undefined constant CURLOPT_GET - assumed 'CURLOPT_GET' - php

Question

I am building my first ever project from scratch on a lamp stack. I decided to try out the slim api framework. Below you can see i start building a helper function for my api. However I am getting this
error: undefined constant CURLOPT_GET - assumed 'CURLOPT_GET'
and then this
error: curl_setopt() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given
// Main Gospel Blocks API Call Function
Function gbCall($gbRoute) {
// JSON Headers
$gblCallHeaders[] = "Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8";
// Call the API
$gblCall = curl_init();
curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_URL, $GLOBALS['gbApiUrl'] . $gbRoute);
curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_GET, TRUE);
curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($gblCall, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $gblCallHeaders);
// Get the response
$response = curl_exec($gblCall);
// Close cURL connection
curl_close($gblCall);
// Decode the response (Transform it to an Array)
$response = json_decode($response, true);
// Return response
return $response;
}
The api I am hitting is just json encoded objects, not quite sure why this isn't returning the json...

Answer 1

Try using CURLOPT_HTTPGET though I am not sure if it serves your purpose.

Answer 2

It happens when phpxxx-curl was not installed in your machine

Answer 3

There is nothing like CURLOPT_GET in the options for cURL that's why that error occured. Take a look at CURL options

Answer 4

For the GET Request in the Curl
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "URL");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
$headers = array();
$headers[] = "Key: Value";
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);
