Curl Wrapper for Yii framework PHP v1.1

Update

• This can now be used for non-Yii applications as well. (still works as a component if you're using Yii)
• Lazy initialization of curl.
• • getHeader method

Requirements

• PHP 5.3+
• Yii 1.1.7 (should work on older versions too)
• Curl and php-curl installed

Setup instructions

• Place Curl.php or git clone into protected/extensions/curl folder of your project
• in main.php, or console.php add the following to 'components':

	'curl' => array(
		'class' => 'ext.curl.Curl',
		'options' => array(/* additional curl options */),
	),

Usage

• to GET a page with default params

	$output = Yii::app()->curl->get($url, $params);
	// output will contain the result of the query
	// $params - query that'll be appended to the url

• to POST data to a page

	$output = Yii::app()->curl->post($url, $data);
	// $data - data that will be POSTed

• to PUT data

	$output = Yii::app()->curl->put($url, $data, $params);
	// $data - data that will be sent in the body of the PUT

• to PATCH data

	$output = Yii::app()->curl->patch($url, $data);
	// $data - data that will be PATCHed

• to DELETE

	$output = Yii::app()->curl->delete($url, $params);
	// $params - query that'll be appended to the url

• to set options before GET or POST

	$output = Yii::app()->curl->setOption($name, $value)->get($url, $params);
	// $name & $value - CURL options
	$output = Yii::app()->curl->setOptions(array($name => $value))->get($get, $params);
	// pass key value pairs containing the CURL options
