Not sure this is correct but it works for me

Changes line 95-97:

Yii::app()->onEndRequest = function() use(&$ch) {
     curl_close($ch);
};

To:

Yii::app()->onEndRequest=array($this,'closeCurl');

And add this new method to the class:

public function closeCurl() {
     curl_close($this->_ch);
}

This doesn't work with PHP 5.2.9

I get the following error when I try to use this with PHP 5.2.9:

Php Parse Error: syntax error, unexpected T_FUNCTION in /path/to/file/Curl.php on line 95

Can the code be modified to work with PHP 5.2? I'm not familiar with anonymous functions to know how to fix this. Thanks for your help!

http header

my bad..

the http_header should not be an associative array. what you're doing is correct.

HTTP HEADER

Thank you Hackerone.

I had some trouble with this.

I tried to set the header in your example. It wouldn't connect. I get a response of "Not Authorized" $jsonObject = Yii::app()->curl->setOption(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Authorization" => $token ))->get($url);

Used this instead $auth = array('Authorization:'.$token);

$output = Yii::app()->curl->setOption(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $auth)->get($url);

That worked !

Thanks so much for your help and the extension!

use setOption or setOptions

Hi Austin,

you can setOption before getting the url

Yii::app()->curl->setOption(CURLOPT_COOKIE, 'cookie_one=value; cookie_two=value')->get(url);

Yii::app()->curl->setOptions(array(CURLOPT_COOKIE => 'cookie_one=value; cookie_two=value'))->get(url);

same can be done with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER

setOption(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Authorization' => '12345'))

How to use cookies and send info on the curl command

I was trying to use this extension. I created a json string and posted it to authorize a connection. That worked.

I need to send a token with the GET command but not sure how to do it. curl -H "Authorization:12132455dae234234" 'http://api.site.com/getdata'

I could also use a cookie but not sure how to set it up. curl -b cookie 'http://api.site.com/getdata' ;

The way parameters work in the get() they are a suffix to the url. get(url,params)

Any suggestions? Thanks !
