//$post_fields = 'showpw=0&challengev=null&myval=42'; // will also work
$post_fields = array( 'showpw' => 0, 'challengev' => true, 'myval' => 42 );
//$cookie = "eins=1;zwei=2;drei=3"; // will also work
$cookie = array( 'eins' => 1, 'zwei' => 2, 'drei' => 3 );
$timeout = 5; // Timeout in seconds

Create an Instance of the Class

$CURL = new CURL();

full example

$RESULT = $CURL->curl( $url, $headers, $post_fields, $cookie, $timeout );

whithout timeout, use default 5 seconds

$RESULT = $CURL->curl( $url, $headers, $post_fields, $cookie );

also whithout any cookie data, default is false

$RESULT = $CURL->curl( $url, $headers, $post_fields );

also whithout any post data (this results in a GET Request), default is null

$RESULT = $CURL->curl( $url, $headers );

also whithout any header data, default is null

$RESULT = $CURL->curl( $url );

same result as before, but with full writen arguments

$RESULT = $CURL->curl( $url, null, null, false, 5 );
