Topic: PHP JSON script. calling blockchains.info API (Read 4803 times)
Man is that ugly. I'm going to poke around to I can find a way to output it to nice clean HTML like on blockchain.info
i usually do this instead of var_dump:
echo '
makes for an easy visualisation of the variable's structure.
echo '
';';
print_r($whatever);

The blockchain.info json rpc api gives me something that looks like:

Array
(
[1JzpGDthPGqfsdfeajN5iiVj2SLq4FKpL] => 0.002
[1sadfweHkPTFL2TogQJz7LbpEsvpQJ1dxfa] => 1.534
[1MCL86tPrhNCjEsdfwVcrqL7rAsRZZKrrq] => 0.003
)
I guess the blockchain.info api is simplified and higher precision isn't available?
When I use the blockchain.info listaccounts() call, I get an array with all the bitcoin balances rounded to 3 decimal places. Is that something I have to handle properly? How can I get it to go to 8 decimal places?
im pretty sure im getting satoshi, the 3.75250000 yup 8, And a ton of other crap. with the Var_dump

hell yea, getting there. outputted data without formatting

your basic code is mal-formed.
try this:
$address = '13sFP2R1tENbxcxGtH72ceW7YCvFjdLJkT'; //sets the address
$address_info = get_address_info($address); //gets the info about the address into $address_info
var_dump($address_info); //outputs the contents of $address_info to the browser
(and include the get_address_info function too)
try this:
$address = '13sFP2R1tENbxcxGtH72ceW7YCvFjdLJkT'; //sets the address
$address_info = get_address_info($address); //gets the info about the address into $address_info
var_dump($address_info); //outputs the contents of $address_info to the browser

I wish someone would implement a full client in PHP. Although that's a lot of work of course.

var_dump($address_info); //outputs the contents of $address_info to the browser

edit: actually, to start with, use this line in place of line 2 above:
$address_info = get_address_info($address, true); //gets the info about the address into $address_info
that way, you'll see some handy info on the screen to show what's going on.

cURL a thing or that just a typo? what would that php look like?>
it's a thing. although i don't remember what the 'c' stands for.
ahh, Im not even running bitcoind right now. Im just trying to keep track of an address linked to an offline wallet.
Ill start reading up on bitcoind.

if you're purely just keeping track of an address, you don't even need to use RPC...
you could use cURL to read from blockchain.info's output, and then use PHP's functions to decode that JSON output into an object or array.
awsome, I'm going to try and do that first.
thanks, im adding your code. Ill report back
here's some code i did using cURL:
no jsonRPCClient required.
Code:
function get_address_info($address, $debug = false)
{
$url = 'http://blockchain.info/address/' . $address . '?format=json';
if ($debug)

';

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if ($debug)

print_r($response);
echo '';
}
return json_decode($response);

Uploaded the JSON RPC onto the site. Just left it in its folder
Going though the example.php
Should I make a new class say Transactions with this example?
or once I got the jsonrpcphp folder in my root directory i can just call to it?
something like?
$client=new jsonRPCClient('http://blockchain.info/address/$bitcoin_address?format=json');
$txs=$client->gettxs();
?>

don't put the blockchain.info address URL in there... put the URL which points to bitcoind.
eg. http://username:[email protected]:8332/ if you're running bitcoind on your own server
or
http://username:[email protected]:80
if you're using blockchain.info's api
you don't need to make a new class.
just call jsonRPCClient with whatever function you need to use.

I'm new to PHP, looking though a lot scripts on the site and they seem to be doing a lot more then I need. I'm simply trying to get the JSON object for an imputed address and get an array of transactions. And store that data on my site.
Been fooling around with a couple shopping cart's and still trying to grasp what all the JSON-RPC PHP does. I'm thinking it im going a lot farther then I need to do this.
Any pointers or material you could link to me would be greatly Appreciated.
