I use this site https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ sometimes. otherwise you can switch to json maybe. this example works for me.

    $handle = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{\"text\": \"$newText\" , \"model_id\":\"en-fr\"}");
    curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, 'apikey' . ':' . $_ENV['API_KEY_TRANSLATE']);

    $headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
    curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

    $response = curl_exec($handle);
    $responseDecoded = json_decode($response, true);
    $responseCode = curl_getinfo($handle, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);      
    curl_close($handle);
