How to get a response using cURL? - php

Question

I'm trying to get a response using curl according to this doc. But I'm new to cURL/REST and don't have an idea how to do that.
For an example there is this code in the doc that says it returns a list of folders
curl -X GET -u "email:password" https://www.seedr.cc/rest/folder ,
but when I try it in PHP it doesn't work. how can I do this ->
Edit : it seems this is a command line curl . I tried it with command line and it works, but I need to know how to use this in a PHP script .

Answer 1

You don't need use curl. You can do it directly in php.
$url="https://www.seedr.cc/rest/folder"
$context = stream_context_create(array(
'http' => array(
'header' => "Authorization: Basic " . base64_encode("$username:$password")
)
));
$data = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);

Answer 2

This is an example of how to use cURL with php. You can use the curl_setopt function to set and change the options to suit your peculiar case. Some of them are actually optional. You can check the table here to get a full list of what they do
$durl = "https://www.seedr.cc/rest/folder?email=$password" ;
$ch = curl_init() ;
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL, $durl);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
$dinf = curl_exec ($ch);
if(!curl_errno($ch) ){
echo $dinf ;
}else{
echo curl_error($ch) ;
}
