Converting Command line curl to PHP curl functions

Question

I am unable to convert this command line curl to php:

Structure

curl -X POST https://kanbanflow.com/api/v1/tasks -H "Content-type: application/json"
-d '{ "<PROPERTY_1>": <PROPERTY_VALUE_1>, "<PROPERTY_2>": <PROPERTY_VALUE_2>, ... "<PROPERTY_N>": <PROPERTY_VALUE_N> }'

Example in api documentation

curl -X POST https://kanbanflow.com/api/v1/tasks -H "Content-type: application/json"
-d '{ "name": "Write report", "columnId": "7ca19de0403f11e282ebef81383f3229", "color": "red" }'

I can't understand what is -d here? and how to pass data in this format.

so far i reach here but its not working.

Updated Code

$data = json_encode(array('name'=>'Testing of api', 'columnId' =>"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",'color'=>"red"));

$token = base64_encode("apiToken:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx");

$headers = array(
        "Authorization: Basic " . $token,
        "Content-type: application/json"
);

$url = "https://kanbanflow.com/api/v1/tasks";

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$response = curl_exec($curl);

$status = curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
curl_close($curl);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($response);

Suggest me where i am wrong..

Update

I want to use https://kanbanflow.com api to add task

Response: {"errors":[{"message":"Unexpected error"}]}

Thanks @RahilWazir but my code is not working and i don't want to run it though command prompt. — Manwal

Can you provide API documentation? Does curl example in your post work? — Mikhail Gerasimov

I got solution of my problem i was missing swimlaneId attribute. I am posting code here for future reference so it will help others.

Now sending data using object like following

$object = new stdClass();
   $object->name = 'Testing Task';
   $object->columnId = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
   $object->swimlaneId = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx';
   $object->color = 'green';

$url = "https://kanbanflow.com/api/v1/tasks";
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($object));
$response = curl_exec($curl);

Array of Json_encode is also working here

$data = json_encode(array('name'=>'Testing of api', 'columnId' =>"f648831061e111e3a41aa3dbd7a40406", 'color'=>'red', 'swimlaneId' => 'd0635fc061e711e3a41aa3dbd7a40406'));

Looks like you forgot to json encode your data

$data = json_encode(array('name'=>'Testing of api', 'columnId' =>"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",'color'=>"red"));

@manwal Still you say. Thats tricky. At least we can deduct the body for now. Can you try to get another error by screwing up your auth, maybe to try to rule out that. Since I see you left that out from your curl

My other requests are working @Cleric but only this one is not working. I haven't found any code example in Doc
