how to use curl in php to fetch value from a API

Question

I need to fetch data from an API using curl. As per the manual given the curl command should be like this

curl --user {YOUR_CLIENT_ID}:{YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET} https://www.udemy.com/api-2.0/courses

Now while passing this command in pUTTY I am getting response and the data is displaying correctly but how to use this in a PHP page...am quiet new with cURL so any suggestion would help me a lot.

Thanks in advance

$ch = curl_init();
// Disable SSL verification
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
// Will return the response, if false it print the response
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Set the url
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
// Execute
$result=curl_exec($ch);
// Will dump a beauty json <3
$fr=json_decode($result, true);

use var_dump() to check structure of array and then get your desired data
