Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.HttpRequest')
$req = new COM("Chilkat.HttpRequest");
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// If any custom headers need to be included with the POST, add them
// by calling SetRequestHeader

// Note: An application should never explicitly set the Content-Length header.
// The Content-Length is automatically computed and added by Chilkat.

// Here are some examples of custom headers.  

// Perhaps your particular app needs some sort of custom-computed Authorization header...
$http->SetRequestHeader('Authorization','my-custom-computed-auth-value');

// Another custom header for some hypothetical app:
$http->SetRequestHeader('X-Pass-Timestamp','my-custom-computed-timestamp-value');

// We don't need to set the Content-Type header, becaue it is automatically set by Chilkat
// in the PostJson2 call below.

// The following "Accept" header may be set, but it really isn't necessary:
$http->SetRequestHeader('Accept','application/json');

$jsonText = '{ some JSON text ... }';

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

// resp is a Chilkat.HttpResponse
$resp = $http->PostJson2('http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint','application/json',$jsonText);
if ($http->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $http->LastErrorText . "\n";
}
else {
    // Display the JSON response.
    print $resp->BodyStr . "\n";

}
