Download the PHP package carlescliment/curl without Composer

On this page you can find all versions of the php package carlescliment/curl. It is possible to download/install these versions without Composer. Possible dependencies are resolved automatically.

FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package curl

curl

A basic CURL wrapper for PHP (see http://php.net/curl for more information about the libcurl extension for PHP)

Installation

Add this line to your composer.json:

Usage

Initialization

Composer should autoload the package, so you just need to include it

use shuber\Curl\Curl;

$curl = new Curl;

Performing a Request

The Curl object supports 5 types of requests: HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. You must specify a url to request and optionally specify an associative array or string of variables to send along with it.

$response = $curl->head($url, $vars = array());
$response = $curl->get($url, $vars = array()); # The Curl object will append the array of $vars to the $url as a query string
$response = $curl->post($url, $vars = array());
$response = $curl->put($url, $vars = array());
$response = $curl->delete($url, $vars = array());

To use a custom request methods, you can call the request method:

$response = $curl->request('YOUR_CUSTOM_REQUEST_TYPE', $url, $vars = array());

All of the built in request methods like put and get simply wrap the request method. For example, the post method is implemented like:

function post($url, $vars = array()) {
    return $this->request('POST', $url, $vars);
}

Examples:

$response = $curl->get('google.com?q=test');

# The Curl object will append '&some_variable=some_value' to the url
$response = $curl->get('google.com?q=test', array('some_variable' => 'some_value'));

$response = $curl->post('test.com/posts', array('title' => 'Test', 'body' => 'This is a test'));

All requests return a CurlResponse object (see below) or false if an error occurred. You can access the error string with the $curl->error() method.

The CurlResponse Object

A normal CURL request will return the headers and the body in one response string. This class parses the two and places them into separate properties.

For example

$response = $curl->get('google.com');
echo $response->body; # A string containing everything in the response except for the headers
print_r($response->headers); # An associative array containing the response headers

Which would display something like

<html>
<head>
<title>Google.com</title>
</head>
<body>
Some more html...
</body>
</html>

Array
(
    [Http-Version] => 1.0
    [Status-Code] => 200
    [Status] => 200 OK
    [Cache-Control] => private
    [Content-Type] => text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
    [Date] => Wed, 07 May 2008 21:43:48 GMT
    [Server] => gws
    [Connection] => close
)

The CurlResponse class defines the magic __toString() method which will return the response body, so echo $response is the same as echo $response->body

Cookie Sessions

By default, cookies will be stored in a file called curl_cookie.txt. You can change this file's name by setting it like this

$curl->cookie_file = 'some_other_filename';

This allows you to maintain a session across requests

Basic Configuration Options

You can easily set the referer or user-agent

$curl->referer = 'http://google.com';
$curl->user_agent = 'some user agent string';

You may even set these headers manually if you wish (see below)

Setting Custom Headers

You can set custom headers to send with the request

$curl->headers['Host'] = 12.345.678.90;
$curl->headers['Some-Custom-Header'] = 'Some Custom Value';

Setting Custom CURL request options

By default, the Curl object will follow redirects. You can disable this by setting:

$curl->follow_redirects = false;

You can set/override many different options for CURL requests (see the curl_setopt documentation for a list of them)

# any of these will work
$curl->options['AUTOREFERER'] = true;
$curl->options['autoreferer'] = true;
$curl->options['CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER'] = true;
$curl->options['curlopt_autoreferer'] = true;

Testing

Uses ztest, simply download it to path/to/curl/test/ztest (or anywhere else in your php include_path)

Then run test/runner.php
