Hi all

I have a PHP script that sends some data to a title in vmix then triggers that title as an overlay , see below

Code:
$newtitle = htmlspecialchars($_GET["radio_off"]);
$apiurl = 'http://192.168.0.88:8088/API/?Function=SetText&Input=subs&Selectedindex=3&Value=';
$result = file_get_contents($apiurl . urlencode($newtitle), FALSE, NULL);

$newtitlea = htmlspecialchars($_GET["radio_on"]);
$apiurl = 'http://192.168.0.88:8088/API/?Function=SetText&Input=subs&Selectedindex=4&Value=';
$result = file_get_contents($apiurl . urlencode($newtitlea), FALSE, NULL);

$apiurl = 'http://192.168.0.88:8088/API/?Function=OverlayInput1&Input=subs';
$result = file_get_contents($apiurl , FALSE, NULL);


As you can see I'm having to send three commands, one for each line of the title and one to fire the title.

Is there a way in the Vmix API syntax to send it all in one go as currently, PHP waits for each file_get_contents to timeout before running the next line, so slowing the whole process down, as a bodge in the top of my script i set
Code:
ini_set("default_socket_timeout", 1);
to at least try and keep things down to a few seconds overall.

Also whilst I'm at it what is the best PHP function to use to send to Vmix file_get_contents seems a bit of a clunky way of doing it .

cheers

Ian
