curl post api对api的请求没有使用php

Question

I am trying to send a push notification using my own API using below code. I am sure curl was enabled in my server. I am getting below as a response.

        $url = "http://efpushtest.meteor.com/api/push";

        # Our new data
        $data = json_encode(array(
                'message' => "this is venkat test push message",
                'device' => "12345"
        ));

        $ch = curl_init($url);

        # Setting our options
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

        # Get the response
        $result = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

Response:

{"success":false,"message":"Unexpected token u"}

I am not getting where i am going wrong with this code.

Since you say in the comment that it is expecting post parameters, your request should not be json encoded as in your code. A proper way to handle that would be to post the fields like so:

    $url = "http://efpushtest.meteor.com/api/push";

    # Our new data
    $data = array(
            'message' => "this is venkat test push message",
            'device' => "12345"
    );

    $ch = curl_init($url);

    // build the post string here
    foreach($data as $key=>$value) { 
        $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; 
    }

    rtrim($fields_string, '&');

    # Setting our options
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($data));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields_string);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    # Get the response
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

where you are actually posting the parameters as POST parameters passing them in the form a string as you would see in GET. Your example would post:

message=this is venkat test push message&device=12345

If i were you, i would also update the array declaration so it passes url_encoded values to the post as in:

    $data = array(
            'message' => urlencode("this is venkat test push message"),
            'device' => urlencode("12345")
    );

to prevent any special characters in the string to break your requests

OLD ANSWER FOR JSON

Try setting the headers of the curl request to specify that you are posting a `json` to the api # Setting our options curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json')); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
