Because cURL isn't simple enough ... apparently ...
Contained is a simple as you like Request and Response object for HTTP requests using the cURL API.
How to get shit done ...
Making a simple GET request:
require_once("vendor/autoload.php"); use DatingVIP\cURL\Request; use DatingVIP\cURL\Response; try { $response = (new Request()) ->setHeadersUsed(true) ->get("http://www.example.com"); } catch (\RuntimeException $ex) { echo (string) $ex; } finally { printf("Got %d bytes from %s in %.3f seconds\n", strlen((string)$response), $response->getURL(), $response->getTime()); }
Making a POST request:
require_once("vendor/autoload.php"); use DatingVIP\cURL\Request; use DatingVIP\cURL\Response; try { $response = (new Request()) ->setHeadersUsed(true) ->post("http://www.example.com", ["hello" => "world"]); } catch (\RuntimeException $ex) { echo (string) $ex; } finally { printf("Posted %d bytes from %s in %.3f seconds\n", strlen((string)$response), $response->getURL(), $response->getTime()); }
If you like to be super verbose about everything for no good reason:
require_once("vendor/autoload.php"); use DatingVIP\cURL\Request; use DatingVIP\cURL\Response; try { $request = new Request([ CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER => [ "x-my-header" => "x-my-value" ], CURLOPT_URL => "http://www.example.com" ]); $response = new Response($request); } catch (\RuntimeException $ex) { echo (string) $ex; } finally { if ($response instanceof Response) { printf("Got %d bytes from %s in %.3f seconds\n", strlen((string)$response), $response->getURL(), $response->getTime()); } }
