A simple function to retrieve results from reddit's API

reddit-function.php

<?php
// example usage:
// redditApi('user/flotwig'); will return an array with information about me
// redditApi('r/breakingbad'); will return an array of info about r/breakingbad
function redditApi($call,$domain='www.reddit.com') {
	$url = 'http://' . $domain . '/' . $call . '.json';
	if (function_exists('curl_init')) { // not all PHP installs have cURL
		$ch = curl_init($url);
		curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,TRUE);
		curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'/u/flotwig'); // for stats
		$result = curl_exec($ch);
	} else {
		$result = file_get_contents($url); // slower, but at least it'll still work
	}
	if (!$result) {
		return FALSE; // something broke
	}
	$result = json_decode($result,TRUE);
	curl_close($ch);
	return $result;
}
