CURL Get Request with a parameter that contains a GET url
I'm trying to make a cURL GET to scrape a Facebook Graph object: GET https://graph.facebook.com/?id=**OBJECT_URL**&scrape=true&method=post In my case, OBJECT_URL contains GET parameters: https://www.example.com/og.php?a=b&c=d For that reason I can't have it as a GET parameter in file_get_contents() or CURLOPT_URL , as it'd turn out something like this: https://graph.facebook.com/?id=**https://www.example.com/og.php?a=b&c=d**&scrape=true&method=post Is there a way to pass it as a GET parameter in a way similar to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS ? You need to escape your parameters, the http_build_query
