Ask a phpcurl post submission question

Ask a question about POST submission of PHPCURL. I encountered a problem when I learned about the sendCloud platform of Sohu in the past two days.

There is an interface:

https://sendcloud.sohu.com/webapi/list.create.json

The official documents are as follows:

* Request interface (post request is recommended. do not use multipart-post):/list. create * parameter description: Required parameter type description api_user string is the request SC authentication account api_key string is the request SC authentication password addres sstring is the list alias address for example: developers@sendcloud.org or Developersname string is list name cannot be greater than 16 Chinese characters description string no list description cannot be greater than 85 Chinese characters

Therefore, I entered the following in the command line:

curl -d "api_user=*&api_key=*&address=runnerleer@maillist.sendcloud.org&name=demo&description=this is a demo list" https://sendcloud.sohu.com/webapi/list.create.json

The submission is correct. an email list is created.

Try to construct a form submission, and the submission is also correct

However, a problem occurs when submitting with php curl. the code is as follows:

 '*', 'Api _ key' => '*', 'address' => 'runnerlee @ maillist.sendcloud.org ', 'name' => 'test Mail list created by Abao ', 'description' => 'this is the test email list created by Abao',); curl_setopt ($ ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $ data); curl_setopt ($ ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $ data ); if (false ===$ result = curl_exec ($ ch) {echo 'false:
';} Var_dump (json_decode ($ result, true); curl_close ($ ch );

At this time, bad username/password is always returned. if you open the interface url directly in the browser, it is also a reality of bad username/password.
So I guess the data is not submitted.

Baidu said setting curl_setopt ($ ch, CURLOPT_VERIFYHOST, true), but I reported an error when setting

Notice: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST no longer accepts the value 1, value 2 will be used instead in F:\www\sendCloud\demo.php on line 13

Even more strange is that, using the same code, you can call/mail. send. json, that is, the interface for sending emails, but submit the email normally.

Thank you very much for your help!

Output curl_error () and curl_errno to see?

Your form gets
{"Message": "error", "errors": ["Bad username/password! "]}

Your php code gets
Array (2) {["message"] => string (5) "error" ["errors"] => array (1) {[0] => string (24) "Bad username/password! "}}

If you do not provide the correct username and password, you cannot get the correct result.

The username and password are correct, but they are coded when they are sent out.

The cause is found. when $ data is an array, content-type is automatically converted to multipart/form-data, but this interface does not accept multipart/form-data, this problem occurs.

Thank you!
