Unirest post method doesn't work?

Question

I have a very short code snippet taken directly from mashape:

I've included the paths correctly, as follows:

require_once 'unirest-php-master/src/Unirest.php';

And the code snippet to send a POST request:

$response = Unirest::post("",
      array(
        "X-Mashape-Key" => "",
        "Content-Type" => "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        "Accept" => "application/json"
      ),
      array(
        "selector" => "FACE, EYES, FULL",
        "url" => "http://api.animetrics.com/img/test/sc.jpg"
      )
    );

(I intentionally left the post("url") and the X-Mashape-Key blank since they're private keys.)

I'm not sure why this doesn't work - I tried echoing dummy text in the post method in the corresponding file by adding a method:

public static function echo($a) {
    echo $a;
}

in Request.php, but when I tried calling this method with Unirest::echo("abc"); it didn't work either. Is there something wrong with this syntax or is there another problem I'm not seeing?

I'm 100% sure that my file path is right. I feel like I'm missing some obvious fact that I'm not seeing - would appreciate your help on this.

Thanks!

The release of Unirest 2.0 had some breaking changes, mainly the method & class signature has changed. unfortunately the Mashape sample snippets are yet to be updated.

for example: instead of calling Unirest::post you should be calling Unirest\\Request::post , please refer to the unirest documentation for more details.

We'll be updating the Mashape samples soon to reflect this change.
