For example, I have a PHP handle that has been initialized somewhere.

$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonData);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/json'
));

And at one point I want to know the executed raw curl request

curl_exec($ch);

// ???
some_method_to_get_raw_curl_request($ch);

Are there any built in methods that can be used for this? I tried looking in the PHP Curl Docs but can't seem to find any. If there is none, are there any other way to do this?

Describe what you mean by "raw curl request"... – miken32 Jun 08 '21 at 01:33
Postman refer to it as "raw text" when you try to import. The one that looks like this: `curl --location --request POST ...` – reikyoushin Jun 08 '21 at 01:36
There is no built-in PHP function that returns the CURL command that could be ran on a command-line. – Tiffany Jun 08 '21 at 01:37
But can it be reconstructed from the `curl_getinfo()` details? – reikyoushin Jun 08 '21 at 01:38
