Using Curl with PHP Command line to PHP - php

Question

This works from the command line how do I convert this to PHP I have tried anything but nothing seems to work.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer APIKEY" https://www.gocanvas.com/apiv2/forms.xml -F 'username=XXXXXXX#XXXXXXXXXX.com'
Here is a function I have tried.
function getgocan(){
$url = 'https://www.gocanvas.com/apiv2/forms.xml?username=XXXXX#XXXXXXXXXX.com';
$ch = curl_init();
$jsonData = array(
'text' => ''
);
$jsonDataEncoded = json_encode($jsonData, true);
$header = array();
$header[] = "APIKEY";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonDataEncoded);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($result);
}

-F sends form fields in the POST data, not URL query parameters. So you need to put username=XXX into CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, and it shouldn't be JSON.
You can give an associative array to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, and it will encode it automatically.
function getgocan(){
$url = 'https://www.gocanvas.com/apiv2/forms.xml';
$ch = curl_init();
$params = array(
'username' => 'username=XXXXX#XXXXXXXXXX.com'
);
$header = array(
'Authorization: Bearer APIKEY'
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($$result);
}
