PHP Curl Client
===============

[](#php-curl-client)

Very simple curl client. Easy to use and extend to make it into your own custom HTTP client.

✔️ Supports PHP from version 7.3 to 8.4

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require athlon1600/php-curl-client "^1.0"
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

```
use Curl\Client;

$client = new Client();

// returns standardized Response object no matter what
$response = $client->get('https://stackoverflow.com');

// 200
$status = $response->status;

// HTML content
$body = $response->body;

// curl_error() OR null
$error = $response->error;

// CurlInfo instance
$info = $response->info;
```

**Update:** `$response->info` now returns an object that will have an auto-complete on your IDE.

[![](etc/curl-info-ide-autocomplete.gif)](etc/curl-info-ide-autocomplete.gif);

Works with POST requests too:

```
$client->post('http://httpbin.org/post', ['username' => 'bob', 'password' => 'test']);
```

or you can issue a completely customized request:

```
$client->request('GET', 'https://www.whatismyip.com/', null, [
    'User-Agent' => 'Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS 12_0 like Mac OS X)'
], [
    CURLOPT_PROXY => '127.0.0.1:8080',
    CURLOPT_TIMEOUT => 10
]);
```

TODO
----

[](#todo)

- make PSR-7 and PSR-18 compatible
