Introduction to php taobao api development_PHP tutorial

It’s interesting to see the Taobao API, and I’ll learn the PHP tutorial by the way

http://open.taobao.com/

After looking at the API calling method, it is to assemble the URL and then send an http request to interact with the server

See here for the specific principles: http://open.taobao.com/dev/index.php/Quick Start Guide

Look at the official demo, there are two types: using SDK and not using SDK. I don’t like SDK and can’t see the mechanism of background implementation

Look at the code of PHP without SDK: http://open.taobao.com/dev/index.php/php%e8%b0%83%e7%94%a8%e7%a4%ba %e4%be%8b%e4%bb%a3%e7%a0%81

util.php

There are two functions in it, one to generate md5 signature and one to assemble url

Then call these two functions according to the parameters, send http requests, and process the returned results

I probably understand the principle, just copy and paste and run it

Paste the code and run it. . . http 500 error. . .

This is embarrassing, I am also a beginner in PHP, so I have to bite the bullet and find the mistakes

1. The sentence between the two functions in util.php: if ($key != ' ' && $val != ' ') is missing the quotation marks

2. This comment on the main file: //Sandbox environment call address There is something wrong with the space in front of it, just delete it

. . . This official demo is too funny

It finally works, and a bunch of messy stuff is returned, which is completely different from what the API tool returns
