undefined constant CURLOPT_GET - assumed 'CURLOPT_GET'

Question

I am building my first ever project from scratch on a lamp stack. I decided to try out the slim api framework. Below you can see i start building a helper function for my api. However I am getting this

error: undefined constant CURLOPT_GET - assumed 'CURLOPT_GET'

and then this

error: curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given

// Main Gospel Blocks API Call Function
Function gbCall($gbRoute) {
        // JSON Headers
  $gblCallHeaders[] = "Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8";

    // Call the API
    $gblCall = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_URL, $GLOBALS['gbApiUrl'] . $gbRoute);
    curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_GET, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $gblCallHeaders);

    // Get the response
    $response = curl_exec($gblCall);

    // Close cURL connection
    curl_close($gblCall);

    // Decode the response (Transform it to an Array)
    $response = json_decode($response, true);

    // Return response
    return $response;
}

The api I am hitting is just json encoded objects, not quite sure why this isn't returning the json...

Answer 1

Try using CURLOPT_HTTPGET though I am not sure if it serves your purpose.

Answer 2

It happens when phpxxx-curl was not installed in your machine
