Trouble converting POST curl from command line to php

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 -X POST \
  -H "X-Parse-Application-Id: my_id" \
  -H "X-Parse-REST-API-Key: api_id" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d "{\"SiteID\":\"foundID\",\"dataUsedString\":\"foundUsage\",\"usageDate\":\"foundDate\", \"monthString\":\"foundMonth\", \"dayString\":\"foundDay\",\"yearString\":\"foundYear\"}" \
  https://api.parse.com/1/classes/MyClass

SOLVED ANSWER:

I have created this php script to replicate the command:

   <?php 
   $ch = curl_init('https://api.parse.com/1/classes/MyClass');

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

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{\"SiteID\":\"foundID\",\"dataUsedString\":\"foundUsage\",\"usageDate\":\"foundDate\", \"monthString\":\"foundMonth\", \"dayString\":\"foundDay\",\"yearString\":\"foundYear\"}");

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>

You've missed some crucial configurations. These are the set the CURL to send request using POST, and the second is data to send. (RAW DATA is being sent as string into POSTFIELDS, those if you send array - it will automatically append header "multipart/form-data"

$ch = curl_init('https://api.parse.com/1/classes/MyClass');

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,
  array(
    'X-Parse-Application-Id:my_id',
    'X-Parse-REST-API-Key:api_id',
    'Content-Type: application/json'
  )
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "{\"SiteID\":\"foundID\",\"dataUsedString\":\"foundUsage\",\"usageDate\":\"foundDate\", \"monthString\":\"foundMonth\", \"dayString\":\"foundDay\",\"yearString\":\"foundYear\"}");
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

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))                                                                       
);
