(PHP Extension) curl Dependency Engine Simple Example

See more CURL Examples

This example demonstrates a simple way to define curl commands with declared inputs and outputs, and then execute a target command by automatically resolving its dependencies.

When the DoYourThing method is called with the target curl command, the following occurs:

• Scans the curl command for required inputs using the {{variable}} syntax
• Determines which of those inputs already have values
• For any missing inputs:
  • Locates another curl command that can produce the needed value
  • Recursively resolves that command’s own inputs in the same way
• Constructs an execution plan so that each curl command runs only after all of its required inputs are available

The execution plan is then carried out, with the final step being the target curl command originally passed to DoYourThing.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.5.0 or greater.
