Using proxies in PHP

Our proxies are suited for use in PHP scripts with curl, a few php code snippets are listed below. Your proxies are delivered as PROXY_IP:PORT_NUMBER like for example 1.2.3.4:0000 so in these examples 1.2.3.4 would be the IP and 0000 would be the port number

HTTP Proxies

$curl=curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,20);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE,CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_PROXY,'1.1.1.1');
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_PROXYPORT,'11111');
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD,'username:password');
curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_URL,'http://www.urlto.get');
$content=curl_exec($curl);

SOCKS proxies

$curl = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 20);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, '1.1.1.1');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXYPORT, '11111');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, 'username:password');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.urlto.get');
$content = curl_exec($curl);
