| 27 | +## Examples |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + $this->load->library('curl'); |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +### Simple calls |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +These do it all in one line of code to make life easy. They return the body of the page, or FALSE on fail. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | + // Simple call to remote URL |
| 36 | + echo $this->curl->simple_get('http://example.com/'); |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | + // Simple call to CI URI |
| 39 | + $this->curl->simple_post('controller/method', array('foo'=>'bar')); |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + // Set advanced options in simple calls |
| 42 | + // Can use any of these flags http://uk3.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + $this->curl->simple_get('http://example.com', array(CURLOPT_PORT => 8080)); |
| 45 | + $this->curl->simple_post('http://example.com', array('foo'=>'bar'), array(CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE => 10)); |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +### Advanced calls |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +These methods allow you to build a more complex request. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | + // Start session (also wipes existing/previous sessions) |
| 52 | + $this->curl->create('http://example.com/'); |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | + // Option & Options |
| 55 | + $this->curl->option(CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 10); |
| 56 | + $this->curl->options(array(CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE => 10)); |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | + // More human looking options |
| 59 | + $this->curl->option('buffersize', 10); |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | + // Login to HTTP user authentication |
| 62 | + $this->curl->http_login('username', 'password'); |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | + // Post - If you do not use post, it will just run a GET request |
| 65 | + $post = array('foo'=>'bar'); |
| 66 | + $this->curl->post($post); |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | + // Cookies - If you do not use post, it will just run a GET request |
| 69 | + $vars = array('foo'=>'bar'); |
| 70 | + $this->curl->set_cookies($vars); |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + // Proxy - Request the page through a proxy server |
| 73 | + // Port is optional, defaults to 80 |
| 74 | + $this->curl->proxy('http://example.com', 1080); |
| 75 | + $this->curl->proxy('http://example.com'); |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | + // Proxy login |
| 78 | + $this->curl->proxy_login('username', 'password'); |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | + // Execute - returns responce |
| 81 | + echo $this->curl->execute(); |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | + // Debug data ------------------------------------------------ |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | + // Errors |
| 86 | + $this->curl->error_code; // int |
| 87 | + $this->curl->error_string; |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | + // Information |
| 90 | + $this->curl->info; // array |
