### Installation

[](#installation)

To install PHP Curl Rox, Just:

```
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/proclnas/curl-rox.git
cd curl-rox

# install dependencies
composer install

# or require via composer
composer require proclnas/curl-rox
```

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP: 7.3
- ext-curl

### How to use

[](#how-to-use)

#### GET Request

[](#get-request)

```
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use CurlRox\Curl;

try {

    $curl = new Curl;
    $curl->setUri('http://httpbin.org/get');
    $curl->getRequest();
    $r = $curl->getHttpResponse();

    echo $r;
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
```

#### POST Request

[](#post-request)

```
try {
    $curl = new Curl;
    $curl->setUri('http://httpbin.org/post');
    $curl->setPostPayload(['name' => 'Proclnas', 'Language' => 'PHP'])
    $curl->postRequest();
    $r = $curl->getHttpResponse();

    echo $r;
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
```

#### JSON parsing

[](#json-parsing)

Passing true to Curl::getHttpResponse automatically calls a json\_decode($http\_response, true) to the response

```
try {

    $curl = new Curl;
    $curl->setUri('http://httpbin.org/get');
    $curl->setHttpHeaders([
        'X-Requested-With' => 'XMLHttpRequest'
    ]);
    $curl->getRequest();
    $r = $curl->getHttpResponse(true);

    var_dump($r);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
```

#### Parsing with dom (scraping all links in the page)

[](#parsing-with-dom-scraping-all-links-in-the-page)

CurlRox response extends [\\DiDom\\Document::loadHtml](https://github.com/Imangazaliev/DiDOM), allowing easy interaction with dom using the (\\DiDom\\Document $dom) parameter.

DiDom allows to interact with HTML in several ways, see here to more info: [Didom Repo](https://github.com/Imangazaliev/DiDOM)

```
try {
    $curl = new Curl;
    $curl->setUri('http://google.com');
    $curl->getRequest();

    $curl->setCallback(function($httpResponse, \DiDom\Document $dom, Curl $curlRox){
        $elements = $dom->find('a');

        foreach ($elements as $element)
            echo 'Link found: ', $element->attr('href'), PHP_EOL;
    });
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage();
}
```
