// GET
$result = RestCurl::get($URL, array('id' => 12345678));
// POST
$result = RestCurl::post($URL, array('name' => 'John'));
// PUT
$result = RestCurl::put($URL, array('$set' => array('lastName' => "Smith")));
// DELETE
$result = RestCurl::delete($URL);
And for the $result variable:
Hope it helps
