trigger json url from PHP script

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to turn lamp on from a PHP script on an external server.
set lamp on with url works:
http://myurl:8080/json.htm?type=command ... itchcmd=On
now on external website in php code:
But this doen'st work:
Code: Select all
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://url:8080/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx=57&switchcmd=On");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
?>
PS: i have whitelisted the IP adress in my domoticz config of the external PHP server that sends the trigger. So i don't need to autorize.
I also checked fopen; Anybody an idea? or am i looking in the wrong direction?

Are you using basic-auth? if so that whitelist dont mean diddily and you still need to provide auth credentials..
secondly, why dont you see what curl is erroring on..
Code: Select all
if(curl_exec($ch) === false)
{
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}

I use file_get_contents:
Code: Select all
file_get_contents($domoticzurl.'json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx='.$idx.'&switchcmd='.$cmd.'&level=0&passcode=')

I use "Basic Auth" and i also have whitelisted the IP adres of the webserver.
I also added
http://username:password@url:8080/json. ... itchcmd=On (username / password)
I tryed file_get_contents( but with no results. page keeps loading. very frustrating when i enter the URL.
Thnx for the CURL error report; it gives: "Curl error: Failed to connect to URL" connection timed out.
Thats a clear message. Probably authenticatie problem.
Could the missing or wrong content-type header cause this error "failed to connect" ?
Addition:
I just tryed a PHP Ping script to ping to my server. That didn't work. Port 80 is succesfull; but port 8080 is not succesfull.
strange; because the url works good in the browser. port 8080 is succesfull forwared. and the light turns on.
