PHP Post Request for API [SOLVED]

Hello,

i’m new to API world, i read the API v3 Documentation and start my adventure with Open Project API.

I fond the way for read the projects / work packages created but i’m blocked in the creation of new work packages.

Google and the forum explained me that i need to send a POST request with the API and send a JSON with the data of the project.

How can i make the POST request via PHP?

Now i have a script like that

<?php 

$curl = curl_init();
$token = "my_api_key_token";

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Authorization: Basic ".base64_encode('apikey:'.$token)));

// the json is copied by another example in this forum
$json = '{
 "subject": "new work_package",
 "description": {
   "format": "textile",
   "raw": "hallo" 
 },  
 "_links": {
   "type": {
     "href": "/api/v3/types/1",
     "title": "Task" 
   },
   "status": {
     "href": "/api/v3/statuses/1" 
   },
   "priority": {
     "href": "/api/v3/priorities/8",
     "title": "Normal" 
   },
   "assignee": {
     "href": "/api/v3/users/3" 
   }
 }
}';


// SEND THE POST REQUEST TO API FOR THE CREATION

curl_close($curl);
?>

How can i do with php the “SEND POST REQUEST” ???

Thanks guys!

PS: i tried that code without result

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));

Sorry for the post, after some hours of tests and searches (not in API documentation but in other GENERAL API documentation i found the solution)

If someone need this is the script

<?php

    $proxy       = 'my_proxy_url_and_port';
    $token       = 'my_token';
    $url_api     = 'http://my_url/api/v3/work_packages?notify=false';

    $arrHeader  = Array();
    $arrHeader[] = "Authorization: Basic ".base64_encode('apikey:'.$token);
    $arrHeader[] = "Content-Type: application/json";

    $json_file = '{
     "subject": "TEST VIA API",
     "description": {
       "format": "textile",
       "raw": "test via API" 
     },  
     "_links": {
       "type": {
         "href": "/api/v3/types/1",
         "title": "Task" 
       },
       "status": {
         "href": "/api/v3/statuses/1" 
       },
       "priority": {
         "href": "/api/v3/priorities/8",
         "title": "Normal" 
       },
       "assignee": {
         "href": "/api/v3/users/34" 
       },
        "project": {
        "href": "/api/v3/projects/36",
        "title": "Test via API"
       }
     }
    }';


    $curl = curl_init();


    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $arrHeader);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_file); 
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url_api);


    $result = curl_exec($curl);
    if(curl_errno($curl)){ echo 'Request Error:' . curl_error($curl); }

    print_r($result);


    curl_close($curl);

?>

In my example there MUST exist and USER 34 and a PROJECT 36
