cURL options in php - what option is -u

Question

The reference I have lists an option as:

curl -u 'ExactID:Password'\

Does this mean for me to just use CURLOPT_USERPWD and use the format ExactID:Password?

So now is this related to the PHP libcurl binding or cURL's CLI? — , Sep 13 '12 at 20:40

Yes, the CLI -u option is equivalent to the PHP CURLOPT_USERPWD option, and the value is the same.

Any idea how use [CURLOPT_USERPWD and CURLOPT_PROXY on the same request](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65745669/stripe-api-php-curl-request-behind-a-proxy)? – Pedro Lobito Jan 16 '21 at 01:40
