cURL to PHP

Paste a cURL command and convert it into PHP cURL code. URL, method, headers, body and auth map to curl_setopt calls with the response echoed.

How the conversion works

The parser extracts the method, URL, headers and body, then emits PHP using curl_init and curl_setopt. Custom methods use CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, headers become a CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER array, and -u becomes CURLOPT_USERPWD.

Drop-in backend code

Many PHP integrations start life as a cURL example in API docs. The generated snippet drops into Laravel, WordPress or plain PHP and runs as written, returning the response as a string.

cURL to PHP FAQs

Which cURL flags are supported?
-X/--request, -H/--header, -d/--data variants, -u/--user, -A/--user-agent, -k/--insecure and --url are parsed. Cookie jar flags are not converted.
What does the -k flag become?
It becomes curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false). Use it only for local testing, never in production.
How are POST bodies handled?
The body is passed via CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS as a string, which sends it exactly as cURL would, including JSON payloads.
Does it handle the response?
The snippet sets CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER and echoes the response. Add curl_getinfo or json_decode handling for status codes and parsed bodies.
Is my command uploaded?
No. Parsing runs entirely in your browser, so URLs and credentials never leave your device.
