在joomla / php应用程序中使用第三方Web服务API

Question

I am creating a custom application using the joomla platform. I have some 3rd party web service APIs that I need to use in my application.

I'm not really sure how I will send and get the information from the API. Is it possible to do the same thing a browser does ie send get/post requests to the API, and have a response returned?

Answer 1

Found the JHttpTransportCurl class in the joomla API. Looks like that will work.

Answer 2

Please take at look at the the curl extension. This allows you to make calls like a browser.
