如何使用Curl同时进行GET和POST？

Question

I have a working "API" but noticed it's not REST because I was just using POST requests passing a mode variable for determining which action to do. So now I'm changing the conditions that matched the mode variable so that they match instead the HTTP Method . But here comes my problem.

In every request I submit by POST a user and a HMAC of the data + user private key . So in the case I wanted to get the data of a determined id , I used curl for creating a request with those variables and POST it to the URL api/id . Then there is a RewriteRule for changing that to api.php?id=$1 , so in my api.php I had both data, the id via GET and the auth info via POST .

So... if for getting a user's data I need to use the GET method now, how can I submit (POST) the auth info as well?

How was before (working but not as a REST API should work)

api.php

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] === "POST"){
    if ($_POST['mode'] === "get"){
        get_data($_GET["id"]);
    }
}

client.php

    $params = array('user' => 'qwerty', 'hash' => 'jFJKSAFhskafa');
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/api/123";
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, count($params));
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $params);

    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $data = json_decode($output, true);
}

How it should be:

api.php

if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] === "GET"){
    get_data($_GET["id"]);
}

client.php

    $params = array('user' => 'qwerty', 'hash' => 'jFJKSAFhskafa');
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/api/123";
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

  //-------->>>> How do I send the params now?

    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $data = json_decode($output, true);
}

Ok, there are two ways of handling this situation.

• Instead of submitting the authentication info via POST , create custom headers with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER'
• Trick cURL, submitting POST data but defining CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST to GET .
