What error are you getting? Also I would recommend using the PHP Client that Geotab created if you haven't looked at it yet. It should simplify a lot of what you're doing. Also if you decide not to use it (we didn't in our php project), I would recommend using something like Guzzle to make your requests.
there is no error now but now i am getting the reponse no device-info found
and thankyou for response
Can you send a screenshot of the output of your script please?
this is the result
I don't see anything wrong with the script at first glance, have you tried debugging it? What's in $statusInfos after the request?
Thankyou for your response
Authentication Response:Array
(
[result] => Array

[credentials] => Array

[database] => ********
[sessionId] => MyZpooV-eDib8WT5q7lIUA

)
[jsonrpc] => 2.0
)
DeviceStatusInfo Response:Array
(
[error] => Array
(
[message] => The Credentials object is missing or empty.
[code] => -32000
[data] => Array

[0] => Array
(
[message] => The Credentials object is missing or empty.
[name] => ArgumentException
)
)
)
[jsonrpc] => 2.0
[requestIndex] => 0
)
after debuggung i get this
Oh one thing I didn't notice before is that if you have a session_id, you're not sending the username with it. so your credentials array isn't correct (and I think it might need to be an object based on the response, but not 100% sure on that). The session is tied to a user, so you need to include both. I would really recommend switching to use the php client that I linked in the other post because it will handle things like this for you and really simplify this for you. If you want to do anything more complex than this simple script, it will end up saving you a ton of time. Let me know if fixing the credentials also fixes this issue. If it doesn't, can you send the responses again?
Thanks,
Tucker
ok i will try thankyou😇
