I have to transition an existing ColdFusion web application to PHP because of cost. The CF app uses cfhttp to talk to another team's [JSON] API (which creates a ticket given the info we feed it and the API returns a ticket#). The PHP hosting team does not allow API calls, presumably due to security. Is there any other way to do this? The cfhttp substitute would have been cURL in PHP, but is this security restriction a showstopper? Can I utilize Java in some way (not very well versed) or other workarounds?
