Curl wrapper for Yii framework

Primary LanguagePHP

Curl Wrapper for Yii framework PHP v1.1

Update

  • This can now be used for non-Yii applications as well. (still works as a component if you're using Yii)
  • Lazy initialization of curl.
    • getHeader method

Requirements

  • PHP 5.3+
  • Yii 1.1.7 (should work on older versions too)
  • Curl and php-curl installed

Setup instructions

  • Place Curl.php or git clone into protected/extensions/curl folder of your project
  • in main.php, or console.php add the following to 'components':
	'curl' => array(
		'class' => 'ext.curl.Curl',
		'options' => array(/* additional curl options */),
	),

Usage

  • to GET a page with default params
	$output = Yii::app()->curl->get($url, $params);
	// output will contain the result of the query
	// $params - query that'll be appended to the url
  • to POST data to a page
	$output = Yii::app()->curl->post($url, $data);
	// $data - data that will be POSTed
  • to PUT data
	$output = Yii::app()->curl->put($url, $data, $params);
	// $data - data that will be sent in the body of the PUT
  • to DELETE
	$output = Yii::app()->curl->delete($url, $params);
	// $params - query that'll be appended to the url
  • to set options before GET or POST
	$output = Yii::app()->curl->setOption($name, $value)->get($url, $params);
	// $name & $value - CURL options
	$output = Yii::app()->curl->setOptions(array($name => $value))->get($get, $params);
	// pass key value pairs containing the CURL options
