For those coming to this with similar problems, this request library allows you to make external http requests seemlessly within your php application. Simplified GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE and PUT requests.

A sample request would be as below

use Libraries\Request;

$data = [
  'samplekey' => 'value',
  'otherkey' => 'othervalue'
];

$headers = [
  'Content-Type' => 'application/json',
  'Content-Length' => sizeof($data)
];

$response = Request::post('https://example.com', $data, $headers);
// the $response variable contains response from the request

Documentation for the same can be found in the project's README.md

The accepted answer is wrong  GET requests can indeed contain a body  This is the solution implemented by WordPress  as an example  curl setopt   ch  CURLOPT CUSTOMREQUEST   GET     curl setopt   ch  CURLOPT POSTFIELDS   body     EDIT  To clarify  the initial curl setopt is necessary in this instance  because libcurl will default the HTTP method to POST when using CURLOPT POSTFIELDS  see documentation

you have done it the correct way using   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT POSTFIELDS  body     but i notice your missing  curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT POST 1

CURLOPT POSTFIELDS as the name suggests  is for the body  payload  of a POST request  For GET requests  the payload is part of the URL in the form of a query string   In your case  you need to construct the URL with the arguments you need to send  if any   and remove the other options to cURL   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT URL   this- gt service url  user    id user   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT HTTPHEADER   headers   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT HEADER  0       body           curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT CUSTOMREQUEST   GET       curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT POSTFIELDS  body   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  true
