cURL not working with POST data

Question

I am trying to debug this, but I\'ve had no luck. Am I sending the POST data correctly?

if (isset($_POST[\'chrisBox\'])) {

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($cur

The parameters sent in a $_POST request need to be in the form of -

key=value&foo=bar

You can use PHP's http-build-query function for this. It'll create a query string from an array.

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($_POST));

If you only want to pass one parameter, you'll still need to wrap it in an array or object.

$params = array(
  'stack'=>'overflow'
);

http_build_query($params);     // stack=overflow
