Question

Ok so i have a curl request I am trying to make.

$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://someurl.com/shop_pos/index.php?route=module/cart/ajax_get_all_products");

// Do a POST
$items = 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $_SESSION['cart']);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;

The contents or $_SESSION['cart'] is

Array
(
  [155] => 1
  [78] => 1
)

I need to send this data either as post data or a get variable…any suggestions

on the catching function

public function ajax_get_all_products(){
    $this->language->load('module/cart');
    $all_products = $this->cart->getProducts();
    $data_returned = json_encode($all_products);
    echo "<pre>".print_r($_REQUEST, true)."</pre>";
    echo "<pre>".print_r($_POST, true)."</pre>";
    $this->response->setOutput($data_returned, $this->config->get('config_compression'));
}

I dont get the array I set over. The two files are on the same server btw

try:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('items' => $_SESSION['cart']));

try this:

$post_data = http_build_query(array('items' => $_SESSION['cart']));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
