My most recent code that doesn’t produce syntax errors, but also produces a fail response, looks like this:

// Call WordPress function get_currentuserinfo()
// For 4 standard WP fields and wp_get_current_user()
// To call 4 custom WP my-user-fields
    /**
     * @example Safe usage: $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
     * if ( !($current_user instanceof WP_User) )
     *     return;
     */

function get_currentuserinfo() {
global $user_firstname, $user_lastname, $user_login, $user_email;
      get_currentuserinfo();

function wp_get_current_user() {
$current_user = wp_get_current_user ();
$myvar = ($current_user->has_prop('my-field')) . $current_user->get('my-field') . '\n';
$myvar = $WP_vals = array ();

	$WP_vals = array(

	echo    'firstname' . $current_user->user_firstname . "\n";
	echo	'lastname' . $current_user->user_lastname . "\n";
	echo	'username' . $current_user->user_login . "\n";
	echo	'email' . $current_user->user_email . "\n";
	echo	'address' . $current_user->mepr-address-one . '<br />';
	echo	'city' . $current_user->mepr-address-city . '<br />';
    echo    'state' . $current_user->mepr-address-state . '<br />';
    echo    'zip' . $current_user->mepr-address-zip . '<br />';
	);	

//    return $WP_vals;
	}
}

Thanks for all of your input. The password presents a new issue to overcome. I’m using a user registration form plugin that I believe I can get a hook into, to do something creative here.

Let me ask you this. If I create a second custom user password field in the DB, named anything_user_password and write data to both the WP standard password user meta and the custom and the same time, if my custom password field is set as just a text field with no other properties, shouldn’t I be able to retrieve the password from the custom password field?

Or, since the password as it relates to all of this is just to supply something for the other login, theoretically I could have one password I would give to the other site that was a constant, so if the user changed their password on site 1, it would never effect their login on site 2. Sounds reasonable to me.

And last, so you’d recommend I use get_currentuserinfo() to build the 4 standard fields in the array? Can it get all of my custom user data fields stored in usermeta?

If not, would it be best from the start to call the 4 standard user fields with get_currentuserinfo() and call the 6 custom fields (which would include the custom password field) with wp_get_current_user?

Hey bcworkz,

Thanks for your comments. Hacking this code is the most difficult and time consuming php hack I’ve ever done. My code doesn’t even look like the post currently.

I’ve done several code edits based on suggestions from across the internet, and it still doesn’t work!

Let me show you and everyone what the original file looked like that I’ve tested, which works (every time) and produces a (Status: ok) result.

But keep in mind, the file in this form does nothing that automates any process. You must retype all of the values over and over again to register every new user.

The whole purpose of my edited file is to automate a process for the user, providing a convenience so they don’t have to register twice for two sites. Here is the static array version.

line1 php

// Set the Query POST parameters
$query_vals = array(
	'api_username' => 'api-username-here',
	'api_password' => 'password-here',
	'api_key' => 'key-here',
	'firstname' => 'Mary',
	'lastname' => 'Tester',
	'address' => '122 Anywhere Street',
	'city' => 'Little Rock',
	'state' => 'AR',
	'zip' => '72223',
	'country' => 'US',
	'email' => '[email protected]',
	'username' => 'MaryTester',
	'password' => 'password',
	'perkalert' => 0,
	'offer_radius' => 20,
	'send_welcome_email' => 1
);

// Generate the POST string
$postdata = '';
foreach($query_vals as $key => $value) {
	$postdata .= $key.'='.urlencode($value).'&';
}

// Chop of the trailing ampersand
$postdata = rtrim($postdata, '&');

// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://secureserver/register_member.xml');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postdata);

// Save response to a string
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$xml = simplexml_load_string($response);

//var_dump($xml);
echo "Status: ".$xml->status;

The first three (api fields) will always have the same value, as will the last three fields. So six fields can remain static, but the other 10 fields will always change and must be queried from the WP user DB.

Then the user data is held in an array along with the other static first six fields, then we generate a post string, connect via curl to the other server, save the response to a simplexml load string and get a response from the server of ok or fail and we’re done.

I’ve recoded the WP user array code five times based on suggestions and recoded the post string code maybe seven times and I still get a (fail) server message.

Step 1 is – I first need the correct code syntax to query WP for the user fields shown. BTW, the (mepr-fields) listed in my first post are correct, they are custom usermeta fields in the WP DB.

Should I be using – get_currentuser, or should I use wp_get_current_user? After seeing so many code changes, I don’t know how to code the WP user info needed for the array.

Wow! Thanks Timm, it worked without any problems after following your recommended fix. Back to normal now without the p tags!

Thanks bro,

Barry
