Convert PHP http post request to Livecode - php

Question

I am new to Livecode and I have tried couple of things to convert this php http post request code to Livecode but not working. Will need it either with cURL or without cURL.
$receive_momo_request = array(
'CustomerName' => 'Customer Name',
'CustomerMsisdn'=> '054XXXX',
'CustomerEmail'=> 'customer#gmail.com',
'Channel'=> 'mtn-gh',
'Amount'=> 0.8,
'PrimaryCallbackUrl'=> 'http://requestb.in/1minotz1',
'Description'=> 'T Shirt',
);
//API Keys
$clientId = 'xxxxxxx';
$clientSecret = 'xxxxxxx';
$basic_auth_key = 'Basic ' . base64_encode($clientId . ':' . $clientSecret);
$request_url = 'https://api.hubtel.com/v1/merchantaccount/merchants/HMXXXXXXX/receive/mobilemoney';
$receive_momo_request = json_encode($receive_momo_request);
$ch = curl_init($request_url);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $receive_momo_request);
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Authorization: '.$basic_auth_key,
'Cache-Control: no-cache',
'Content-Type: application/json',
));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$err = curl_error($ch);
curl_close($ch);
if($err){
echo $err;
}else{
echo $result;
}
This is what I have done so far may be am missing something.
on mouseUp
global gFirstName, gLastName
put gFirstName & " " & gLastName into lFullName
put lFullName into tArray[ "CustomerName"]
put "gPhoneNumber" into tArray["CustomerMsisdn"]
put "gEmail" into tArray["CustomerEmail"]
put "airtel-gh" into tArray["Channel"]
put "0.01" into tArray["Amount"]
put "http://requestb.in/1minotz1" into tArray["PrimaryCallbackUrl"]
put "FBMC Mobile" into tArray["Description"]
put true into tArray ["FeesOnCustomer"]
put ArrayToJSON(tArray) into receive_momo_request
put "ABCD" into clientId
put "1234" into clientSecret
set the httpHeaders to "Content-type: application/json" && "Authorization: Basic " && base64Encode("clientId:clientSecret") && "Cache-Control: no-cache"
post receive_momo_request to url "https://api.hubtel.com/v1/merchantaccount/merchants/HMXXXXXXX/receive/mobilemoney"
end mouseUp

Your LiveCode code looks good on first glance. I would try two things:
First, URLencode the data you are posting before you post it.
put ArrayToJSON(tArray) into receive_momo_request
put urlEncode(receive_momo_request) into receive_momo_request
Second, after the post command, check the itvariable to see what data was returned by the web server. You can also check the result to see if an error occurred.
post receive_momo_request to url "https://api.hubtel.com/v1/merchantaccount/merchants/HMXXXXXXX/receive/mobilemoney"
put it into tServerFeedback
answer the result
This should at least tell you what is happening after you issue the post command.
