$data = ['key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2'];
$url = 'http://example.com/api/resource?' . http_build_query($data);

// Set up cURL
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);

// Set up DELETE request
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE");

// Send the request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Check for errors
if ($response === false) {
  die(curl_error($ch));
}

// Decode the response
$responseData = json_decode($response, true);
if (json_last_error() !== JSON_ERROR_NONE) {
  die('JSON decode error: ' . json_last_error_msg());
}

// Print the response data

// Free resources
