PHP cURL GET request and request's body
The accepted answer is wrong. GET
requests can indeed contain a body. This is the solution implemented by WordPress, as an example:
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET' );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $body );
EDIT: To clarify, the initial curl_setopt
is necessary in this instance, because libcurl will default the HTTP method to POST
when using CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
(see documentation).
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
as the name suggests, is for the body (payload) of a POST
request. For GET
requests, the payload is part of the URL in the form of a query string.
In your case, you need to construct the URL with the arguments you need to send (if any), and remove the other options to cURL.
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->service_url.'user/'.$id_user);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
//$body = '{}';
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$body);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
<?php
$post = ['batch_id'=> "2"];
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'https://example.com/student_list.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($post));
$response = curl_exec($ch);
$result = json_decode($response);
curl_close($ch); // Close the connection
$new= $result->status;
if( $new =="1")
{
echo "<script>alert('Student list')</script>";
}
else
{
echo "<script>alert('Not Removed')</script>";
}
?>
