How to switch from POST to GET in PHP CURL

Question

I have tried switching from a previous Post request to a Get request  Which assumes its a Get but eventually does a post   I tried the following in PHP    curl setopt  curl handle  CURLOPT POSTFIELDS  null   curl setopt  curl handle  CURLOPT POST  FALSE   curl setopt  curl handle  CURLOPT HTTPGET  TRUE     What am I missing   Additional information  I already have a connection that s setup to do a POST request  That completes successfully but later on when I try to reuse the connection and switch back to GET using the setopts above it still ends up doing a POST internally with incomplete POST headers  The problem is it believes its doing a GET but ends up putting a POST header without the content-length parameter and the connection fails witha 411 ERROR

Solved  The problem lies here   I set POST via both  CUSTOMREQUEST and  POST and the  CUSTOMREQUEST persisted as POST while  POST switched to  HTTPGET  The Server assumed the header from  CUSTOMREQUEST to be the right one and came back with a 411   curl setopt  curl handle  CURLOPT CUSTOMREQUEST   POST

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  TRUE to reset the HTTP request method to GET     Since GET is the default  this is only necessary if the request method has been changed
