PHP CURL Background Process - REST API URL - php

Question

I am trying to execute the background REST API Call with Curl
library in php. I guess it is not working.
can you suggest me ?
$cum_url = http://localhost/test/list;
$post = [ 'id' => $object->id ];
$ch = curl_init($cum_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, 1);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
UPDATE: Cull error says "Timeout was reached".
Thanks,

You need to transfer your post data from array to http parameter string, ex:
$cum_url = "http://localhost/test/list";
$post = [ 'id' => $object->id ];
$postdata = http_build_query($post);
$options = array (CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true, // return web page
CURLOPT_HEADER => false, // don't return headers
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true, // follow redirects
CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER => true,
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1",
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST => false,
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER => false);
$ch = curl_init($cum_url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
curl_setopt_array ( $ch, $options );
$res = null;
if(!curl_errno($ch)) {
$res = curl_exec($ch);
}
curl_close($ch);
Of course, some option is optional depends on you, ex CURLOPT_USERAGENT. Just show you an example.
