如何使用-d选项执行PHP curl post

Question

I need to post to an application with one of the data is xml string. To pass the & and special characters, the application suggests to curl post with -d option.

How do pass -d option with PHP curl?

Answer 1

The -d flag is the POST Data flag.

To send POST fields using curl via PHP do the following:

$ch = curl_init( $url );
# Setup request to send xml via POST.
$payload =  "xmlRequest=" . urlencode($input_xml);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload );
# Return response instead of printing.
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
# Send request.
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

You'll get your XML in the "xmlRequest" on the other side.
