PHP & cURL Not Working -

A reddit bot building.

Ignore the actual API for each other - it does not handle curl even to execute - I can not see any requests / reactions in browsers DevTools.

You may need your $ params urlencode @ should be white space and anything that is not in the url string:

  $ params = array ("client_id" => $ client_id, "response_type" = & Gt; = "Gtc:  

and make this a string:

  $ params = http_build_query ($ params);   
 In addition, as you connect to SSL, you should add these rows: 
 
  curl_setopt ($ CH, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); Curl_setopt ($ CH, CURLOPT_ SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
