cURL in drupal 8 OR webservice in drupal

https://www.drupal.org/node/1838208

I have used both with good results drupal_http_request() is somewhat simpler to use in my opinion but cURL provides more options.
Here are two sample examples for a custom module.

drupal_http_request();

<?php 

DEFINE(MY_URL, 'http://test.com');

myfunction_init() {

    
  $data = array(
      'my_role' => test,
      'password' => 'test',
      'my_id' => test,
  
    );
    $options = array(
                'method' => 'POST',
                'data' => drupal_http_build_query($data),
                'timeout' => 15,
                'headers' => array('Content-Type' => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'),
    );
    $result = drupal_http_request(MY_URL, $options);

?>

cURL

<?php

function _custommodule_execute($email, $fname, $lname) {

    $id = '94sdf'; 
    $test = 'asdf343'; 

    $url = 'http://test_urlr';
    $query = sprintf('test1=%s&test2=1&test3=%s&test4=%s&test5=%s&test6=%s', $id, $test, $email, $fname, $lname);
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $query);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 15);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); 
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 

    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    $error = curl_error($ch);

    curl_close($ch);

}
?>

$domain_name = substr(strrchr($edit[mail], "@"), 1);
$domain = explode('.', $domain_name);


$machine_name = 'companies';
  $v = taxonomy_vocabulary_machine_name_load($machine_name);
  $terms = taxonomy_get_tree($v->vid);
 
  foreach ($terms as $term) {

 if($term->name == $domain[0]){
  $edit[field_user_companies]['und'][0] = $term->tid;
  user_save($account, $edit);
 }
  }

get specific taxonomy below taxonomy in custom module in drupal 7

$machine_name = 'companies';
  $v = taxonomy_vocabulary_machine_name_load($machine_name);
  $terms = taxonomy_get_tree($v->vid);
  foreach ($terms as $term) {
    $options[$term->tid] = $term->name;
  }
  //return $options;
print_r( $options);exit;

How can I override field validation with a hook_alter_form

Let's say that I want to modify the validation of this field and display a different error message instead of the one shown above, something like "Please type your name" and I want this to happen only when using one particular theme. So I've added the code below into the file "template.php" that resides inside the theme's foder:

function mytheme_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
    if($form_id == 'forward_form') {

$form['#validate'][] = 'my_custom_validation';
    }
}

function my_custom_validation($form, &$form_state) {
       if (!$form_state['values']['name'] ) {
          form_set_error('name', t('Please type your name.'));
      }
}








//Implements hook_form_alter for resource under page webform validation error message change function globalfd_form_alter( &$form, &$form_state, $form_id) { if($form_id == 'webform_client_form_83') { unset($form['#validate'][0]); $form['#validate'][1] = 'my_custom_validation'; } } function my_custom_validation($form, &$form_state) { //get value from webform field $phone = $form_state['values']['submitted']['phone']; $email = $form_state['values']['submitted']['email']; //phone number validation if(preg_match("/^\(?(\d{3})\)?[-\. ]?(\d{3})[-\. ]?(\d{4})$/", $phone) || $phone == '') { // $phone is valid } else { form_set_error('phone', t('Not a valid 10-digit US phone number (Please use 1 of the following formats 999-999-9999 or 0001112222 )')); } //email validation if ($email != '') { if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { form_set_error('phone', t('email is not a valid email address')); } }else{ form_set_error('phone', t('email address is required')); } }
