How can JSON output be stored and transferred to a different URL in PHP, without altering the original data?

To store and transfer JSON output to a different URL in PHP without altering the original data, you can use the `json_encode` function to convert the data to a JSON string, and then use cURL to send a POST request to the target URL with the JSON data in the body. This way, the original JSON data remains unchanged.

$data = ["key1" => "value1", "key2" => "value2"];
$jsonData = json_encode($data);

$ch = curl_init('http://example.com/target-url');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $jsonData);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type: application/json'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $response;
