Curl and PHP - how can I pass a json through curl by PUT POST GET

Question

I have been working on building an Rest API for the hell of it and I have been testing it out as I go along by using curl from the command line which is very easy for CRUD  I can successfully make these call from the command line  curl -u username pass -X GET http   api mysite com pet 1 curl -d    dog   tall    -u username pass -X GET http   api mysite com pet curl -d    dog   short    -u username pass -X POST http   api mysite com pet curl -d    dog   tall    -u username pass -X PUT http   api mysite com pet 1   The above calls are easy to make from the command line and work fine with my api  but now I want to use PHP to create the curl   As you can see  I pass data as a json string   I have read around and I think I can probably do the POST and include the POST fields  but I have not been able to find out how to pass http body data with GET   Everything I see says you must attached it to the url  but it doesn t look that way on the command line form   Any way  I would love it if someone could write the correct way to do these four operations in PHP here on one page   I would like to see the simplest way to do it with curl and php   I think I need to pass everything through the http body because my php api catching everything with php   input

You can use this small library  https   github com ledfusion php-rest-curl  Making a call is as simple as      GET  result   RestCurl  get  URL  array  id    gt  12345678        POST  result   RestCurl  post  URL  array  name    gt   John         PUT  result   RestCurl  put  URL  array   set    gt  array  lastName    gt   Smith          DELETE  result   RestCurl  delete  URL      And for the  result variable     result  status   is the HTTP response code  result  data   an array with the JSON response parsed  result  header   a string with the response headers   Hope it helps
