Does anybody have a PHP example of using the VirusTotal.com public API for URL scanning?
The API is available here: http://www.virustotal.com/advanced.html
There's a Python/JSON example, but I'm not experienced with either :(

A:
All you need is to retreive the report json using file_get_contents this way :
$json = file_get_contents('https://www.virustotal.com/api/get_url_report.json');
Then use json_decode to convert your json into a php array:
$array = json_decode($json);
to see results :
var_dump($array);
to post data use curl, related question.

You can't make POST requests like this. Without the needed parameters, the site just returns `None`.

@svens, are you talking about posting data via CURL ?

More is needed than that. Please see the sections "Retrieve a URL scan report" and "Submit and scan a URL" under Public API on http://www.virustotal.com/advanced.html.

All is about sending parameters using POST, a good tutorial : http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/sending-post-form-data-with-php-curl.html
