curl

Contains two classes:

• Curl
• BasicCurl

BasicCurl extends Curl and will automatically use the curlopt's

• ssl_verifypeer
• returntransfer. In addition it will also execute the curl automatically.

If curlopt_returntransfer is set, the response can be retrieved with $curl->getResponse().

use Nichin79\Curl\BasicCurl; OR use Nichin79\Curl\Curl;

Setting the params/options for curl can be done in two ways:

Option 1

$data = [
  'url' => 'https://reqbin.com/echo',
  'method' => 'GET', // Method will automatically be set to GET if not specified
  'headers' => [],
  'options' => [
  'SSL_VERIFYPEER' => false
  ]
];

Option 2

$data = [
  'curlopt_url' => 'https://reqbin.com/echo',
  'curlopt_ssl_verifypeer' => false,
];

Usage

$curl = new Curl($data);

// execute the initiated curl and return the response
$curl->exec();

echo "\r\n";
echo "http status code: " . $curl->httpcode;

Setting url, method, headers and data are optional and can be set inside the options array as well.
