$headers = array();

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");

var_dump($result);
curl_close($curl);
I have the code above, i want to post to an api. Somehow its not working. I tried using a var_dump on the result variable. The result is:
string(117) "{"Message":"The request entity's media type 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' is not supported for this resource."}"
Any idea why its not posting to the api?
The value of the $post=
{"AmountDebit":10,"Currency":"EUR","Invoice":"testinvoice 123","Services":{"ServiceList":[{"Action":"Pay","Name":"ideal","Parameters":[{"Name":"issuer","Value":"ABNANL2A"}]}]}}
Headers:
$headers[] = 'Authorization: hmac ' .$websiteKey.':'.$hmac .':'.$nonce . ':'.$time;
If you don't specify a Content-Type header when making a POST call with Curl, it will add one in with the value application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
From the Everything Curl book:
POSTing with curl's -d option will make it include a default header that looks like Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded. That's what your typical browser will use for a plain POST.
Many receivers of POST data don't care about or check the Content-Type header.
If that header is not good enough for you, you should, of course, replace that and instead provide the correct one.
Judging by your request, I imagine you'll need to add the following to the top of your script:
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
But depending on the exact API you're posting to, this might need to be different.
Have You installed curl before using it. If it not install try google for Curl installation and use my curl function for post request its 100% working-
public function curlPostJson() {
$headers = [];
$headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
$headers[] = 'Content-Length: ' .strlen(json_encode($paramdata));
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($paramdata));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
$server_output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return json_decode($server_output);
}
