Attaching get fields to URL using Curl in PHP - php

Question

I am able to perform server and client side redirects using Curl but I am unable to attach GET fields to the URL via a get request, here is my code:
$post = curl_init();
curl_setopt($post,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($post,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,TRUE);
curl_setopt($post, CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Codular');
curl_setopt($post, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,'GET');
curl_exec($post);
curl_close($post);
Nothing gets attached when I perform the execution, what am I doing wrong?
New code I am using:
function curl_req($url, $req, $data='')
{
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $req);
if (is_array($data)) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
$temp = array("akash"=>"test");
$result = curl_req("http://localhost/test.php", 'POST', $temp);
echo $result;
print_r($result);
test.php:
print_r($_POST);
print_r($_REQUEST);

Try this:
// Fill in your DATA below.
$data = array('param' => "datata", 'param2' => "HelloWorld");
/*
* cURL request
*
* #param $url string The url to post to 'theurlyouneedtosendto.com/m/admin'/something'
* #param $req string Request type. Ex. 'POST', 'GET' or 'PUT'
* #param $data array Array of data to be POSTed
* #return $result HTTP resonse
*/
function curl_req($url, $req, $data='')
{
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, $req);
if (is_array($data)) {
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}
// Fill in your URL below.
$result = curl_req("http://yourURL.com/?", "POST", $data)
echo $result;
This works fine for me.
