<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

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

// 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 CkHttpResponse
$resp = $http->PostJson2('http://www.someserver.com/someJsonEndpoint','application/json',$jsonText);
if ($http->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $http->lastErrorText() . "\n";
}
else {
    // Display the JSON response.
    print $resp->bodyStr() . "\n";
