I'm building a Curl web automation app and am having some issue with not getting the desired outcome of my POST action, I am having some trouble figuring out how I can show the full POST request I am sending over (with headers), I have been searching on this but everything that comes up is the response headers, actually I want these too but also the request, which none of the posts I find on google seem to mention..

I know I can display the result of a curl request using something like this (forgive me if my syntax is off, I already shut down my virtual machine with my ide and code to refer to

 $result = curl($curl_exect) ;

Anyways, I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to view the full headers, thanks

Here is all you need:

curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true); // enable tracking
... // do curl request    
$headerSent = curl_getinfo($curlHandle, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT ); // request headers
