Converting terminal CURL to PHP CURL?

Question

How would I submit this test.xml file in PHP using this CURL command:

 curl -X POST -k -d @test.xml -H "Content-Type: application/xml" --user username:password https://www.url.com

This isn't working for me:

 $ch = curl_init();

 //Get the response from cURL
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

 //Set the Url
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://username:[email protected]');

 //Create a POST array with the file in it
 $postData = array(
'testData' => '@test.xml',
 );
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

 // Execute the request
 $response = curl_exec($ch);

I'm also wondering how I could submit XML written in the code instead of an XML file.

is that the only thing wrong in my code? and how would I pass the username and password — Omar

You should not put username and password in the url. You can use curl_setopt($p, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password); for $username and $password. Eg below:

$p = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($p, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/xml'));
curl_setopt($p, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($p, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password);
curl_setopt($p, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
curl_setopt($p, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($p, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$return = curl_exec($p);
curl_close($p);
