I am trying to use jobcrank feeds api and it requires data to be sent in headers I want to make request in the following format

POST /v2/QueryService.asmx/QueryJob HTTP/1.1
Host: api.jobcrank.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: length

and the query parameters will be sent in following method

apiKey=string&apiSerial=string&serviceTypeID=string&jobType=string&keyWordsType=string&keyWords=string&stateAbbreviation=string&county=string&city=string&isWorkFromHome=string

I have written code also for this but dont know how to send header containing "POST /v2/QueryService.asmx/QueryJob HTTP/1.1" line Here is my code:`

<?php
        $fields = array(
    'apiKey'=>'XXX',
    'apiSerial'=>'XXXX',);
$fields_string="";
foreach($fields as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
rtrim($fields_string,'&');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'/v2/QueryService.asmx/QueryJob');
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($fields));
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print $result;
?>

CURLOPT_URL requires an absolute URL with scheme and host:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,'http://example.org/v2/QueryService.asmx/QueryJob');

You don't need to set this header - it is being done automatically. What you however need to do is to urlencode your $fields_string, because it may contain forbidden characters like white space. To do this, use http_build_query to build this string directly from your array:

$fields_string = http_build_query($fields);

It will urlencode the values and make the valid post string.

You don't have to explicitly add POST header. Curl will do that for you, just set CURLOPT_POST flag to true and that is it.

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);

Have a look at this site when in doubt: http://php.net/curl_setopt
