Update.
Using the wrapper and increasing the timeout did not solve the problem.
Clearly it works using json & cURL (thank you @claudio) so we have established that my constructs are ok (a big relief).
So I am now trying to cURL the data in as @mikejolley suggested.
The domain has changed as I created another development site under an ssl certificate, everything else is as was.
I am able to get a list of products using my cURL function but when I try and post the product (as Claudio did and using exactly the same data) I get errors.
My calling cURL function looks like this:
function useCurl($data){
/*
* OUR SERVER HAS TROUBLE PARSING THE USERPWD SET_OPT SO WE HAVE TO PUT THE CK:CS IN AS A QUERY STRING
*
*/
$ch = curl_init('https://firmsites.uk/wc-api/v3/products?consumer_key=ck_44a7bf466b5ce25a803d1ca1d50ffa8bb226f2ca&consumer_secret=cs_2edbe30241a3f8250804749354d1613b7c0dcdf8');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('Content-Type: application/json'));
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array('Content-Type: application/json','Content-Length: ' . strlen($data)));//IT DOES NOT LIKE THIS - FAILS AFTER 40 SECS OR SO NO ERRORS DISPLAYED
//echo("<br>$ch<br>");
$result = curl_exec($ch);
$error_number = curl_errno($ch);
echo("<br>cURL returned this error number: $error_number <br><br>");
return $result;
}
My output from this is:
This is the JSON data passed to the useCurl function:

cURL returned this error number: 0
This is the response passed back by the cURL call:
object(stdClass)#6 (1) {
["errors"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
object(stdClass)#9 (2) {
["code"]=>
string(38) "woocommerce_api_missing_callback_param"
["message"]=>
string(22) "Missing parameter data"
}
}
}
I feel that I’m taking up a lot of your time, for which I apologise, but if either of you could take a look at my cURL call and see if it corresponds to claudios I would be very grateful. Learning cURL and debugging a problem is making me a very old man very quickly!
