php Web Get : psWebGet()

This is used to replace file_get_contents() for urls that need
to pass parameters

Just a wrapper if local file, but uses CURL if a http(s) url

note: on update 2.20.6, we reuse the curl object and this fixed
the issue sometimes with servers that have keep-alive on, it
would take a while to close connection.

Usage:

$buffer = psWebGet(URL, [ARRY_OPT]);

(desc in progress)

Example:


$strPage = psWebGet("http://www.google.com");

Code:


function psWebGet($url, $opt=array() )
{
	global $_PHPSALT;

	// curl reuse added
	if ( $_PHPSALT['global/curl'] == false )
	  {
	  $ch = curl_init();
	  $_PHPSALT['global/curl'] =  $ch;
	  }
	else
	  {
	  $ch = $_PHPSALT['global/curl'];
	  }

	if ( $_PHPSALT['proxy'] !="" ) {
	  list($pHost,$pPort) = explode(":",$_PHPSALT['proxy']);
	  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $pHost);
	  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, $pPort);
	  }

	$opt['headers'][] = "X-FN: phpSalt psWebGet";
	if ($opt['accept'] != "") { $opt['headers'][] = "Accept: {$opt['accept']}"; }
	if ($opt['bearer'] != "") { $opt['headers'][] = "Authorization: Bearer {$opt['bearer']}"; }

	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, TRUE);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING,'');
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4);
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $opt['headers']);
	$buffer = curl_exec($ch);
	//curl_close($ch);

	//dprint_pre($opt['headers']);

	if ($opt['trim'] == true) { $buffer = trim($buffer); }
	return $buffer;
}
