How to Simulate JSon POST Request Using PHP and CURL
Basically, im trying to do a PHP POST request using JSon string as its format and able to consume JSon array string as responses. Dont forget to activate CURL in your php.ini file.
<?php
//set POST variables address and json string
$url = 'http://localhost:81/dudu.php';
$fields = array(
'userName'=>'yyy@xxx.com',
'password'=>'yyyy',
'emailProvider'=>'xxxx'
);
//{"userName":"yyy@xxx.com","password":"yyyy","emailProvider":"xxxx"}
//url-ify the data for the JSON POST
$fields_string = json_encode($fields);
//open connection
$ch = curl_init();
//set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER , 1);
//execute post
$jsonResult = curl_exec($ch);
//close connection
curl_close($ch);
// [{"name":0,"email":"yyy@xxx.com"},{"name":1,"email":"yyy@xxx.com"},
// {"name":2,"email":"yyy@xxx.com"},{"name":3,"email":"yyy@xxx.com"}]
$results = json_decode($jsonResult, true);
foreach ( $results as $result )
{
echo "name : {$result['name']} and email {$result['email']} <br />";
}
?>
This is what my browser will look like after im testing my JSon POST
Have fun with CURL 🙂
