1 www.php.net manual 99/99/99 $_GET v01test01processform - used for URLs like this: http://example.com/?name=Hannes
- Veezi uses HTTP Record Headers, not the Question Mark displayed in the URL of a browser.
 
2 tutorialsPoint documentation Date PHP - GET & POST Methods   Uses Question Mark, not good enough for Veezi
 
3 www.php.net manual Date getallheaders   I think this sees headers on the local server, "GoDaddy's prupis.info", not "api.us.veezi.com"
 
4 www.php.net manual Date $_REQUEST   This works for the local server, not the Veezi server.
 
5 www.php.net manual Date curl_setopt v01test02processform and    
v01test03processform		 This seems to add the "v01test01processform.php?name=" to the URL on the browser as:
   http://www.prupis.info/classphp/php2022/ch08/v01test01processform.php?name=
 
6 reqbin.com question Date How do I get an XML from the server? [PHP Code]   Instant Sample, may help in adding the header "Action" and value "application/xml".
WYSWIG on left and result panel on the right, I can't see what the URL displays.
 
7 AllPHPTricks tutorial Date Create and Consume Simple REST API in PHP   Simple REST means using the Question Mark.
Not good enough for Veezi APIs.
 
8 codeGrepper example Date "php api call with headers" Code Answer   Example displays the Question Mark,
But I'll still look at it.
 
9 www.php.net manual Date http_get v01test04processform Example displays the Question Mark in the URL on the browser,
But I'll still look at it.

link to written program		 In Headers place the following:
VeeziAccessToken: 19m3sgh48vcax1p9mmhp4dd87w
Accept: application/xml
When done within REQBIN i get back Status: 200 (OK)
This is close, but no cigar. I can't get it to work in my php program.
12 w3schools Try It Editor Current the w3schools "Try It Editor"   Copy and Paste PHP code from Notepad to the left panel,
Click the "Run" button, the results are displayed in the right panel
When I copy and paste "v01test07processform.php" code into the left panel
The right panel displays: bool(false)
I need to figure why, and what variable or method is displaying that.
