add basic authorization to php curl script

Question

How do I add basic authorization to my below php script? I am trying to send data to an API

$ch = curl_init();
$token = 'eyJpZCI6MTExOCwiZW52IXXXXXXXXJzaWQiOjYsImFsZyI6IkhTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiJhZG1pbkBtaW5leDXXXXXXXTAsImV4cCI6MTU0ODk0ODgxMH0.owTm-ItzXnpqVSFbXXXXXXXXXX';
$authorization = "Authorization: Bearer ".$token; // Prepare the authorisation token

$curlConfig = array(
    CURLOPT_URL            => "https://api.endpoint.com",
    CURLOPT_POST           => true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => array(
        'From' => 'HI',
        'To' => '024XXXXXXX',
        'Content' => 'hello there'
    )
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result

its not auth basic, thats a jwt, so should be used in header — Lawrence Cherone, Jan 24 '19 at 22:24

I guess this will work (I'm not sure, as I never used Authorization)...

$ch = curl_init();
$token = 'eyJpZCI6MTExOCwiZW52IXXXXXXXXJzaWQiOjYsImFsZyI6IkhTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiJhZG1pbkBtaW5leDXXXXXXXTAsImV4cCI6MTU0ODk0ODgxMH0.owTm-ItzXnpqVSFbXXXXXXXXXX';

$curlConfig = array(
    CURLOPT_URL            => "https://api.endpoint.com",
    CURLOPT_POST           => true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => array(
        'From' => 'HI',
        'To' => '024XXXXXXX',
        'Content' => 'hello there'
    )
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    "Authorization: Bearer ".$token
));
curl_close($ch);
echo $result

That's it?
