Curl PHP Run code

Question

I got this below code from a wocoommerce rest API where it says that a product can be added from curl so after lot of research i have enabled the Curl in my PHP and tested a code which says the curl is enabled on my Machine But i have zero clue how to run the below API code in

Curl Test code:

<?php

    // Script to test if the CURL extension is installed on this server

    // Define function to test
    function _is_curl_installed() {
        if  (in_array  ('curl', get_loaded_extensions())) {
            return true;
        }
        else {
            return false;
        }
    }

    // Ouput text to user based on test
    if (_is_curl_installed()) {
        echo "cURL is <span style=\"color:blue\">installed</span> on this server";
        } else {
        echo "cURL is NOT <span style=\"color:red\">installed</span> on this server";
    }
?>

Api Found that uploads the Products to the store

    -u consumer_key:consumer_secret \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Answer 1

you can run curl by using the following code

/* Initiate a CURL resource */
$resCurl = curl_init();


/* If you want to send a JSON Request, use these options */
curl_setopt( $resCurl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,  array( 'Content-type: APPLICATION/JSON; CHARSET=UTF-8' ) );
curl_setopt( $resCurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jreq );


curl_setopt( $resCurl, CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $resCurl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com");
curl_setopt( $resCurl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt( $resCurl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

 if( curl_exec( $resCurl ) === false ) {
     echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error( $resCurl );
     curl_close( $resCurl );
 } else {

 $result = curl_exec( $resCurl );
curl_close( $resCurl );

echo $result;
}

Answer 2

Firstly you'll need to create a PHP array that can be encoded to that JSON string

$aData = array(
  'product' => array(
      'title' => 'Premium Quality',
      'type' => 'simple'
      ...............................
  )
);

Then use json_encode to convert it to JSON

$sData = json_encode($aData);

Then use the following PHP code

$ch = curl_init('https://example.com/wc-api/v3/products');                                                                      
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST');                                                                     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $sData);                                                                  
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'consumer_key:consumer_secret');                                                                      
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(                                                                          
    'Content-Type: application/json',                                                                                
    'Content-Length: ' . strlen($sData))                                                                       
); 
$result = curl_exec($ch);
