phphttpcurlhttp-post

PHP, cURL, and HTTP POST example?

Can anyone show me how to do a PHP cURL with an HTTP POST?

I want to send data like this:

username=user1, password=passuser1, gender=1

To www.example.com

I expect the cURL to return a response like result=OK. Are there any examples?

Solution

  • A very simple PHP example that sends an HTTP POST request to a remote site

    $url = "http://www.example.com/tester.phtml";
$post_data = array('postvar1' => 'value1');


$ch = curl_init($url);
// return the response instead of sending it to stdout:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// set the POST data, corresponding method and headers:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post_data));
// send the request and get the response
$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
