Using JSON DATA with CURL

client.php

    'abc','password'=>'123'];
$data = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init();
$curlConfig = array(
    CURLOPT_URL            => $url,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => array('Content-Type: application/json'),
    CURLOPT_POST           => true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => $data
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;  //here you get result like: username: abc and password: 123
?>
