and response -

string(1042) "{"errors":[{"object":"com.application.appdetails","field":"firstname","rejected-value":null,"message":"property [firstname] of class [class com.application.appdetails] cannot null"},{"object":"com.application.appdetails","field":"surname","rejected-value":null,"message":"property [surname] of class [class com.application.appdetails] cannot null"},{"object":"com.application.appdetails","field":"companyname","rejected-value":null,"message":"property [companyname] of class [class com.application.appdetails] cannot null"},{"object":"com.application.appdetails","field":"phone","rejected-value":null,"message":"property [phone] of class [class com.application.appdetails] cannot null"},{"object":"com.application.appdetails","field":"email","rejected-value":null,"message":"property [email] of class [class com.application.appdetails] cannot null"},{"object":"com.application.appdetails","field":"sourcecode","rejected-value":null,"message":"property [sourcecode] of class [class com.application.appdetails] cannot null"}]}"

update: still not working. $data json line not issue. in previous version had array , used json_encode

$buildapplication = array(     'firsname'          => 'keith',     'surname'           => 'francis', 'companyname'       => 'keiths mobile discos',     'phone'             => '07123456789',     'email'             => 'keith.francis@freedom-finance.co.uk',     'sourcecode'        => 'w00t' ); $data = json_encode($buildapplication);                                                                                                              $ch = curl_init('http://10.50.1.71:8080/sme/api/details.json');                                                                       curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_customrequest, "post");                                                                      curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_postfields, json_encode($data));                                                                  curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true);                                                                       curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_httpheader, array(                                                                           'content-type: application/json',                                                                                 'content-length: ' . strlen($buildapplicationjson))                                                                        );                                                                                                                 $result = curl_exec($ch); var_dump($result); 

your json incorrect. see result of jsfiddle.

now rewrite string proper json, quite error-prone. instead, let json_encode work you.

define $data php array:

$data = ['firstname' => 'tom', 'surname' => 'tom', 'companyname' => 'test', 'phone' => 01234567, 'email' => 'test@test.com']; 

then use json_encode when want pass curl

curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_postfields, json_encode($data)); 

better yet, try encode before hand , check successfuly encoded.

if( $jsondata = json_encode($data) ){     //$jsondata valid json }
