# getInput
The `getInput` function is used to receive a value for a parameter, specified in `const PARAMETERS`
```PHP

# getKey
The `getKey` function is used to receive the key name to a selected list
value given the name of the list, specified in `const PARAMETERS`
Is able to work with multidimensional list arrays.
```PHP
// Given a multidimensional array like this
const PARAMETERS = [[
'country' => [
'name' => 'Country',
'type' => 'list',
'values' => [
'North America' => [
'Mexico' => 'mx',
'United States' => 'us'
],
'South America' => [
'Uruguay' => 'uy',
'Venezuela' => 've'
],
]
]
]],
// Provide the list name to the function
$this->getKey('country');
// if the selected value was "ve", this function will return "Venezuela"
```
`getKey` will either return the key name for your parameter or `null` if the parameter
is unknown or not specified.

# getContents
The `getContents` function uses [cURL](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php) to acquire data from the specified URI while respecting the various settings defined at a global level by RSS-Bridge (i.e., proxy host, user agent, etc.). This function accepts a few parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Optional | Description
| --------- | ------ | ---------- | ----------
| `url` | string | *required* | The URL of the contents to acquire
| `header` | array | *optional* | An array of HTTP header fields to set, in the format `array('Content-type: text/plain', 'Content-length: 100')`, see [CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php)
| `opts` | array | *optional* | An array of cURL options in the format `array(CURLOPT_POST => 1);`, see [curl_setopt](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php) for a complete list of options.
| `returnFull` | boolean | *optional* | Specifies whether to return the response body from cURL (default) or the response body, code, headers, etc.
```PHP
$header = array('Content-type:text/plain', 'Content-length: 100');
$opts = array(CURLOPT_POST => 1);
$html = getContents($url, $header, $opts);
```

# getSimpleHTMLDOM
The `getSimpleHTMLDOM` function is a wrapper for the
[simple_html_dom](https://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.io/) [file_get_html](https://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.io/docs/1.9/api/file_get_html/) function in order to provide context by design.
```PHP
$html = getSimpleHTMLDOM('your URI');
```
[Defined in lib/contents.php](https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/blob/master/lib/contents.php)
# getSimpleHTMLDOMCached
The `getSimpleHTMLDOMCached` function does the same as the
[`getSimpleHTMLDOM`](#getsimplehtmldom) function,
except that the content received for the given URI is stored in a cache
and loaded from cache on the next request if the specified cache duration
was not reached.
Use this function for data that is very unlikely to change between consecutive requests to **RSS-Bridge**.
This function allows to specify the cache duration with the second parameter.
```PHP
$html = getSimpleHTMLDOMCached('your URI', 86400); // Duration 24h
```
