I am new to PHP and am trying to figure out how to send some JSON data to a client server using a POST request in PHP. I have a username and password that I am supposed to use to send the information with basic authentication. Below is the code I have so far, I just put a sample for username, password, and url for security purposed. Can someone please help me figure out what I missed? Also can anyone explain or send me in the direction of documentation that can help me understand how this works? Google has been no help. And is there a way I can verify that the request actually went through?
//Post request to post JSON file to client server
$login = 'myusername';
$password = 'mypassword';
$url = 'https://myurl.com';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $encoded_array);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$login:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($encoded_array))
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
New Version of Code:
//Post request to post JSON file to client server
$login = 'myusername';
$password = 'mypassword';
$url = 'https://myurl';
$ch = curl_init($url);
$encoded_array=json_encode($final_array);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $encoded_array);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($encoded_array))
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $login . ":" . $password);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo "<pre>$result</pre>";
This new version still gives me an error when I run it in the browser saying "Fail. Please try Again." I think The issue is with the credentials.
