cs.punk Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Why not just google it? Get a book? I've never learnt anything usefull from video tutorials on 'programming', besides blender but that's much more of a visual thing. Reading tutorials/books is the best thing you can do.

gizmola Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 There is not much to using php's curl api, and many many curl questions have been answered on this forum in the past. Did you try a forum search? Curl can be used for a variety of different purposes, however for the most part, it's simply a protocol library that talks http, ftp, imap, smtp and a laundry list of other common internet protocols, allowing you to automate activities that you might otherwise do manually via a client, be that browser, email, ftp, telnet etc. Most of the time it's used to do things like fetch data from a server that typically expects a browser -- as in submitting a form and then looking at the results. Curl has lots of built in capabilities that might otherwise require a lot of code, allowing it to handle things like redirects, cookies, and authentication. If you have a specific question feel free to follow up. It's the kind of thing that is quite frankly, so easy to use, you will be far better off spending your time doing a quick curl based script than you will be scouring the internet looking for a video on how to use it.

Are you saying that everything could be done with pure PHP too, but cURL (as a library) makes life much easier similar how jQuery makes life easier?
