PHP I want to send the post data by Codeigniter, How to make the post request?

Question

I am developing the web server using other service by CodeIgniter. So I am going to send the data to the service using api calling. But I have a issue to make the request.

This is the data what I want to send.

$datastr = 'proc_name=customer_upd&params={ 
"proc_info":
{ 
    "proc_division":"U"
}, 
"data":[{ 
    "table_name":"Customer", 
    "rows":[ {
                    "itemId" : "12231551",
                    "lastName" : "ads",
                    "firstName" : "fds"
   } ] 
}] 
}'

I made my code for this.

$curl = curl_init('https://webapi.ooo.com/access/');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8'));

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);  
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $datastr);
curl_exec($curl);

But this is not work. I am tested by postman, but it works well. I think there is a issue to make the post request. Please help me. Thank you.

Ok then, so how about the documentation for it. You have to know that because you are posting data to it. So you would have to know what to be sending to it? — TimBrownlaw, Nov 05 '17 at 06:52

I think you are sending query string, instead, send only data in the key-value pair to the web service you are consuming. Check in which form web service is accepting the data. First, check web service from postman

Here is an example,

$data = array("key_1" =>value_1 , "key_2" =>"value_2" , "key_3" =>"value_3" , "key_4" =>"value_4" , "key_5" =>"value_5" );

 function api($url,$api,$data)
 {
                $ch = curl_init();
                $webservicelink = $url.$api;
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $webservicelink);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data));
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(                                                                          
                'Content-Type: application/json'));      
                $result = curl_exec($ch);
                return json_decode($result, true);
 }
