php api call code example

Example 1: create curl api request php with para

// create & initialize a curl session
$curl = curl_init();

// set our url with curl_setopt()
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "api.example.com");

// return the transfer as a string, also with setopt()
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

// curl_exec() executes the started curl session
// $output contains the output string
$output = curl_exec($curl);

// close curl resource to free up system resources
// (deletes the variable made by curl_init)
curl_close($curl);

Example 2: create curl api request php with para

function callAPI($method, $url, $data){
   $curl = curl_init();
   switch ($method){
