使用PHP Curl与命令行curl的区别

Question

I am integrating the Badgeville REST API with my PHP 5.3, curl 7.22 application.

The API documentation for BV all uses command line curl calls for their examples. When I run these examples they work fine.

When I attempt to do the same thing with the PHP Curl class I always get a 500 error from the BV server.

I have tried to do the synonomous functionality with the Advanced Rest Client extension in Chrome.

PHP Curl Example:

$ch = curl_init('http://sandbox.v2.badgeville.com/api/berlin/[private_api_key]/users.json');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 3);

if($this->getRequestType() == 'POST')
{
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 
        array(
            'user[name]'    => 'Generic+Username',
            'user[email]'   => 'johndoe%40domainname.com'
        );
    );
}

$response   = curl_exec($ch);

Rest Client Example:

URL: http://sandbox.v2.badgeville.com/api/berlin/[private_api_key]/users.json

POST No Headers Payload:

user[name]=Generic+Username&user[email]=johndoe%40domainname.com

I have manually created the command line curl call and ran that with shell_exec(), but I would REALLY prefer not having to do that.

In my research I found a Drupal module and all the API calls are done through fsockopen() calls.

Is there some way to do successfully make Badgeville calls using the PHP Curl class?

As it turns out Badgeville has a 500 error when a curl request comes in that has headers set.

Error returning code:

$ch = curl_init('http://sandbox.v2.badgeville.com/api/berlin/[private_api_key]/users.json');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 3);

if($this->getRequestType() == 'POST')
{
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 
        array(
            'user[name]'    => 'Generic+Username',
            'user[email]'   => 'johndoe%40domainname.com'
        );
    );
}

$response   = curl_exec($ch);

Properly functioning code:

$ch = curl_init('http://sandbox.v2.badgeville.com/api/berlin/[private_api_key]/users.json');
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 3);

if($this->getRequestType() == 'POST')
{
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 
        array(
            'user[name]'    => 'Generic+Username',
            'user[email]'   => 'johndoe%40domainname.com'
        );
    );
}

$response   = curl_exec($ch);
