- PHP 5.3+
- Yii 1.1.7 (should work on older versions too)
- Curl and php-curl installed
- Place Curl.php into protected/extensions folder of your project
- in main.php, add the following to 'components':
'curl' => array(
'class' => 'ext.Curl',
'options' => array(/.. additional curl options ../)
);
- 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 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
