Sending POST data with curl and php

Question

Greets. So, I'm running Fedora Core 8 on an Amazon EC2. I installed httpd, php5 and libcurl, and a bunch of other stuff. Seemed to be working great, but then I realized that POST data isn't being sent by curl in my php scripts. Same request in the command line works tho. I also ran the same php scripts on my local machine (Win XP) and another remote machine (Ubuntu), and they run fine, the POST data is being sent, but not on the FC8. Does it require any special configuration? Any firewall issues? Here's the PHP code: ``` error_reporting(E_ALL); $ch = curl_init("http://foller.me/tmp/postdump.php"); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "something=somewhere"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0); $response = curl_exec($ch); echo $response; curl_close($ch); ``` Here's the corresponding curl command: ``` curl -d "something=somethingelse" http://foller.me/tmp/postdump.p…

Accepted Answer

Looks as if this turns the request from POST to GET:

```
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
```

Remove that line and it works.

CURLOPT_NOBODY

A non-zero parameter tells the library to not include the body-part in the output. This is only relevant for protocols that have separate header and body parts.
