Hi,

I'm trying to translate an asp application in a php way, i'm using Php
4.3.x.
I'm going to try an asp newsgroup too, but as it mainly deals with Php, I
would like to submit you my probem :

I have to retrieve some XML datas from a server whose URL is built like that
:
https://myserver:4012/code/myapp?param1=3;

I tried fopen, fsockopen with no result.

So it's https, there is a port (4012 for example). Perhaps I forgot some
particular https parameters with my fopen and fsockopen tries ?

The original asp code is :
---
Set myxml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")
' Opens the connection to the remote server :
xml.Open "GET", url, False
---

Php methods didn't work so I tried the ajax way :
if(window.XMLHttpRequest){
// Firefox, Safari, Opera...
req = new XMLHttpRequest();
} else if(window.ActiveXObject) {
// Internet Explorer 5+
req = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} else {
alert('Problem creating the XMLHttpRequest object');
return false;
}
return req;

.... But i'm not sure the ActiveXObject is identical to the original :
Set myxml = Server.CreateObject("Msxml2.ServerXMLHTTP.4.0")

So if you have any ideas to do it with Php or any other technical ways, you
are welcome.

Thanks,
Arnaud
