Best way to call Rest API presented on the same server

I have a JSON based REST API implemented using PHP that will be called from my mobile app. I have a website deployed on the same server where the REST API existed. What is the best way to use the existing functionality, is it by sending a cURL request to my API or just by including actual model classes source code and calling those functions?

If they're logically part of the same application, you might consider implementing the functionality of the REST API as a helper function. Then, you can include that function (and whatever model classes it needs) and get the code re-use without the overhead of creating another request.
