I'm very new to working with web services, and so I'm finding this pretty confusing.
If I have a URL I'm trying to post some JSON data to, I understand how to do this using the CURL PHP method.
What I'm wondering is, if I do this, and the URL has some kind of server response.. how do I get that response in my php and use it to take different actions within the PHP accordingly?
Thanks!

Functions of cURL in PHP curl_error — It will return the string which represents the error for the particular current session.
Just use the below piece of code to get the response from restful web service url, I use social mention url. Oldie bug a goodie... +1 for using curl_setopt_array(). So much cleaner than calling curl_setopt() over and over.
Send JSON data via POST with PHP cURLSpecify the URL ( $url ) where the JSON data to be sent. Initiate new cURL resource using curl_init(). Setup data in PHP array and encode into a JSON string using json_encode(). Attach JSON data to the POST fields using the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option.
You'll have to set the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option to true.
$ch = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $result = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); The response to your request will be available in the $result variable.
