composer require anlutro/curl - pick the latest version number from Packagist or the GitHub tag list.
Note that while on version 0.x I will not guarantee backwards compatibility between minor versions. Specify the version in your composer.json if you don't want/need to keep up with new features, or use a more mature library.
<?php
$curl = new anlutro\cURL\cURL;
$response = $curl->get('http://www.google.com');
// easily build an url with a query string
$url = $curl->buildUrl('http://www.google.com', ['s' => 'curl']);
$response = $curl->get($url);
// post() takes an array of POST data
$url = $curl->buildUrl('http://api.myservice.com', ['api_key' => 'my_api_key']);
$response = $curl->post($url, ['post' => 'data']);
// add "json" to the start of the method to post as JSON
$response = $curl->jsonPut($url, ['post' => 'data']);
// a response object is returned
var_dump($response->code); // response status code (for example, '200 OK')
echo $response->body;
var_dump($response->headers); // array of headers
var_dump($response->info); // array of curl info
?>If you need to send headers or set cURL options you can manipulate a request object instead. send() finalizes the request and returns the result.
<?php
// newRequest or newJsonRequest returns a Request object
$result = $curl->newRequest('post', $url, ['foo' => 'bar'])
->setHeader('content-type', 'application/json')
->setHeader('Accept', 'json')
->setOptions([CURLOPT_VERBOSE => true])
->send();
?>cURL comes with a Laravel service provider and facade.
Add anlutro\cURL\Laravel\cURLServiceProvider to the array of providers in app/config/app.php.
Optionally, add 'cURL' => 'anlutro\cURL\Laravel\cURL' to the array of aliases in the same file.
Replace $curl-> with cURL:: in the examples above.
