I'm having a bit of an issue with curl. It simply wont take $variables.. Kindly assist. The rest of the curl request is correct and I've managed to isolate it
Here is what I've tried
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{\"msisdn\":$msisdn, \"transactionId\": $_id, \"transactionAmount\": $amount}",
$payload = json_encode(array("msisdn"=> $s_msisdn,"transactionId"=>$_id, "transactionAmount"=>$_amount));
...
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $payload,
EDIT: Full request
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_PORT => "5001",
CURLOPT_URL => "http://123.123.23.11:5001/demo",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "{\"msisdn\":"'.$_msisdn.'", \"transactionId\": "'.$_id.'", \"transactionAmount\": "'.$_amount.'"}",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"authorization: Basic abcdefgh",
"content-type: application/json",
),
));
