Thanks! :)

Hi, tried using this style but when i print $response its empty. How can I see the response to my curl request to see errors. Thanks!

Thanks!

@Mo45 Any way to trigger @everyone ? :D

@Mo45 Any way to trigger @everyone ? :D

Hello. I'm not sure but try this.

\@everyone or <@&everyone>

My bad, it works with the regular @everyone :)

In order for a webhook bot to tag everyone, discord server must enable ability to use @everyone tag for everyone.

If you can't send message and get this error: {"message": "Cannot send an empty message", "code": 50006}
After this line $ch = curl_init( $webhookurl );
You need to add new one:
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));

Thanks. My webhook stopped yesterday but your code helped me to solve problem.

Thanks! :)

@Mo45 do you know if this would support posting an image along with the message?

@Mo45 do you know if this would support posting an image along with the message?

Read about Embed Objects.

@lowe493 do you know if this would support posting an image along with the message?

Updated code. Now with Embed Object.

question, what if i want to have a contact form and whatever you type in the boxes are posted on the corresponding boxes on the webhook

You can call webhook on form submit, and send input data in additional fields array here:
"fields" => [ // Field 1 [ "name" => "Name", "value" => "$name", "inline" => false ], // Field 2 [ "name" => "email", "value" => "$email", "inline" => true ], // Field 3 [ "name" => "text", "value" => "$text", "inline" => true ] ]

Wow, thank you :)

Hello, I always get this error: {"message": "400: Bad Request", "code": 0}

Any ideas how to fix it?

@ProfessorVarox Are you get your webhook URL and changed this value to your URL?
$webhookurl = "YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL";

Hi, can you make a sample on how to mention a user with webhook and php?

Hi, can you make a sample on how to mention a user with webhook and php?

Updated code. Add <@12341234123412341> with userID into content or description.
You can find your userID here.
It was alredy answered almost year ago.

Hi, your script is so useful, thank you !
But what should I put in "file" to upload a file ?

You should put FILE. Read docs, please.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I get {"message": "Cannot send an empty message", "code": 50006}. I googled but couldn't find an answer.

[EDIT] : I finally got it working

I want to make form for this
My form page index.php [ form action="send.php"]
Send.Php contain this above code I used post method

Now what should I do so it again redirected back to index.Php

Read this.

Great starting point, thanks for keeping me lazy 👍

Hi Mo45, great job thanks.
I was looking for sume stuff like this, to send message direct to Discord from a php script.
One additional question.
Can I insert/ send html code?
i have to send a table with results
Michael

You cannot use html, sorry.

Discord does not allow this to prevent XSS.

if you have developer mode on you can right click a user and grab the id and use that to @ the user. It would like this <@47490920917838> and will render like this @BobTheBuilder

It's not working and I am not getting any information back from echo $response. I have tried with a fresh copy paste and only updated the webhook URL to ensure I didn't break anything but still no post and no error message. Ideas?

Works flawless for me, are you running this local or on a server?
@PickleBranston

Works flawless for me, are you running this local or on a server?
@PickleBranston

locally

@PickleBranston Make sure php is running

php is running fine as far as I can tell, there's no errors in the script and it prints out some random variable for me without issue. Perhaps a permission thing?

Got it working. Cannot tell you what changed though so I can't offer a solution if somebody else comes across the problem?

Thanks

@PickleBranston Yup I was about to say that next sounds like a permission on your local machine.

@ml1969 Instead HTML you can use MD.

Hi! I used your code, replaced the webhookurl with my webhook url, saved the code, uploaded on my website, executed the webhook.php file (this), page just loaded with no response...
I added "echo $response;" but after some time, page loaded with no reply, only blank space.
Any ideas?

EDIT: I added if($response === TRUE){ echo "true"; } if($response === FALSE){ echo "False"; } and after running the code, i get a "False"

Can you show us your error log?

Can you show us your error log?

error log?
what do you mean?

PHP stores errors and stuff that goes wrong in a file called error.log. What OS are you on?

windows 7

Are you using XAMPP?

Are you using XAMPP?

no, i run it on a host

Oooohh, sorry, I meant what is the OS of your host? I would assume it would be under /var/log/apache2/error.log

Oooohh, sorry, I meant what is the OS of your host? I would assume it would be under /var/log/apache2/error.log

yeah, i dont know, the thing is that im not allowed to view the error log. I dont have permissions.

Change permissions then

I dont have account permissions by hosting service :)

Thats something you might want to contact your hosting company about. Maybe say something like:

Hello,
Can I have permissions to view my Apache error log?

[EDIT] : I finally got it working

Could you share your solution? I've been struggling on this for a bit

Well, what does your error log say?

Is it possible to mention a role with this? I have tried @everyone and it works fine but when I try a specific role like @admin discord just ignores it. Thanks

@KarelRuzicka, Just read the Docs.
In order to call role mention you need to use <@&123> with needed roleID instead of 123.

Hello. I am trying to use the next line "\n" in the embed but it is not working. Any tips? It does work in the "content" section.

Hello. I am trying to use the next line "\n" in the embed but it is not working. Any tips? It does work in the "content" section.

Maybe because Discord does not support this? Check Docs.

the username is an override too, just like the profile image, of the default. just wanted to note it.

Hello

I'm constantly getting this error: _{"misc": ["Only dictionaries may be used in a DictType"]} but I can't figure out what am I doing wrong. If I don't include any variables in the encoding part, it goes through, but if I put any variables into the encoding part, I just get this DictType error :/ .

My code: https://pastebin.com/CRaig1TM

This doesnt seem to be working for me. Nothing happens. I echoed response and there was nothing in it.
Here is my error log:

I am using WAMP64.

That looks like your access log, not your error log.

@RiversideRocks Then it appears my error log is empty. However I found this file named apache_error which contains the following:

Anything useful?

Thats odd, no errors with PHP here. Can you run the file on the cli (php yourfile)?

@debug420 before asking for help read doc's and re-check your code. Problem in your code:

• Duplicated CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER line
• Wrong $msg array
• json_decode instead of json_encode

Here is your code

@Mo45 The pastebin is private.
Also, I copied the entire thing and replaced the url with my webhook url. Still nothing. Here is what I executed:
https://pastebin.com/bjy1FiLF

(The webhook url is valid, I just deleted it)

@debug420, your code is wrong. Learn how to execute and debug. Also Discord docs.
Here is fully working code.

Hmm still doesnt seem to work. And I apologize, I don't use php and I'm just trying to get this to work so I can move on.
I tried hosting it too on Awardspace.com but with no luck. Any clue as to why this is occuring?
(I copied the entire code you sent and just replaced the url with my webhook)

Can you not send discord webhook requests with 000webhost? I wrote my own code and it didn't work so I came to this and this doesn't work either. It just keeps returning the webhook data you would get with a GET request, but it's not sending any data.

Just to clarify, this code works as it should work.
I'm only wondering is it possible to send reactions with this?

Works flawlessly. Thanks a lot!

Hey i have a problem, my code run in linux but not in my IIS website.
when i display $response on my IIS server it returns false. I don't know why. My two servers are in https.
EDIT: I have var_dump($json_date) is everything is fine I do not understand
Thanks

@nschwaller most likely you need to install curl extension. Read your server error logs.

i have curl in my iis server...

edit: mb this my error :

Works brilliantly. Is it possible to send a direct message to a user using a variant of this? (Not mentioning a user, but actually private messaging them)

You would need to use a discord bot to do that. (see discord.php)
