Php post http request using json - php

Question

Hi I'm trying to send this json object using the POST method but i'm not sure how to include the headers below, i was checking a lot of examples, but no one uses the headers below listed.
This is the code of my php processing page, this page will process the inputs received from a form.html and will create the json object to be transferred to the http server (external platform)
<?php
$host ="10.10.237.8";
$puerto = 21098;
$BUFF = 2048;
$socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP);
$conexion = socket_connect($socket, $host, $puerto);
if($conexion)
{
$msisdn=$_POST["msisdn"];
$mensaje=$_POST["mensaje"];
$php_array = array(
"numero" => $msisdn,
"mensaje" => "$mensaje",
);
$json_array=json_encode($php_array);
echo "Conexion Exitosa, puerto: " . $puerto."\n\n";
echo $json_array;
socket_write($socket, $json_array);
// Receive the results (if any) from the server
$server_response = socket_read($socket, $BUFF);
$decoded_response = json_decode($server_response, true); // decode the data received
echo $decoded_response['passphrase']; // and spit the results
}
else
{
echo "\nLa conexion TCP no se pudo realizar, puerto: ".$puerto;
}
socket_close($socket);
?>
these are the headers information, where i whould include them ? how to do it ? using cURL ? do you have a good example ?
POST /SMBULK/BATCH HTTP/1.0
Authorization: Basic dGVzdDp0ZXN0
Host: 10.10.237.8:21098
Content-Length: 395
User-Agent: Wget/1.12 (solaris2.10)
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Connection: Keep-Alive
Accept: */*
I hope you can help me. The php code above is not working because some of the information (POST, Content-Length, Content-Type, User-Agent...etc ) is not being included (except "host" which did was included).
I managed to did this but it's not working:
<?php
$str_obj_json='{
"method":"SUBMIT","params":{
"batchType":"submit",
"batchId":"alvarons",
"origAddr":"550",
"origTon":2,
"userData":"Movistar les desea Feliz Navidad",
"submits":
[
{
"messId":"mess127_001",
"destAddr":"51975375377"}
]
}
}';
$ch = curl_init('http://10.10.237.8:21098/SMBULK/BATCH');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $str_obj_json);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Content-Length: 395',
'Authorization: Basic dGVzdDp0ZXN0',
'User-Agent: Wget/1.12 (solaris2.10)',
'Connection: Keep-Alive',
'Accept: */*')
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
?>
What is wrong ?

Answer 1

To send json object using cUrl you have to add "Content-Type: application/json" to header
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
array(
'Content-type: application/json'
'Content-Length: 395',
'Authorization: Basic dGVzdDp0ZXN0',
'User-Agent: Wget/1.12 (solaris2.10)',
'Connection: Keep-Alive',
'Accept: */*');
