Chilkat PHP Downloads PHP Extension for Windows, Linux, MAC OS X, Alpine Linux, Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux armhf/aarch64

<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code

$req = new CkHttpRequest();
$http = new CkHttp();

// This example duplicates the HTTP POST shown at
// http://json.org/JSONRequest.html

// Specifically, the request to be sent looks like this:

// POST /request HTTP/1.1
// Accept: application/jsonrequest
// Content-Encoding: identity
// Content-Length: 72
// Content-Type: application/jsonrequest
// Host: json.penzance.org
// 
// {"user":"doctoravatar@penzance.com","forecast":7,"t":"vlIj","zip":94089}

// First, remove default header fields that would be automatically
// sent.  (These headers are harmless, and shouldn't need to 
// be suppressed, but just in case...)
$http->put_AcceptCharset('');
$http->put_UserAgent('');
$http->put_AcceptLanguage('');
// Suppress the Accept-Encoding header by disallowing 
// a gzip response:
$http->put_AllowGzip(false);

// If a Cookie needs to be added, it may be added by calling
// AddQuickHeader:
$success = $http->AddQuickHeader('Cookie','JSESSIONID=1234');

$jsonText = '{\'user\':\'doctoravatar@penzance.com\',\'forecast\':7,\'t\':\'vlIj\',\'zip\':94089}';

// To use SSL/TLS, simply use "https://" in the URL.

// IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the URL, JSON text,
// and other data items to your own values.  The URL used
// in this example will not actually work.

// resp is a CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->PostJson('http://json.penzance.org/request',$jsonText);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
}
else {
    // Display the JSON response.
    print $resp->bodyStr() . "\n";

}
