In this article am going to explain you how to make HTTP POST using PHP cURL. Some places you may need to post data to remote server where the data will insert to database or process and send you the response. Mostly APIs will use these methods. Apart from API we require it to post the data to remote server from local or for cross domain request.
User will make a conventional form submission and we need to get those values and create an cURL request. In this method we send a set of (array) data and remote script will insert to database (MYSQL Insert) or some other data process.
PHP cURL Post
Now we are going to call the set of php cURL function to post data,
//Initialize cURL
$ch = curl_init();
//Set location to post data using cURL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.your-website.com/yourScript.php");
//Enable POST method
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//Create a array of data
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
array(
'name'=>'your name',
'email'=>'your email',
'mobile'=>'your mobile',
'dob'=>'your date of birth',
'location'=>'your location'
));
//Set return True
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
//Execute the cURL
echo $server_output = curl_exec ($ch);
//Close
curl_close ($ch);
The above script sends a post a HTTP post request to the given URL with the array of data. Remote script will receive this data and insert into database or process this according to the requirement. Hope you like this article. Thank you.
Right now it appears like WordPress is the top blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Very good blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really like to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Cheers!
I am really enjoying the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility problems? A number of my blog visitors have complained about my blog not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great in Firefox. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?

Your content is excellent but with images and videos, this site could definitely be one of the best in its field. Amazing blog!
Ya sure will try to put the more media contents like Videos and Photos.
