How to Convert cURL to PHP
This free tool instantly translates cURL bash commands into working PHP code using native HTTP libraries. When working with complex API requests, manually configuring the equivalents can take significant time and result in syntax errors. Our utility handles headers, payloads, query parameters, formatting, and authentication automatically to ensure you get completely functional code right out of the box.
Why Automated Conversion Matters
Modern APIs often require intricate authentication flows, custom headers, and multipart form data. Writing the boilerplate for these requests in PHP from a cURL command is repetitive and error-prone. By automating this process, developers can ensure that the underlying structure matches the official cURL specification while leveraging the idiomatic patterns of PHP. This speed up integration cycles and reduces the debugging time associated with malformed network requests.
0ms Latency & Privacy-First Security
Data security is our top priority. Unlike other converters that send your cURL commands to a server, FmtDev processes every conversion 100% locally in your browser. This means sensitive information like bearer tokens, API keys, and proprietary endpoints never leave your machine. This "Zero-Server" architecture provides instant, 0ms latency responses while maintaining strict compliance with enterprise security standards.
How to Use
To get started, simply paste your cURL command into the editor above. The tool will automatically detect the components and generate the equivalent PHP implementation in real-time. You can then copy the generated code directly into your project. By relying on native implementations rather than external dependencies, you guarantee that integration patterns are clean, readable, and align perfectly with standard best practices.
