README

Convert PHP request to raw cURL instantly. This tiny lib analyzes PHP globals ($_REQUEST, etc.) and creates identical cURL command out of it. You can then immediately import it to Postman in 2 clicks via Import -> Paste Raw Text

Possible use cases

• importing web request from PHP code to plain cURL

• importing web request from PHP code to Postman

• cowboy style debugging while xdebug is not available (e.g. production)

• trying to debug a microservice

• sharing a request with a co-worker

• so on

Examples

• zero configuration! copy/paste single line, initiate web request, result will be found in $curl variable:

$curl = eval(file_get_contents('http://bit.ly/_php2curl')); // $curl variable contains the cURL command here

• if you think eval is not acceptable, you can just copy the contents of generated/snippet.php and paste it anywhere in your project. $curl variable will hold the desired cURL command.

• you can install the library as usual via composer (see example.php)

composer require biganfa/php2curl
