by-billings-jackson-design', '83dsfreu61b8b7081e950d6c1383fb86d3d8334', 'j.mp');

when I use echo $results; the php page returns Array.

And when I use echo $results[0]; the php page returns nothing?

Why is this not working?

its prob. a ref. array...try $results->[0] and see if that returns what you would expect.

I did try $results[0] ?

[Falicon]

The difference is the arrow before the bracket $results->[0] vs $ results[0]

The first is for a reference to an array, the second is actually an array...it's a confusing thing that mostly has to do with memory management in the background.

I have the same problem, it was working previously, and I tested that curl is working:

function _isCurl(){ return function_exists('curl_version'); }

echo "Curl enabled: " . _isCurl();

I even tried changing the $var->{}->{} notation to $var[][] and still nothing, when i print_r the output I just get:

Array ( [status_code] => )

[websolprov]

If I echo display the url that is passed to curl and then put this into a browser I get a successful shortlink, and a 200 status code but it doesnt explain how or why the php curl call doesnt work.

[websolprov]

If I print the $ch variable I get Resource id #53 so this isnt generating an error, but if I execute:

$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo "output: ";
print_r($output);

I just get blank, no errors.

[websolprov]

Hmmm seems to be that CurlSSL wasnt enabled on the server, did this in Apache and the SSL call to the shorten function seems to work now.

I am also getting the same error.

code: include_once('bitly.php'); $result = bitly_v3_shorten('http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/'); print_r($result);

result shows: Array ( )

I have checked phpinfo() and curls shows up enabled with ssl

I tried again by uploading the file again and creating a new test file.

code: <?php include_once('bitly.php'); $result = bitly_v3_shorten('http://knowabout.it', 'j.mp'); print_r($result); ?>

result: Array ( [status_code] => 500 )

[Falicon]

The result is an array because there appears to be an error (the status_code listed at 500)...that specific error probably has to do with authentication (i.e. you are not properly authorized when you make the request)...it looks like the 'shorten' endpoint now requires auth ( http://dev.bitly.com/links.html#v3_shorten ).

Getting the same error as above, the file returns just "Array". I've triple-checked everything, but still no luck, any idea what could be going on?

[diogo10]

Hi guys, how can I get just the url? I've tried results[0], results->[0]....just to test if I can get some part of the array....but no luck.
