Neurolinker Without Curl
I had a few customers who had access to PHP on their sites, but their hosting account did not allow the use of curl. Curl is the package inside PHP that allows PHP to communicate between servers, and my code needs this to get the linkpage HTML for each site. But since curl isn't available for some people, I decided to develop a version that didn't use curl. Instead it uses native low level network communication functions inside PHP to do the HTTP GET command directly. For the end user, this simply means they have an additional PHP file to install on their servers to make the thing work. But users report that it works fine, so now there is indeed an option available for people who have PHP without curl.
