Re: [Mediawiki-api] Bad or Invalid Token in Extension

you should be using the move token not the edit token

I'm trying to make a simple extension that moves a page on my mediawiki site, but whether using curl or FauxRequest, I always get bad token response. Tried urlencoding, not encoding, %2B/, without +/, etc, doesn't matter. The token shown in the output looks identical to the one when requesting it from the api. I’m a total programming noob, so could be something simple, but I feel like I’ve been through everything at this point.

Code looks like this currently using FauxRequest, with param1/2/3 coming from the parser function I'm creating.

global $wgUser;

$token = $token = $wgUser->editToken();

$params = new FauxRequest(

array(

    'action'    => 'move',

    'from'      => “$param1”,

    'to'        => “$param2”,

    'format'    => 'php',

    'reason'    => “$param3”,

    'token'     => “$token”)

);

$api = new ApiMain( $params, true);

$api->execute();

$data = & $api->getResultData();

$output = "moved $param1 to $param2 - $token";

also tried the below code using curl instead, which results in bad token as well

global $wgUser;

$token = $wgUser->editToken();

$url = 'http://www.wikiocity.com/api.php?';

$myvars = 'action=move&format=xml&from=' . "$param1" . '&to=' . "$param2" . '&reason=' . "$param3" . '&token=' . urlencode($token);



$ch = curl_init( $url );

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $myvars);

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'MyCoolTool/1.1 (http://example.com/MyCoolTool/; MyCoolTool@example.com) BasedOnSuperLib/1.4');

curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);



$response = curl_exec( $ch );

$output = "moved $param1 to $param2 - $myvars - $response";

Am I missing something in the code, or could I have a setting wrong somewhere?

Any help would be hugely appreciated!
