PHP curl和ISIC验证（REST api）。 我该如何工作？

Question

I would like to verify whether someone has a valid ISIC card, I have written the following code for this Rest API (http://nakoduj.to/_upload/project_files/2015-08-18-12-51-20_DM%20-%20Integration%20Manual.pdf), but it doesn't work, and I have no idea why it doesn't.

$data = array(  "cardNumber" => "S123456789000A",
                        "cardholderName" => "John Doe");

$data = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://gts-dm.orchitech.net/api/verifications');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "testdm:testdm");

$result = curl_exec($ch);

if ($result === false) {
    $info = curl_getinfo($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    die('error occured during curl exec. Additioanl info: ' . var_export($info));
}

curl_close($ch);

I'm getting false for the $result always. And there is no additional information in $info.

Thank you in advance for your help

<?php

$data = [
        "cardNumber" => "S123456789000A",
        "cardholderName" => "John Doe",
        ];
$data = json_encode($data);
$header = $request_headers = [
                "Content-Type: application/json"
            ];
$curl_options = [
        CURLOPT_URL =>'https://gts-dm.orchitech.net/api/verifications',
        CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
        CURLOPT_POST => true,
        CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $data,
        CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => $header,
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,
        CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false,
        CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true,
        CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION => true,
        CURLOPT_FILETIME => true,
        CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT => true,
        CURLOPT_USERPWD => "testdm:testdm"
];
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curl_options);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($result);

The request header was not sent causing http error code 415 UnsupportedMediaTypeHttpException Hence need to add request header, working fine
