Executing Curl in PHP to do a Stripe subscription -

the stripe api allows curl calls made. example, command:

curl https://api.stripe.com//v1/customers/cus_5ucscmnxf3jssy/subscriptions    -u sk_test_redacted: 

returns subscription of customer cus_5ucscmnxf3jssy.

how can use php call curl command (i trying avoid using php stripe libraries).

i trying following:

<?php          // create curl resource          $ch = curl_init();           // set url          curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_url, "https://api.stripe.com//v1/customers/cus_5ucscmnxf3jssy/subscriptions    -u sk_test_redacted:");           //return transfer string          curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, 1);           // $output contains output string          $output = curl_exec($ch);          print($output);          // close curl resource free system resources          curl_close($ch);       ?> 

however, seems curl not take -u parameter of url. following error:

{ "error": { "type": "invalid_request_error", "message": "you did not provide api key. need provide api key in authorization header, using bearer auth (e.g. 'authorization: bearer your_secret_key'). see https://stripe.com/docs/api#authentication details, or can @ https://support.stripe.com/." }  

how can pass -u sk_test_redacted: parameter curl call?

i ran same issue. wanted use php's curl functions instead of using official stripe api because singletons make me nauseous.

i wrote own simple stripe class utilizes api via php , curl.

class stripe {     public $headers;     public $url = 'https://api.stripe.com/v1/';     public $fields = array();      function __construct () {         $this->headers = array('authorization: bearer '.stripe_api_key); // stripe_api_key = stripe api key     }      function call () {         $ch = curl_init();         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_httpheader, $this->headers);         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_url, $this->url);         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_post, true);         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_postfields, http_build_query($this->fields));         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_returntransfer, true);         curl_setopt($ch, curlopt_ssl_verifypeer, false);         $output = curl_exec($ch);         curl_close($ch);          return json_decode($output, true); // return php array api response     } }  // create customer , use email identify them in stripe $s = new stripe(); $s->url .= 'customers'; $s->fields['email'] = $_post['email']; $customer = $s->call();  // create customer subscription credit card , plan $s = new stripe(); $s->url .= 'customers/'.$customer['id'].'/subscriptions'; $s->fields['plan'] = $_post['plan']; // name of stripe plan i.e. my_stripe_plan // credit card details $s->fields['source'] = array(     'object' => 'card',     'exp_month' => $_post['card_exp_month'],     'exp_year' => $_post['card_exp_year'],     'number' => $_post['card_number'],     'cvc' => $_post['card_cvc'] ); $subscription = $s->call(); 

you can dump $customer , $subscription via print_r see response arrays if want manipulate data further.
