Trouble converting POST curl from command line to php

Question

I am having trouble converting my curl command into php.

This part works great.

CURL command that adds an entry into my Parse.com database:

curl

Since you are doing a POST request you need to tell Curl to do that as well:

$postData = '{"SiteID":"foundID","dataUsedString":"foundUsage","usageDate":"foundDate", "monthString":"foundMonth", "dayString":"foundDay","yearString":"foundYear"}';

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);

You may also need to supply a Content-Length header:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
  'X-Parse-Application-Id: my_id',
  'X-Parse-REST-API-Key: api_id',
  'Content-Type: application/json',                                                           
  'Content-Length: '.strlen($postData))                                                                       
);
