curl works at the command line, but how do i put it in a php file?

Question

The following curl format works for me from the command line. The line below is just sample data, but the format works.

curl -u [e-mail]:1234567 https://api.email.com/status

How do I transfer this into a php file so I can run it within php so I can analyze the result?

Answer 1

Try using PHP's built-in support for libcurl.

For authentication set a CURLOPT_USERPWD value using curl_setopt()
