How to POST JSON Data With PHP cURL?

Question

Here is my code,

$url = \'url_to_post\';
$data = array(
    \"first_name\" => \"First name\",
    \"last_name\" => \"last name\",
    \"email\"=>\"e         


        

Answer 1

Replace

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array("customer"=>$data_string));

with:

$data_string = json_encode(array("customer"=>$data));
//Send blindly the json-encoded string.
//The server, IMO, expects the body of the HTTP request to be in JSON
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);

I dont get what you meant by "other page", I hope it is the page at: 'url_to_post'. If that page is written in PHP, the JSON you just posted above will be read in the below way:

$jsonStr = file_get_contents("php://input"); //read the HTTP body.
$json = json_decode($jsonStr);
