[ckan-dev] Cannot post json data to our own ckan server using the Ckan php client

[Nigel Babu]

Hi Lloyd,

We do not officially support the php client. Additionally, it hasn't been
updated in 4 years and is probably using a very old version of the API. I
would recommend using the action API (version 3) directly from PHP.
