I'm trying to create a script that will delete all user properties for a particular individual. I'm able to use an api call to get the users' properties. And I'm trying use a delete api to remove each property. But I'm having an issue doing so. Below is the code:\[code\]$delete = "http://www.ourwiki.com/@api/DELETE:users/$user_id/properties/%s";$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString);foreach($xml->property as $property) { $name = $property['name']; // the name is stored in the attribute file_get_contents(sprintf($delete, $name));}\[/code\]I believe I need to use curl to perform the actual delete. Here is an example of that command (property=something):\[code\]curl -u username
assword -X DELETE -i http://ourwiki.com/@api/users/[email protected]/properties/something\[/code\]-u Provides external user authentication.-X Specifies the HTTP request method.-i Outputs the HTTP response headers. Useful for debugging.Is this something that I can incorporate right into the existing script? Or is there something else I need to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated.update:\[code\]<?php$user_id="[email protected]";$url=('http://aaron:[email protected]/@api/deki/users/[email protected]/properties');$xmlString=file_get_contents($url);$delete = "http://aaron:[email protected]/@api/deki/DELETE:users/$user_id/properties/%s";$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlString); function curl_fetch($url,$username,$password,$method='DELETE'){ $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $method); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); // returns output as a string instead of echoing it curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERPWD,"$username:$password"); // if your server requires basic auth do this return curl_exec($ch);}foreach($xml->property as $property) { $name = $property['name']; // the name is stored in the attribute curl_fetch(sprintf($delete, $name),'aaron','12345');}?>\[/code\]
