    $data = array();
    $data['company_name'] = "company_name";
    $data['last_date_apply'] = "06/12/2015";

        }

i am getting error on vendor/guzzlehttp/guzzle/src/Middleware.php

Answer 1

You're not actually setting the request body, but arguably the easiest way to transfer JSON data is by using the dedicated request option:

$request = $client->post($url, [
    'json' => [
        'company_name' => 'company_name',
        'last_date_apply' => '06/12/2015',
        'rid' => '89498',
    ],
]);

Answer 2

You need to use json_encode() JSON_FORCE_OBJECT flag as the second argument. Like this:

$data = json_encode($data, JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);

Without the JSON_FORCE_OBJECT flag, it will create a json array with bracket notation instead of brace notation.

Also, try sending a request like this:

$request = $client->post($url, [
    'headers' => [ 'Content-Type' => 'application/json' ],
    'body' => $data
]);
