README

This is a wrapper library for PHP's cURL functions. It allows you to easily send GET and POST requests

Installation

To install this library, include it in your project using composer:

composer require struktal/struktal-curl

Usage

Simple GET or POST requests

The following example shows how to send a GET request to a HTML page:

$curl = new Curl();
$curl->setUrl("URL");
$curl->setMethod(Curl::$METHOD_GET);
$curl->setHeaders([
    "Accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml"
]);
$response = $curl->execute();
$responseCode = $curl->getHttpCode();
$curl->close();

URL is the URL of the server that you want to send the request to.

To send a POST request, simply replace Curl::$METHOD_GET with Curl::$METHOD_POST. However note, that the above example does not send any POST data to the server.

POST requests with data

To send POST data to the server, use the setPostFields() method:

$curl = new Curl();
$curl->setUrl("URL");
$curl->setMethod(Curl::$METHOD_POST);
$curl->setHeaders([
    "Accept: application/json"
]);
$curl->setPostFields([
    "key" => "value"
]);
$response = $curl->execute();
$responseCode = $curl->getHttpCode();
$curl->close();

The above example requests a JSON response from the server with the URL URL and sends the POST data key=value along with the request.

You can also send JSON-encoded POST data by setting the asJson flag of the setPostFields method to true.
