Hello,  
I would create my own chat, and have two files (index.html, and server.php):

```auto

            const data = JSON.stringify({ message: userInput, apiKey: apiKey });
            xhr.send(data);

            // Eingabefeld zurücksetzen
            document.getElementById('user-input').value = '';
        }
    </script>

</html>

```

and the php file server.php

```auto
<?php
// POST-Daten empfangen
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
$user_message = $data['message'];
$api_key = $data['apiKey']; // Den API-Key aus der Anfrage abrufen

if (!$api_key) {
    echo json_encode(['response' => 'Kein API-Key vorhanden.']);
    exit();
}

// Anfrage an OpenAI senden
$openai_url = 'https://api.openai.com/v1/completions';
$prompt = "User: $user_message\nAI:";

$options = [
    'http' => [
        'header' => [
            "Content-Type: application/json",
            "Authorization: Bearer $api_key",
        ],
        'method' => 'POST',
        'content' => json_encode([
            'prompt' => $prompt,
            'max_tokens' => 150,
            'temperature' => 0.7,
            'model' => 'gpt-3.5-turbo'
        ]),
    ]
];

$context = stream_context_create($options);
$response = file_get_contents($openai_url, false, $context);

// Antwort parsen und zurückgeben
if ($response === FALSE) {
    $error = error_get_last(); // Detaillierte Fehlernachricht abrufen
    echo json_encode(['response' => 'Fehler beim Abrufen der Antwort von der OpenAI API.', 'error' => $error]);
    exit();
} else {
    $result = json_decode($response, true);
    $assistant_response = $result['choices'][0]['text'];
    echo json_encode(['error' => trim($assistant_response)]);
}

```

when I go to the browser, and save the api key, I get Error on Line: “if ($response === FALSE) {”.  
So the Question is, how can I setup API and or fix the logging problem ?

Heya. Welcome back. Good to see you again.

Are you getting an error message? I haven’t looked at your code, but checking the return object for an error message or checking server error logs might help.

above the response: “Fehler beim Abrufen der Antwort von der OpenAI API.”  
This is German, and translated to English: “Error during request the response from the OpenAI API.”

So, it looks like the API-key does not fit in case.  
I have create a new security project key (user keys are out of date), copied this to the clipboard, and from there into the HTML Application.

Then save the key with the “Speichern” Button.  
And when I enter text into the input line, and click the send button, the response will be empty.

Either my code is wrong, or something else goes on there.

I’d try to get the error code in the response, but it sounds like a 429 or you didn’t set the new API key up with the right permissions?

Here’s a list of all the error codes for reference…

[https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/error-codes)

I’m guessing one of these?

> 401 - Incorrect API key provided **Cause:** The requesting API key is not correct.  
> **Solution:** Ensure the API key used is correct, clear your browser cache, or [generate a new one](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys).  
> 401 - You must be a member of an organization to use the API **Cause:** Your account is not part of an organization.  
> **Solution:** Contact us to get added to a new organization or ask your organization manager to [invite you to an organization](https://platform.openai.com/account/team).  
> 403 - Country, region, or territory not supported **Cause:** You are accessing the API from an unsupported country, region, or territory.  
> **Solution:** Please see [this page](https://platform.openai.com/docs/supported-countries) for more information.  
> 429 - Rate limit reached for requests **Cause:** You are sending requests too quickly.  
> **Solution:** Pace your requests. Read the [Rate limit guide](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/rate-limits).  
> 429 - You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details **Cause:** You have run out of credits or hit your maximum monthly spend.  
> **Solution:** [Buy more credits](https://platform.openai.com/account/billing) or learn how to [increase your limits](https://platform.openai.com/account/limits).

I check the error result:

file\_get\_contents([https://api.openai.com/v1/completions](https://api.openai.com/v1/completions)): Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

so the api url is not correct ?

Sounds like it. Sorry, I didn’t look closely at your code.

I’d check Model Endpoint Compatibility in the docs.

[https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/model-endpoint-compatibility](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models/model-endpoint-compatibility)

Are you using old code?

> [@paule32.jk](#):
>
> `$response = file_get_contents($openai_url, false, $context);`

Think you need to use cURL and not send POST request…

I’d look around for current example. The API Docs should have current PHP code… or cURL…

I don’t have a ton of time at the moment, but I would check the docs.

I shared some PHP / cURL code here but for DALLE model…

> After a request the other day from @Daller, I threw together a quick and simple solution with just two PHP files—one for the backend, one for the form—and some vanilla JavaScript (no libraries, just good old AJAX and cURL). Kept it basic to make things easy for those new to DALLE API. The images are pulled from a URL that DALL·E 3 gives you, but they won’t last forever, so you’ll want to download them if you want to hang onto them. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can modify the code to s…

Might give you some pointers, though! 😉
