public function rebootDroplet($id) {
		$this->id = $id;
		$this->data = array("type" => "reboot");
		$this->data_string = json_encode($this->data);

		$this->ch = curl_init('https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/'.$this->id.'/actions');
		curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
		curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $this->data_string);
		curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
		    'Authorization: Bearer '.$this->api,
		    'Content-Type: application/json',
		    'Content-Length: ' . strlen($this->data_string))

Hi!

Based on the code you have provided here, the option you need to set is CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER. This will prevent curl from displaying the result it is returned. If you use the following configuration, do you receive the desired output?

public function rebootDroplet($id) { $this->id = $id; $this->data = array(“type” => “reboot”); $this->data_string = json_encode($this->data);

    $this->ch = curl_init('https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/droplets/'.$this->id.'/actions');
    curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
    curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $this->data_string);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Authorization: Bearer '.$this->api,
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Content-Length: ' . strlen($this->data_string))
    );

    $this->result = curl_exec($this->ch);
    return $this->result = true;
}

Hopefully this helps!
