I mean, how to run this function from either:

  • Via simple URL with GET, like: www.example.com/adduser/?username=james&password=simpletext&email=myemail
  • Via cURL with POST

.. from external website.

  1. You may try this but also make sure that the listening url has a handler to handle the request in your WordPress end (using GET methof)

    function curlAdduser($strUrl)
{
    if( empty($strUrl) )
    {
        return 'Error: invalid Url given';
    }

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $strUrl);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
    $return = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $return;
}

    Call the function from external site :

    curlAdduser("www.example.com/adduser?username=james&password=simpletext&email=myemail");

    Update : using POST method

    function curlAdduser($strUrl, $data) {
    $fields = '';
    foreach($data as $key => $value) { 
        $fields .= $key . '=' . $value . '&'; 
    }
    $fields = rtrim($fields, '&');

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $strUrl);  
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
    $return = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $return;
}

    Call the function with data

    $data = array(
    "username" => "james",
    "password" => "simpletext",
    "email" => "myemail"
);
curlAdduser("www.example.com/adduser", $data);
