DEPRECATED !!! ------------------ [](#-deprecated-) **This package is no longer actively maintained. If somebody sends in a pull request with some major security bug then I'll merge it, but other than that I am no longer using CodeIgniter Curl for anything. Framework specific code is something I thought was cool in 2009 when I built this, but I've barely touched it since. Use a framework agnostic equivilent, like [Guzzle](http://guzzlephp.org) or [Requests](http://requests.ryanmccue.info/).** CodeIgniter-cURL is a CodeIgniter library which makes it easy to do simple cURL requests and makes more complicated cURL requests easier too. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) 1. PHP 5.1+ 2. CodeIgniter 1.7.x - 2.0-dev 3. PHP 5 (configured with cURL enabled) 4. libcurl Features -------- [](#features) - POST/GET/PUT/DELETE requests over HTTP - HTTP Authentication - Follows redirects - Returns error string - Provides debug information - Proxy support - Cookies Examples -------- [](#examples) ``` $this->load->library('curl'); ``` ### Simple calls [](#simple-calls) These do it all in one line of code to make life easy. They return the body of the page, or FALSE on fail. ``` // Simple call to remote URL echo $this->curl->simple_get('http://example.com/'); // Simple call to CI URI $this->curl->simple_post('controller/method', array('foo'=>'bar')); // Set advanced options in simple calls // Can use any of these flags http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php $this->curl->simple_get('http://example.com', array(CURLOPT_PORT => 8080)); $this->curl->simple_post('http://example.com', array('foo'=>'bar'), array(CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE => 10)); ``` ### Advanced calls [](#advanced-calls) These methods allow you to build a more complex request. ``` // Start session (also wipes existing/previous sessions) $this->curl->create('http://example.com/'); // Option & Options $this->curl->option(CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 10); $this->curl->options(array(CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE => 10)); // More human looking options $this->curl->option('buffersize', 10); // Login to HTTP user authentication $this->curl->http_login('username', 'password'); // Post - If you do not use post, it will just run a GET request $post = array('foo'=>'bar'); $this->curl->post($post); // Cookies - If you do not use post, it will just run a GET request $vars = array('foo'=>'bar'); $this->curl->set_cookies($vars); // Proxy - Request the page through a proxy server // Port is optional, defaults to 80 $this->curl->proxy('http://example.com', 1080); $this->curl->proxy('http://example.com'); // Proxy login $this->curl->proxy_login('username', 'password'); // Execute - returns responce echo $this->curl->execute(); // Debug data ------------------------------------------------ // Errors $this->curl->error_code; // int $this->curl->error_string; // Information $this->curl->info; // array ``` ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 68% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor4 4 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
