Passing GET variables in a PHP CURL POST request

Question

I am trying to pass variable value (sample=1000) to a link

http://10.219.5.109:9000/mean

and it should finally look like

http://10.219.5.109:9000/mean?sample=1000

I am using following php code but it seems variable are not getting passed properly as it not running.

$curl_connection =curl_init('http://10.219.5.109:9000/mean');
$post_string='sample=1000';
curl_setopt($curl_connection, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_string);
$result = curl_exec($curl_connection);
print_r(curl_getinfo($curl_connection));

How can i properly bind variables to link?

$curl_connection = curl_init('http://10.219.5.109/mean?'.$post_string) — Kisaragi

It seems that you are doing a GET request, so the post variables will never be send to the server. You could just add the parameters as a query string to the url.

Like so:

$curl_connection = curl_init('http://10.219.5.109:9000/mean?sample=1000');
$result = curl_exec($curl_connection);
print_r(curl_getinfo($curl_connection));

If you want the data to be dynamic, you can do it like this:

$post_string = 'sample=1000';
$curl_connection = curl_init('http://10.219.5.109:9000/mean?' . $post_string);

Thanks!!..It working perfectly.. But how can i bind more variables in it ? I have 4 variables "size", "height", "weight" and "class". Can you please help me with this?

Yes, you just have to put an & between them. So it becomes sample=1000&size=15&height=0 etc.

<?php
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => 1,
CURLOPT_URL => 'http://10.219.5.109:9000/mean?sample=1000',
CURLOPT_USERAGENT => 'Simple cURL'
));
$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
?>

Sample value can be also set through variable.
