Problem GET with params

[themegass]

Hi

I was testing your code and I found a problem.

Basically, I amb using GET with multiple parameters:

$client->get($method_url, $data);

where data is some like:

 $data = array("module_id" => 1, "module_instance" => 2)

When I call to get the built URL is:

HTTP GET /api/course/87/activity/?module_id=1&module_instance=2 

But the REST API should get:

HTTP GET /api/course/87/activity/?module_id=1&module_instance=2 

It looks like a problem with:

http_build_query($data) 

When I change with:

str_replace("&","&",http_build_query($data,"&"))

It works

Can you help me to understand my error?

Thanks!!

The class utilizes the http_build_query function for get requests here https://github.com/php-mod/curl/blob/master/src/Curl/Curl.php#L310, which should return &. You can test this here: https://3v4l.org/35rNL

So i am curious why you get & instead of expected &. What php version did you use? Is there any other code parts involved? Did you made a var_dump of the url in the code?

I can make some tests in order to verify the behavior.

There is also an ini value for the default arg seperator, i was not aware of this. Maybe check your php ini config => https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.arg-separator.output

Hi

Thanks for the quick response

The code is inside a Moodle 4.0.1 docker machine.

As you said, it may be the ini parameter is not well configured in that machine.

I will check this parameter in the docker machine.

I will return to you after checking

Thanks!!

Hi again

You were correct.

The php.ini is set to: arg_separator.output = "\&"

I guess that this is configured such way for Moodle functionality (I am not an expert on how Moodle works).

The problem is how to force to curl connections to other servers (or other docker containers)

Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this?

Thanks!!

Then you have two options:

1. Change the arg_separator.output to & :-) would be the simplest solution.
2. add the params by yourself to the base path:

$url = '/api/course/87/activity/?' . http_build_query(["module_id" => 1, "module_instance" => 2], '', '&');
$client->get($url);
