PHP curl with WP API, Missing parameter data

I have this curl command that works on command line to create wordpress post

curl --user admin:password -X POST  http://localhost/wordpress/wp-json/posts --data "title=value1&content_raw=value2"

So I want to convert in into Curl with PHP, this the code that I tried

<?php

$username = "admin";
$password = "password";
$host = 'http://localhost/wordpress/wp-json/posts';


$data = array(
    'title'=>'Test WP API',
    'content_raw'=>'Hi this is a test WP API'
    );

$process = curl_init($host);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'));
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$return = curl_exec($process);

However I keep getting error with this code. Below is the CURL result

HTTP/1.1 100 Continue

Can you guys point me which part of the code that I should fix? Update : Problem solved. For guys that encounter the same problem as mine, can refer to my edited question.

Thanks


UPDATE

I found this code to be working, I just need to json_encode the data and CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER is not needed

$username = "admin";
$password = "password";
$host = 'http://localhost/wordpress/wp-json/posts';


$data = array(
    'title'=>'Test WP API',
    'content_raw'=>'Hi this is a test WP API'
    );

//json encode the data to pass via CURL

$data = json_encode($data);

$process = curl_init($host);    
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ":" . $password);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
$return = curl_exec($process);
