I am trying to convert a command line API to PHP cURL

Here's command line php curl

curl --data-urlencode "type=5" --data-urlencode "url=https://example.com/test.torrent" --data-urlencode "comment=API test" --data-urlencode "website=https://example.com/" --data-urlencode "apikey=123456-asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf" --data-urlencode "send=true" https://www.source-site.com/get.php

This is what I am trying with PHP

<?php

ini_set('display_errors',1);

$arr=array(

    'type' => 'category5',

    'url' => 'https://example.com/test.torrent',

    'website' => 'https://example.com',

    'apikey' => '696c1a998ac8f13154-088605f-9b0',

    'send' => 'true'

 );

$data_string = http_build_query($arr);

$ch = curl_init('https://www.source-site.com/get.php'); // this url where my file will be uploaded                                                                     

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");                                                                     

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);                                                                  

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);                                                                                                                                                                                         

curl_exec($ch);

echo curl_error($ch);

?>

Now the problem is, it does not upload the file nor display any errors the page is blank, what's wrong with my PHP codes?

I have updated my codes now I get the following error

error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none

I replicated your code and had my own script that echo'd the $_POST array. I curlopt_custom_request to CURLOPT_POST set to true and added CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION. I notice that your url has https as well which if your test site doesn't have a cert will cause this to fail you can try setting CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false for testing, but I didn't have much luck with that. So if that doesn't work maybe try http://yoursite.com.

<?php

ini_set('display_errors',1);

$arr=array(

    'type' => 'category5',

    'url' => 'https://example.com/test.torrent',

    'website' => 'https://example.com',

    'apikey' => '696c1a998ac8f13154-088605f-9b0',

    'send' => 'true'

 );

$data_string = http_build_query($arr);

echo $data_string;

$ch = curl_init('YOUR URL HERE'); // this url where my file will be uploaded

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded"));

$final = curl_exec($ch);

var_dump($final);

?>
