(PHP Extension) Duplicate curl -u user:password with Chilkat HTTP

Demonstrates how to duplicate a curl command that uses the -u username:password option. (This assumes HTTP Basic Authentication, and Chilkat requires Basic authentication to be over a TLS connection.)

Duplicates the following curl command:

curl https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -H "Accept-Language: en_US" \
  -u "Client-Id:Secret" \
  -d "grant_type=client_credentials"

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

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

$http = new CkHttp();
$req = new CkHttpRequest();

// The AddHeader method corresponds to the curl "-H" argument.
$req->AddHeader('Accept','application/json');
$req->AddHeader('Accept-Language','en_US');

// The curl "-d" argument specifies the HTTP request body.  In this case,
// we're sending an application/x-www-form-urlencoded request, and therefore
// the body contains the URL-encoded query parameters.
$req->AddParam('grant_type','client_credentials');

$http->put_Login('PAYPAL_REST_API_CLIENT_ID');
$http->put_Password('PAYPAL_REST_API_SECRET');

// Sends a POST request where the Content-Type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded
$req->put_HttpVerb('POST');
$req->put_ContentType('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');

$resp = new CkHttpResponse();
$success = $http->HttpReq('https://api.sandbox.paypal.com/v1/oauth2/token',$req,$resp);

    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";

// The JSON response is in the resp BodyStr property
print $resp->bodyStr() . "\n";
