  1. Hi I know that this is an old video and I don't expect a response, but I'm running a Win10 Desktop and in my php.ini I have enabled the cURL extension, but when I do curl_init(); I get and error saying undefined function. Any suggestions to get cURL working?

  2. Liked your video but there's actually no link that I've found which has the source codes you were using to get started easily. If you're just marketing to enroll then it just hurtful for inexperienced programmers.

  3. Hi, I am trying to make users log in using an API
    I am using curl method to send username and password to the API
    here it is:

    <?php
    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();

    // set url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://some_api.aspx?username=" . $_POST['username'] . "&password=" . $_POST['password']);

    //return the transfer as a string
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

    // $output contains the output string
    $output = curl_exec($ch);

    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);
    ?>

    I am still unable to make the user login
    I always get a failure error message (from the API) anything wrong with the code ?
