Hi Guys,

I know this is not the Programming forums but this forums is related to the wowza and my question is totally related to the WOWZA.

I have check this JSON String

[https://www.wowza.com/forums/content…sh-publishing](https://www.wowza.com/forums/content...sh-publishing))

```auto
<?php
$username = 'test';
$password = 'test';
$data = array(
"restURI" => "http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/myStream/pushpublish/mapentries/ppsource",
"serverName" => "_defaultServer_",
        "sourceStreamName" => "myStream",
        "entryName" => "RTMP",
        "profile" => "rtmp",
        "host" => "rtmp",
        "application" => "myStream",
        "streamName"=> "test",
        "userName" => "",
        "password"=> "",
        "debugPackets"=>"true",
        "sendReleaseStream"=>"false",
        "sendStreamCloseCommands"=>"false",
        "debugLog"=>"true",
        "destinationName"=>"rtmp",
        ); 
    $data_string = json_encode($data);
$url = 'http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/myStream/pushpublish/mapentries/ppsource';
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
    'Content-Type: application/json',
    'Content-Length: ' . strlen($data_string))
);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, $username . ':' . $password);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data_string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec( $ch );
echo $result;
echo "data";

```

ERROR:
