I have to construct URL for a rest api delete call in php. For it I need to generate a url dynamically for each of the items in a list. The url is of the form localhost/tasks/delete/task_id where task_id is the variable for each item, I also need to put an authorization header in the url which would contain api key. I have to anchor this url to a link in html.

I can append the task_id but I couldn't find a way to include the header. Please provide in code/pseudo code how to do this.

You can't include header in url-only call – Vitaly Dyatlov Oct 25 '14 at 07:07

if you want a user from browser to access the api, then you can try this: `user:password@localhost/tasks/delete/task_id` – Vitaly Dyatlov Oct 25 '14 at 07:08
