lyoshenka/curl
==============

[](#lyoshenkacurl)

A simple wrapper around Curl to make it easy to use.

No more `curl_init()`, no more struggling to get response headers, etc.

Two ways to use it
------------------

[](#two-ways-to-use-it)

### The functional way

[](#the-functional-way)

```
echo \lyoshenka\curl::get('http://httpbin.org/user-agent', [], ['headers' => ['User-Agent' => 'nice!']]);
```

### The fluent OO way

[](#the-fluent-oo-way)

```
echo \lyoshenka\curl::init()
  ->setMethod('GET')
  ->setUrl('http://httpbin.org/user-agent')
  ->setHeader('User-Agent', 'also nice!')
  ->send()
  ->getBody();
```
