Here's how you execute a POST using the PHP CURL library.
//define post values
$message="test message ";//define post url
$url="http://localhost/WebServices/";//encode the message
$message = urlencode($message);//initialize the curl
$ch = curl_init();
if (!$ch){
die("Couldn't initialize a cURL handle");
}//setting options
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);//setup post fields
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,"Message=$message");
$ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);//If you are behind proxy then please uncomment below line and provide your proxy ip with port.
// $ret = curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, "PROXY IP ADDRESS:PORT");
//execute and geting response
$curlresponse = curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_errno($ch))
echo 'curl error : '. curl_error($ch);
if (empty($ret)) {
// some kind of an error happened
die(curl_error($ch));
curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler
} else {
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch); // close cURL handler
//echo "<br>";
echo $curlresponse; //echo "post message Sent Succesfully" ;
}
}
