perform cURL functions in CodeIgniter

Question

I have to perform import-content functions from remote pages from my website using page urls provided by users. In short what digg, mixx, designfloat, etc do when we submit a story using the url. Only I have to do it with CodeIgniter. I would really appreciate if someone could please tell me the best way to do something like this within a CodeIgniter application. Possibly a cURL class made for CodeIgniter or some native class that CodeIgniter already has coz I may not know as I'm still new to CodeIgniter.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I suggest you ask Google first, next time.

Try the CodeIgniter cURL library.

Answer 2

There is a cURL class for CodeIgniter, and it's pretty good:

Answer 3

I wrote the damn library, I should have got the points. :-p
