This is a piece of code that i`m using to post data via " API "
<?php
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_URL => "api.ewmjobsystem.com/third-party/add_job",
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
CURLOPT_ENCODING => "",
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 30,
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => "POST",
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => "license_key=***&customer_id=74&full_name=SystemTest&address=SystemTestAddress&site_address=SystemSiteAddress&short_description=SystemShortDescription&item_id=&item_name=SystemItemName&price=4.99&completion_date=25\04\2019",
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
"content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
),
));
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
?>
<?php
if ($err) {
echo "cURL Error #:" . $err;
} else {
echo $response;
}
?>
now i can do everything i want with this code but there is one part of the API documentation which i do not understand. I can succesfully add everything up to " job products ". Could anyone point me to either good ( curl for dummies ) or maybe show me how i should post the data correctly. I had no idea how t ask the question so any necessary edits are welcomed
