URL request / Toodledo

[grogers]

I'm struggle to build an appropriately formatted URL request for a particular API (not really important which, but it's for Toodledo).

 

The API documentation says:

Tasks are edited by POSTing a URL encoded JSON encoded array to the API. Each element in the array will be a task object. You only need to set the fields that you want to set. For efficiency, you should try to send only the fields that have changed. At this time it is not possible to post XML data to Toodledo.

 

http://api.toodledo.com/2/tasks/edit.php?key=YourKey;

tasks=[{"id"%3A"1234"%2C"title"%3A"My Task"}%2C{"id"%3A"1235"%2C"title"%3A"Another Task"%2C"star"%3A"1"}];

fields=folder,star

 

I've tried about 100 different combinations of code like the following:

 

$arr = array ('id'=>$id,'completed'=>1,'reschedule'=>1);
$tasks = json_encode(array($arr));

$params = array('key'=> $this->key);
$params['tasks'] = $tasks ;
$params['fields'] = 'id,completed,reschedule' ;

$url="http://api.toodledo.com/2/tasks/edit.php?".http_build_query($params) ;

$response = file_get_contents($url);

 

None seems to get me to a URL formatted like they ask.  Can someone help me out?  I'm tired of banging my head against the table.

 

[Note... the fields I'm passing in single element of the $tasks array are different than in the example... but it's the format, not the content, that I can't get right]

 

Thanks in advance!
