note 109319 added to function.curl-setopt

if you want to do a GET request with additional body data it will become tricky not to implicitly change the request to a POST, like many notes below correctly state. So to do the analogy of command line's curl -XGET 'http://example.org?foo=bar' -d '<baz>some additional data</baz>' in PHP you'll do, besides your other necessary stuff, <?php curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET'); curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '<baz>some additional data</baz>'); ?> during my experiments, every other "similar" way, like e.g. CURLOPT_HTTPGET, didn't send the additional data or fell into POST. ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 79.214.64.222 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109319 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109319/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109319/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109319/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109319/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109319/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109319/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109319 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109319 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
