So as the title suggest my problem is getting a response to a HTTP POST I'm making. What SHOULD be happening is I send a bunch of variables, the PHP checks the database for them and sends back to me the result (as an echo to the page).
Here is the android code:
public class CheckChallenge extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String>
{
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... urls)
{
String response = "";
try
{
URL = urls[0];
ArrayList<NameValuePair> nameValuePairs = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>(4);
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("victim",NetPlay.myId));
// need to return these to an array
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("rival",rivalid));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("word","null"));
nameValuePairs.add(new BasicNameValuePair("won","0"));
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new
HttpPost("http://www.hanged.comli.com/check-rival.php");
httppost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(nameValuePairs));
HttpResponse execute = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = execute.getEntity();
//InputStream is = entity.getContent();
//mText.setText(is.toString());
Log.i("postData", execute.getStatusLine().toString());
//HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection"+e.toString());
}
return response;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result)
{
// CHECK ENTIRE DATABASE FOR MY ID //
// IF MY ID IS THERE THEN THAT MEANS IVE CHALLENGED SOMEONE //
}
}
Here is the PHP which I think is ok just including this for completeness: $connect = mysql_connect("$mysql_host", "$mysql_user", "$mysql_password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$mysql_database", $connect)or die("cannot select DB"); session_start();
$victim = $_POST['victim'];
$rival = $_POST['rival'];
$word = $_POST['word'];
$won = $_POST['won'];
$query = "SELECT rival FROM currentgames";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if (!$result)
{
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0)
{
echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
echo $row["rival"];
}
Any help with this would be very appreciated, trying to get my head around all this HTTP POSTing stuff.
