Using Shopify API to create product in PHP

Question

Thanks a lot for your solutions. I am using Shopify API along with PHP CURL POST Method to create product. The following is the code and output.

$products_array = array(
    "product"=>array(
        'title'=>'',
        "title"=> "Burton Custom Freestlye 151",
        "body_html"=> "<strong>Good snowboard!</strong>",
        "vendor"=> "Burton",
        "product_type"=> "Snowboard",
        "published"=> false ,
        "variants"=>array(
                        array(
                        "sku"=>"t_009",
                        "price"=>20.00,
                        "grams"=>200,
                        "taxable"=>false,
                        )
        )
    )
);
echo json_encode($products_array);
echo "<br />";
$url = "https://apikey:password@hostname/admin/products.json";

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept: application/json'));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 0);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($products_array));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$response = curl_exec ($curl);
curl_close ($curl);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($response); 

Where I am using my credentials given in $url part. I am getting following error

{"product":{"title":"Burton Custom Freestlye 151","body_html":"Good snowboard!<\/strong>","vendor":"Burton","product_type":"Snowboard","published":false,"variants":[{"sku":"t_009","price":20,"grams":200,"taxable":false}]}}
