Hi guys,

just made this simple Curl wrapper for yii. i've seen one in extensions earlier, but wanted one which is light weight and simpler to use for my project, so made this one.

it's on github

hackerone/curl

thanks for your feedbacks in advance

Seems very easy to use. Thanks for sharing it!

I seem to be having trouble with a simple example.

I get
"Use of undefined constant CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER - assumed 'CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER' "

when executing

$output = Yii::app()->curl->init();

I looked at the package, it seems pretty simple. I can execute curl calls from the command line but it seems
that my package is not configured or something of the sort.

My main.php in config is set like this. Not sure what options I need to set...the init() should be setting them.

'curl' => array(
			'class' => 'ext.Curl',
			//'options' => array(/.. additional curl options ../)
		);

The examples with the yii-curl wrapper were pretty simplistic so maybe I misinterpreted them.

I think your PHP instance doesn't have CURL support.
Is it listed in modules?

If you run phpinfo() on your server you should see if it does or not.

[AustinGeek]

You are probably correct.

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04LTS / NGINX / PHP5 / MySQL

I did do an install php5-curl and it seemed to work cambe back with setting up php5-curl (so it wasn't installed before)
I have been using curl from the command line recently in preparation for this project.

I don't see it when I issue phpinfo()...it comes back with alot of stuff, would curl be in it's own block
right after "core" parameters?

[jacmoe]

It should be in it's own block.

You probably need to enable the module in php.ini.

I am looking at php.ini but don't see anything about curl...

[jacmoe]

php_curl, I guess.

Jacmoe,
You were correct.

php_curl needed to be installed, it gave me a bit of difficulty but I think the problem was having to reboot the server
before the module showed up...Maybe I just needed to restart the webserver...

Works like a charm, thanks again for your help!

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 !

This worked for me....

$auth = array('Authorization:'.$token);
$jsonObject = Yii::app()->curl->setOption(CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $auth)->get($url);
