Send JSON data via POST with PHP cURLInitiate 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. Set the Content-Type of request to application/json using the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER option.
cURL is a PHP library and command-line tool (similar to wget) that allows you to send and receive files over HTTP and FTP. You can use proxies, pass data over SSL connections, set cookies, and even get files that are protected by a login.
curl_exec(CurlHandle $handle ): string|bool. Execute the given cURL session. This function should be called after initializing a cURL session and all the options for the session are set.
I just found the solution, kind of answering to my own question in case anyone else stumbles upon it.
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://url/url/url" );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "body goes here" );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: text/plain'));
$result=curl_exec ($ch);
Implementation with Guzzle library:
use GuzzleHttp\Client;
use GuzzleHttp\RequestOptions;
$httpClient = new Client();
$response = $httpClient->post(
'https://postman-echo.com/post',
[
RequestOptions::BODY => 'POST raw request content',
RequestOptions::HEADERS => [
'Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
],
]
);
echo(
$response->getBody()->getContents()
);
PHP CURL extension:
$curlHandler = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curlHandler, [
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://postman-echo.com/post',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
/**
* Specify POST method
*/
CURLOPT_POST => true,
/**
* Specify request content
*/
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => 'POST raw request content',
]);
$response = curl_exec($curlHandler);
curl_close($curlHandler);
echo($response);
