That looks to me like an example curl command-line that would simulate their
servers sending a request to your site, and is something that gets discussed on
this list.

That's an example of the PHP/CURL binding, which is not a topic of this list.

That's a question for a PHP mailing list; this mailing list covers the curl
command-line tool. But, as a hint, if I understand your request correctly, you
don't need PHP/CURL for this operation. You probably want a basic PHP form
handler that decodes JSON, e.g. json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'));
