Curl and PHP - How to Pass a Json Through Curl by Put,Post,Get

Curl and PHP - how can I pass a json through curl by PUT,POST,GET

PUT

$data = array('username'=>'dog','password'=>'tall');
$data_json = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json','Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_json)));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response  = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

POST

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response  = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

GET
See @Dan H answer

DELETE

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$data_json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response  = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

POST JSON Body with CURL in PHP

Finally found the solution based on trial error and googling everywhere

<?php

$curl = curl_init();
$data = 
[
    "to_number"=>'62111111111',
    "to_name"=>'Mr X',
    "message_template_id"=>'abc123abc123',
    "channel_integration_id"=>'123abc123abc',
    "language"=> 
    [
        "code"=>"id"
    ],
    "parameters"=>
    [
        "body" =>
        [ 
            [
                "key"=>"1",
                "value"=>"name",
                "value_text"=>"Mr X"
            ],
            [
                "key"=>"2",
                "value"=>"vehiclereg",
                "value_text"=>"L0001X"
            ],
            [
                "key"=>"3",
                "value"=>"date",
                "value_text"=>"29 Februari 2022"
            ]
        ]
    ]
];
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Authorization: Bearer 1122334455',
    'target_channel: tria;'
    ),
CURLOPT_URL => 'https://chat-service.com/api/direct',
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'POST',
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => 0,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => 0,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode($data)
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

echo "<pre>";
print_r($response);
?>

How to post JSON to PHP with curl

Jordans analysis of why the $_POST-array isn't populated is correct. However, you can use

$data = file_get_contents("php://input");

to just retrieve the http body and handle it yourself. See PHP input/output streams.

From a protocol perspective this is actually more correct, since you're not really processing http multipart form data anyway. Also, use application/json as content-type when posting your request.

Post a JSON object from PHP using cUrl

Post json objectusing curl.

$data = array('value1' => $value1, 'value2' => $value2);                                                                    
$data_string = json_encode($data);                                                                                   

$ch = curl_init('http://api.local/rest/users');   // where to post                                                                   
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");                                                                     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);                                                                  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);                                                                      
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(                                                                          
    'Content-Type: application/json',                                                                                
    'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))                                                                       
);                                                                                                                   

$result = curl_exec($ch);

Sending json file through Http Post curl

The JSON that you send is in the request body. The keys/values will not be available in the $_REQUEST array, hence why you are getting the error. You will need to access the request body in order to get the sessionId property.

$requestBody = file_get_contents('php://input');
$session = json_decode($requestBody);
$sesionId = $session["sessionId"];
echo "Session ID: $sessionId";

The file_get_contents('php://input') returns the body of the POST request.

Make sure to also add the appropriate Content-Type header to your post request:

curl -X POST -k -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -w "%{body}" -w "%{http_code}" -d "@/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/myFolder/session.json" http://mypage.com/myFolder/newfile.php`

How do I POST JSON data with cURL?

You need to set your content-type to application/json. But -d (or --data) sends the Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded, which is not accepted on Spring's side.

Looking at the curl man page, I think you can use -H (or --header):

-H "Content-Type: application/json"

Full example:

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"username":"xyz","password":"xyz"}' \
  http://localhost:3000/api/login

(-H is short for --header, -d for --data)

Note that -request POST is optional if you use -d, as the -d flag implies a POST request.

On Windows, things are slightly different. See the comment thread.
