Can't connect to node using easybitcoin.php

[edgycorner]

Hey,
I am using this code on one of my vps

Code:

<?php
require_once('easybitcoin.php');
$bitcoin = new Bitcoin('uname','password','node_ip','port');
$new=$bitcoin->status;
var_dump($new);
var_dump($bitcoin);
?>

I am getting this everytime:

Code:

NULL 
object(Bitcoin)#1 (12) { ["username":"Bitcoin":private]=> string(12) "uname" ["password":"Bitcoin":private]=> string(18) "password" ["proto":"Bitcoin":private]=> string(4) "http" ["host":"Bitcoin":private]=> string(12) "node_ip" ["port":"Bitcoin":private]=> string(4) "8392" ["url":"Bitcoin":private]=> NULL ["CACertificate":"Bitcoin":private]=> NULL ["status"]=> NULL ["error"]=> NULL ["raw_response"]=> NULL ["response"]=> NULL ["id":"Bitcoin":private]=> int(0) }

Here's the bitcoin.conf from the node:

Code:

prune=600
maxconnections=12
maxuploadtarget=20
server=1
rpctimeout=30

rpcallowip=VPS IP
rpcport=8392
rpcuser=uname
rpcpassword=passwrd

daemon=1

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

easybitcoin seems to be no longer working, or needs some tweaking.

I have written a php function using curl.
You can use this php function, if you are also looking for a solution:
Just pass the method in the function and make sure to edit out your rpc details inside the function.

Code:

<?php

function bitcoin($method){
$ch = curl_init();
$rpcuser='rpcusername';
$rpcpassword='rpcpassword'; 
$host='nodeIP';  //IP address of your node or localhost, if running locally
$port='port';

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://$rpcuser:$rpcpassword@$host:$port/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{\"jsonrpc\":\"1.0\",\"id\":\"curltext\",\"method\":\"$method\",\"params\":[]}");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);
return($result);
}
$method="getblockchaininfo"; //bitcoin-cli method like getchaininfo,getwalletinfo etceter
$lol=bitcoin($method);
?>

Cheers!

You can use JSON RPC CLIENT:

Example of use:

Code:

<?php
function generate_address() {
	require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
	$bitcoin = new jsonRPCClient('http://'.json_username.':'.json_password.'@'.json_server.':'.json_port.'/');
	$address = $bitcoin->getnewaddress();
	return $address;

}
echo generate_address();
?>
