Yii-curl
Forked from shuber/curl, A base curl wrapper for Yii2 Framework, (*1)
Installation via Composer
composer require maxwen/yii2-curl
, (*2)
Usage
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., (*3)
// set options
$curl = new \maxwen\yii\curl\Curl();
$curlOptions = [
// 'CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST' => true,
'CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER' => false,
'CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER' => true,
'CURLOPT_TIMEOUT' => 30,
];
$curl->options = $curlOptions;
// send requests
$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:, (*4)
$response = $curl->request('YOUR_CUSTOM_REQUEST_TYPE', $url, $vars = array());
All of the built in request methods like put
and get
simply wrap the request
method. For example, the post
method is implemented like:, (*5)
function post($url, $vars = array()) {
return $this->request('POST', $url, $vars);
}
Examples:, (*6)
$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., (*7)
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., (*8)
For example, (*9)
$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, (*10)
<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
, (*11)
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, (*12)
$curl->cookie_file = 'some_other_filename';
This allows you to maintain a session across requests, (*13)
Basic Configuration Options
You can easily set the referer or user-agent, (*14)
$curl->referer = 'http://google.com';
$curl->user_agent = 'some user agent string';
You may even set these headers manually if you wish (see below), (*15)
You can set custom headers to send with the request, (*16)
$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:, (*17)
$curl->follow_redirects = false;
You can set/override many different options for CURL requests (see the curl_setopt documentation for a list of them), (*18)
# any of these will work
$curl->options['AUTOREFERER'] = true;
$curl->options['autoreferer'] = true;
$curl->options['CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER'] = true;
$curl->options['curlopt_autoreferer'] = true;
