How to get data in php curl with square brackets query?

Question

I try to get data with libcurl in PHP and my query, value in query, contains query brackets

?conditions[prs_id]=7&conditions[date]=[2019-03-26 TO 2019-04-03]&page=1&limit=1

When I send this with Postman I get object, but with curl i get error 400 which says this is bad request. but with

?conditions[prs_id]=7&conditions[date]=2019-03-26

I get answer and requested objects. So The problem is with value with brackets [2019-03-26 TO 2019-04-03]

I tried with url encoding, changing brackets to url codes but it won't worked.

How to properly send this with libcurl in PHP? in Postman works

Postman can give you the answer. You can use the show code function and select PHP > curl — eyecatchUp, Apr 02 '19 at 09:04
Might be due to how the spaces get encoded - `+` or `%20`, maybe the receiver only likes one specific version. — 04FS, Apr 02 '19 at 09:05

no, this in not answer for my question, I'm using libcurl not cURL — nicram, Apr 02 '19 at 09:07

This is a hint, thanks. so brackets in value aren't encoded `conditions[psr_id]=7& conditions[date]=[2019-03-26 TO 2019-04-03]& page=1& limit=1 HTTP/1.1`. — nicram, Apr 02 '19 at 09:11

Try using urlencode() function in the query. I am not sure it will work or not but you can give it a try

the problem with urlencode() was becuse I encoded full query and It didn't work. Now I encode only part of data `"%5B2019-03-26+TO+2019-04-03%5D"` and this work – nicram Apr 02 '19 at 09:39
