PHP cURL request

{  
   $c = curl_init();
   curl_setopt( $c , CURLOPT_URL , $url);

PHP-Curl

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST, count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
//check the result
var_dump($result);

php curl request

$ch = curl_init();
$curlConfig = array(
    CURLOPT_URL            => "http://www.example.com/yourscript.php",
    CURLOPT_POST           => true,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS     => array(
        'field1' => 'some date',
        'field2' => 'some other data',
    )
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlConfig);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

Php CURL

$ch = curl_init('http://example.com/image.php');
$fp = fopen('/my/folder/flower.gif', 'wb');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

php use curl

It is important to notice that when using curl to post form data and you use an array for CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option, the post will be in multipart format

<?php
$params=['name'=>'John', 'surname'=>'Doe', 'age'=>36)
$defaults = array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'http://myremoteservice/', 
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $params,
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, ($options + $defaults));
?>
This produce the following post header:

--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"

Jhon
--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="surnname"

Doe
--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="age"

36
--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566--

Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS as follow produce a standard post header

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => http_build_query($params),

Which is:
name=John&surname=Doe&age=36

This caused me 2 days of debug while interacting with a java service which was sensible to this difference, while the equivalent one in php got both format without problem.

php curl

$data = json_encode(array(
    "ShortCode" => "600981",
    "ResponseType" => "Completed",
    "ConfirmationURL" => "https://mydomainx.com/confirmation",
    "ValidationURL" => "https://mydomainx.com/validation",
));

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
