Then execute composer install to pull down the latest release.

Package details can be found at https://packagist.org/packages/bca/curl.

Versioning

This library will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines.

Releases will be numbered with the following format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

• Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
• New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
• Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch

Composer users who would like more granular control over upgrades should restrict their installation to patch updates only using this require key:

"bca/curl": "2.1.*"

Examples

Simple requests can be constructed with just a URL and a method.

$request = new CURL('http://example.com/');
$response = $request->get();

More complex requests build upon that concept by adding methods to the request.

$request = new CURL('http://example.com/');
$response = $request
	->param('aaa', 'bbb')
	->param('xxx', 'yyy')
	->post();

echo $response;

Advanced requests can be built by adding even more methods.

$request = new CURL('http://example.com/');
$response = $request
    ->param('aaa', 'bbb')
    ->param('xxx', 'yyy')
    ->option(CURLOPT_PROXY, '10.0.0.1')
    ->auth('username', 'password', 'digest')
    ->delete();

echo $response;
