Send json post using php
You can use CURL for this purpose see the example code:
$url = "your url";
$content = json_encode("your data to be sent");
$curl = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
array("Content-type: application/json"));
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content);
$json_response = curl_exec($curl);
$status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
if ( $status != 201 ) {
die("Error: call to URL $url failed with status $status, response $json_response, curl_error " . curl_error($curl) . ", curl_errno " . curl_errno($curl));
}
curl_close($curl);
$response = json_decode($json_response, true);
Without using any external dependency or library:
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => json_encode( $data ),
'header'=> "Content-Type: application/json\r\n" .
"Accept: application/json\r\n"
)
);
$context = stream_context_create( $options );
$result = file_get_contents( $url, false, $context );
$response = json_decode( $result );
$response is an object. Properties can be accessed as usual, e.g. $response->...
where $data is the array contaning your data:
$data = array(
'userID' => 'a7664093-502e-4d2b-bf30-25a2b26d6021',
'itemKind' => 0,
'value' => 1,
'description' => 'Boa saudaÁ„o.',
'itemID' => '03e76d0a-8bab-11e0-8250-000c29b481aa'
);
Warning: this won't work if the allow_url_fopen setting is set to Off in the php.ini.
