how to pass token parameter in GET request in php curl?

In my Laravel 5.8 app, I use API with method description :

curl --location --request GET "/api/user" \
   --header "Accept: application/json" \
   --header "Authorization: Bearer <user access token>"

But I failed how to pass token parameter in GET request in php curl?

I tried to do

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->serverApiHosting . '/api/user');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8"));

$resp = curl_exec($ch);

$respArray = json_decode($resp);

I received the message:

Redirecting to http://myserver.com/login.

Similar problem with url :

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->admindashApi . '/api/user?token=' . $logged_user_token);

I tried like :

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->admindashApi . '/api/user?Authorization=' . 'Bearer '. $logged_user_token);

But got error :

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>400 Bad Request</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Bad Request</h1>
<p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br />
</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) Server at phpstack-NNN-NNNN.cloudwaysapps.com Port 80</address>
</body></html>
</pre>

Do I have to put it in CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER? How can I do this? Which is the valid way?

You're right that you have to add your header to CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.

This can be done by adding to the PHP array object you're setting to CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.

$headers = array(
    "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8",
    "Authorization: Bearer ".$logged_user_token
);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);

Here, you will be creating the php Array object $headers with both the Authorization and Content-Type headers. You then set your CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER to use that array of headers.
