Retrieve the response code from header cURL php

Question

I am trying to get the response code from the response header using cURL PHP.

When I send the request, this is the response header that is returned by MYOB AccountRight API:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Request-Context

I have tried the solution from Getting HTTP code in PHP using curl , but I will not get the http code.

This is my code to get the accounts data:

$curl = curl_init();

curl_setopt_array($curl, array(
  CURLOPT_URL => 'https://ar1.api.myob.com/accountright/766d620e-a5eb-41c3-8343-XXXXXXXX/GeneralLedger/Account?$filter=Name%20eq%20\'Inventory\'%20or%20Name%20eq%20\'Cost%20Of%20Sales\'%20or%20Name%20eq%20\'Inventory%20Income\'',
  CURLOPT_HEADER => true,
  CURLOPT_NOBODY => true,
  CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
  CURLOPT_ENCODING => '',
  CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS => 10,
  CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 0,
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION => true,
  CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION => CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1,
  CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'GET',
  CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => array(
    'x-myobapi-version: v2',
    'Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate',
    'x-myobapi-key: '.$theAPIKey,
    'x-myobapi-cftoken: '.$theCFToken,
    'Authorization: Bearer '.$theAccessToken
  )
));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$theInfo = curl_getinfo($response);
$http_code = $theInfo['http_code'];
curl_close($curl);
echo 'http code: ' . $http_code . '<br />';
echo '<pre>';
echo $response;
echo '</pre>';

When I echo the http code, nothing will be printed.

I think you need to pass $curl to the curl_getinfo method, not the $response

$response = curl_exec($curl);
$theInfo = curl_getinfo($curl);
$http_code = $theInfo['http_code'];

You can see the doco here.. https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-getinfo.php
