如何使用PHP访问Jax-RS中的REST服务

Question

I Developed a REST Service in Jax-RS, and I have some functions that use the POST method, like:

1. Auth_User()
2. Get_List()
3. Insert_Data(id,name,data)

I need to access these functions using PHP cURL. What I basically need is to work the functions from the PHP files, so that my REST Service can work like Facebook App development.

how can I do this using cURL?

You can use the CURL library with it's wide range of options to perform GET/POST/HEAD etc. requests that you would need to communicate with your REST server.

As for parsing data, you would have to take a look at either json_decode() if you get json objects back, or e.g. SimpleXml if you need to parse it as XML.

See this site here for a decent example of querying the yahoo REST api in php/curl:
