Assuming you have the PHP Curl library installed. http://pastebin.com/f12d3445 Trying to post PHP code here results in an error. Rapaport Technet forums seem to suck a bit.

Hi, Thank you for you feed back. We changed our forums to except tags , so now you can enter code that requires them such as PHP. Eli Sack Rapaport IT Team

Can Anyone Help Me, I've Used The PHP Code To Download The Price List But The CSV File Remains Empty.

<?php
//1 - Authenticate with TechNet. The authentication ticket will be stored in $auth_ticket. Note this MUST be HTTPS.
$auth_url = "https://technet.rapaport.com/HTTP/Authenticate.aspx";
$post_string = "username=xx&password=" . urlencode("xx");

//create HTTP POST request with curl:
$request = curl_init($auth_url); // initiate curl object
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // set to 0 to eliminate header info from response
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // Returns response data instead of TRUE(1)
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string); // use HTTP POST to send form data
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); // uncomment this line if you get no gateway response.
$auth_ticket = curl_exec($request); // execute curl post and store results in $auth_ticket
curl_close ($request);


//2 - prepare HTTP request for data. Copy the URL from the RapLink Feed page in RapNet.com: 
// go to: http://www.rapnet.com/RapNet/DownloadListings/Download.aspx, choose your parameters, and click
// generate code. Make sure to specify the columns wanted. This can produce a very long URL.

$feed_url = "https://technet.rapaport.com/HTTP/RapLink/download.aspx?
ShapeIDs=1,2,3,4,9&WeightFrom=0&WeightTo=5&LabIDs=1,4,10,5&White=1&Programmatically=yes";
$feed_url .= "&ticket=".$auth_ticket; //add authentication ticket:



//prepare to save response as file.
$fp = fopen('rapnetfeed1.csv', 'wb');
if ($fp == FALSE)
{
echo "File not opened";
exit;
}

//create HTTP GET request with curl 
$request = curl_init($feed_url); // initiate curl object
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); //Ask cURL to write the contents to a file
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); // set to 0 to eliminate header info from response
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 300); //set timeout to 5 mins
curl_exec($request); // execute curl post
// additional options may be required depending upon your server configuration
// you can find documentation on curl options at http://www.php.net/curl_setopt
curl_close ($request); // close curl object 
fclose($fp); //close file;


//Special thanks to David Meyers for helping me to create the sample file. \\ :-) //

 Thank You In Advance
