how to pass authorization token in header in php

Question

i am trying to pass the authorization token in my php page. The code i am using is as below:

function getValues(){

    $path='webservice path';

    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$path);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,1);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization: Basic token_no'));

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: text/xml'));

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'));

    $retValue = curl_exec($ch);

    $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    curl_close($ch);

    return $retValue;

}

but i am not able to include the header. Please help me out with this problem.

What is the problem? What errors are you getting? What are you expecting to get? What is the authorization value (`Basic token_no` will cause errors)? Please put together a question. — Sverri M. Olsen, Feb 06 '13 at 10:14

You should only set CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER once, with an array containing all headers.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
    array(
         'Authorization: Basic token_no',
         'Content-type: text/xml',
         'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'
    ));

What isn't working exactly? Remember `token_no` has to be a base64 encoded token. Are you certain that the headers are your issue? You can test that headers are being set by firing off the same request to a local URL, and logging the headers. – Rudi Visser Feb 06 '13 at 10:32
