I prefer to use cURL, but how do you use that properly? Do you mean the "curl" from the command line, or the equivalent PHP function that acts like it?
Run the commad using "exec" function?

This might sound silly since I'm a newbie but what would be the best way
to
call the API from a php script ? This is what I did :-
<?php echo exec( "lynx -dump
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&search=Malaysia&... "
); ?> Any suggestions?
Use cURL, or a PHP client library [1].
