How to pass "--user test:test" in curl options in php

[Fshamri]

I know this is not a bug, but really seek your help. i am trying to call this api to generate token. so i wrote php function to perform the call. something like:

ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch); 

but i get authentication failed. this i think because the user/pass should be passed in the form of:
--user test:test.
can you please help

Above code looks correct, problem is in somewhere else. I would start debugging it with something like:

1. Are you calling the correct $url?
2. Double check you have correct $username and $password
3. Can you make the same request with commandline curl?
4. Do you have some other authentication middlewares?
5. What is output of print_r($info)?

etc
