Make sure that you're putting your query string at the end of your URL when doing a GET request.
$qry_str = "?x=10&y=20"; $ch = curl_init(); // Set query data here with the URL curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/test.php' . $qry_str); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3); $content = trim(curl_exec($ch)); curl_close($ch); print $content;
With a POST you pass the data via the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option instead of passing it in the CURLOPT__URL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- $qry_str = "x=10&y=20"; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/test.php'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3); // Set request method to POST curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // Set query data here with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $qry_str); $content = trim(curl_exec($ch)); curl_close($ch); print $content;
Note from the curl_setopt() docs for CURLOPT_HTTPGET (emphasis added):
[Set CURLOPT_HTTPGET equal to]
TRUEto reset the HTTP request method to GET.
Since GET is the default, this is only necessary if the request method has been changed.
