PHP API Question

RouterOS Scripting
1

Dear All,

<?php

require('routeros_api.class.php');

$API = new routeros_api();

$API->debug = true;

if ($API->connect('172.17.10.2', 'user', 'pass')) {

$API->comm("/ppp/secret/disable", array(
          "numbers"     => "1",
));

   $API->disconnect();

}

?>

I am using this API code but why it’s not working please tell me how to use it correctly, i have added users and it works like a charm
:wink:

Regards

The numbers argument doesn’t use values equivalent to those you see in Winbox. It instead uses IDs.

You need to get the ID of the item you’re about to disable/remove/set/unset/etc., and use that as the value of “numbers”.

Yes, Of course i am using the specific ID which is used in Terminal.
I have (4) secrets in ppp/secrets

So when i do this command in Terminal

ppp secret disable 1

It works,
But in API nothing works. and it displays this text.

Connection attempt #1 to 172.17.10.2:8728... <<< [6] /login >>> [5/5] bytes read. >>> [5, 39]!done >>> [37/37] bytes read. >>> [37, 1]=ret=0b3a981372f63a499ca228496a268d87 <<< [6] /login <<< [10] =name=wave <<< [44] =response=002f501339c78070a0868f5f73cf5d8a33 >>> [5/5] bytes read. >>> [5, 1]!done Connected... <<< [19] /ppp/secret/disable <<< [10] =numbers=1 >>> [5/5] bytes read. >>> [5, 42]!trap >>> [11/11] bytes read. >>> [11, 30]=category=0 >>> [21/21] bytes read. >>> [21, 8]=message=no such item >>> [5/5] bytes read. >>> [5, 1]!done Disconnected...

What do u think about this ?

And if there is another ID how can i view the item’s ID ?

5

Yes, there is another ID (in the form of a “*” followed by a hex number).

You get it by using “print”, combined with a query that targets the item(s) you wish to later target for disabling/removal/setting/etc.

See this and this topic for examples.

Your looking for something like this. Its rough and I probably screwed something up in there but should give you the general idea

<?php

require('routeros_api.class.php');

$API = new routeros_api();

$API->debug = true;

if ($API->connect('172.17.10.2', 'user', 'pass')) {

$API->write('/ppp/secret/getall');
$read=$API->read(false);
$ARRAY=$API->parse_response($read);
print_r($ARRAY);

$API->write('/ppp/secret/disable',false);
$API->write('=.id=' . $ARRAY['.id'],false);
$API->write('=numbers=1');


   $API->disconnect();

}

?>

Thank you, but i have tried this code and it’s not working.

Please could you do me favor i want to run this command via PHP API

/system script run 0

I will be very appreciated.
Many thanks

It’s the same deal - print the ID (the internal ID, not the Winbox # column!) of the script you’ll be running, and pass it to the run command.

With the client from my signature (dirty installation: download it, extract the “src” folder somewhere, create the following file in the same folder), you can disable an account with:

<?php
namespace PEAR2\Net\RouterOS;//This must remain at the top of your PHP file!
require_once 'PEAR2/Net/RouterOS/Autoload.php';

$client = new Client('172.17.10.2', 'user', 'pass'));

//The key bit... getting the correct ID by printing it
$id = $client->sendSync(new Request('/ppp/secret/print .proplist=.id', null, Query::where('name', 'areeb111')))->getArgument('.id');

$disableRequest = new Request('/ppp/secret/disable');
$client->sendSync($disableRequest->setArgument('numbers', $id));
//And you're done.

(replacing the “areeb111” part with the actual username you want to disable)

To run a script, the code above will be the same, except that “/ppp/secret” will be replaced with “/system/script”, and “/disable” will be “/run” instead.

Try it!
