Curl returns true instead of value

Question

I\'m trying to make a simple API. However, not sure why but I\'m getting true instead of the value that should be returned.

Here\'s the curl code.

tr         


        

Answer 1

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); you need to put that to return data in proper format also you can check datatype of your output using gettype($string);

Answer 2

You need to echo not return:

echo $_POST['auth_token'];

And you need CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to have curl_exec() return the content:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_exec

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. However, if the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option is set, it will return the result on success, FALSE on failure.
