<?php

$success = 0;

$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");
$success = 0;

// This example will send an HTTP POST with the body of the HTTP request containing JSON.

// Create the following JSON: { "name": "Harry", "state": "FL" }

$json = new COM("Chilkat.JsonObject");
$json->UpdateString('name','Harry');
$json->UpdateString('state','FL');

// Specify the details of the request
$req = new COM("Chilkat.HttpRequest");

$req->HttpVerb = 'POST';
$req->ContentType = 'application/json';
$req->LoadBodyFromString($json->emit(),'utf-8');

// Send the charset attribute in the HTTP request header.
$req->SendCharset = 1;
$req->Charset = 'utf-8';

// Send the POST
// You can send the POST to the URL below.  
// The response will contain the raw body of the request that was sent.
// (i.e. everything except the HTTP request header).

$resp = new COM("Chilkat.HttpResponse");
$success = $http->HttpReq('https://www.chilkatsoft.com/echo_request_body.asp',$req,$resp);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Examine the HTTP request header we sent:
print $http->LastHeader . "\n";

// The response body contains the raw content of the HTTP request body we sent.
print $resp->BodyStr . "\n";

// Sample output:

// POST /echo_request_body.asp HTTP/1.1
// Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
// Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
// Content-Length: 29
// 
// 
// {"name":"Harry","state":"FL"}
