Convert Syntax from cURL to php cURL - php

Question

I have a cURL command which works very well en CLI (via git Bash). See below:
curl -D- -k -o tvdata.xls -u adminid:adminpw -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel" https://localhost/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-excel-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.xls?jqlQuery=project+%3D+LPCCU+AND+type+%3D+Incident
This command export very well all issues in an excel file (xls) from my JIRA.
Now i want to transform this command to php curl. I have tried this code below:
$url = 'https://build.bnum.laposte.fr/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-excel-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.xls?jqlQuery=project+%3D+LPCCU+AND+type+%3D+Incident';
$username ='adminid';
$password ='adminpw';
$file = fopen('tvdata.xls', 'w');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Accept: application/vnd.ms-excel"));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15000);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $file);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($file);
but when i run this php code, he create an empty excel file only, but without to get an error. If somebody can figure out this problem please?
Thanks in advance

Have you tried using on-line converters like this one?
From...
curl -D- -k -o tvdata.xls -u adminid:adminpw -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel" https://localhost/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-excel-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.xls?jqlQuery=project+%3D+LPCCU+AND+type+%3D+Incident
...you get:
// Generated by curl-to-PHP: http://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://localhost/jira/sr/jira.issueviews:searchrequest-excel-current-fields/temp/SearchRequest.xls?jqlQuery=project+%3D+LPCCU+AND+type+%3D+Incident");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "adminid" . ":" . "adminpw");
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);
...compared with your sample code, CURLOPT_URL and CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER are different, and some other options are not set.
