How to receive and store CURL username with PHP - php

Question

I have the command:
curl -k -u **username:password** --request POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "{\"name\":\"John\",\"age\":\"31\",\"test\":\"New York\"}" http://siteteste.com/receive.php
I want to get the server-side username and password with PHP.
I am using the POST method.
My PHP:
<?php
// Only allow POST requests
***// I want the username and password here with PHP POST.***
***$user = $_POST[""]; // Not working :(***
if (strtoupper($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']) != 'POST') {
throw new Exception('Only POST requests are allowed');
}
// Make sure Content-Type is application/json
$content_type = isset($_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE']) ? $_SERVER['CONTENT_TYPE'] : '';
if (stripos($content_type, 'application/json') === false) {
throw new Exception('Content-Type must be application/json');
}
// Read the input stream
$body = file_get_contents("php://input");
// Decode the JSON object
$object = json_decode($body, true);
// Throw an exception if decoding failed
if (!is_array($object)) {
throw new Exception('Failed to decode JSON object');
}
// Display the object
$getit = $object['test'];
print $getit;
How can I do it?
I try, but not working.
I search StackOverflow and others site, but not found informatio

Your body is json-encoded.
You will get your data here:
$body = file_get_contents("php://input");
// Decode the JSON object
$object = json_decode($body, true);
var_dump($object); // <-- do this to view your data.
The -u option you are using is used for authentication. For example for http-authentication.
In case you want to add data, you have to modify your -d parameter. For example, here i added a user:
-d "{\"name\":\"John\",\"age\":\"31\",\"test\":\"New York\",\"user\":\"test-user\"}"
Or in the other case you really want the http-authentication-data use:
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']
