Php example not working

[technocode]

Hi..
i tested on my localhost.. chatterbotapitest.php.. but its not working... no reply form the bot..

Then, i modified the function to see the response form fopen...

$context = stream_context_create($contextParams);
$fp = fopen($url, 'rb', false, $context);
$response = stream_get_contents($fp);
echo $response;

i got the following response:
"DENIED +3000_cbfull"

Hi!
Thank you for your feedback!

I have just tried to run the php test with the latest GIT:

$ php chatterbotapitest.php

And it works.

Does www.cleverbot.com at least works in your browser ?

Are you able to ping or traceroute to www.cleverbot.com ?

Thanks for the reply..

Finally i found the solution...

I changed the code from
http_build_query($params);
to
http_build_query($params, '', '&');

And its work perfectly. The problem caused by the & might not be handled properly.

hum, you should not have to do this, as those are the default values:

http_build_query($params, '', '&');

What version of php to you use ?

Here, I use:

$ php --version
PHP 5.5.14 (cli) (built: Sep  9 2014 19:09:25) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2014 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2014 Zend Technologies

I'm using php 5.3.

I fixed my problem by referring this note on php.net

http://php.net/manual/en/function.http-build-query.php#102324

[pierredavidbelanger]

Oh, ok, you are right, "&" is not the default in php 5.3.
Good to know!
Also, good to know you fixed your bug.
Thank you!
