Converting a Postman request to curl

I am calling my Java webservice (POST request) via Postman in the following manner which works perfectly fine (i.e. I can see my records getting inserted into the database):

And, here's how the contents inside the Headers(1) tab look like:

Instead of calling it via Postman, I have to call the same request in PHP using cURL. I am wondering if there's a way to export this command to a curl command so that I could use it in my PHP code? I have found the opposite approach at many places online where someone is asking to convert a curl based request to Postman but couldn't figure out how to do the opposite.

I found this question for curl to Postman: Simulate a specific CURL in PostMan

For those who use v7.36.5 for Ubuntu, or similar. Instead of the </> icon, there is a clickable "Code" text:

You can see the button </> Code icon in right side of the Postman app (attached screenshot).
Press it and you can get your code in many different languages including PHP cURL

To extend the existing answers, there is an option to generate PHP ready cURL code if needed. With latest Postman, you will find dropdown for PHP - cURL and other languages.

The first answer here works with the older versions of Postman. With the latest releases in 2021 the cURL can be found clicking this icon (circled in red)
