curl_init -- Initialize a CURL session
Description
resource curl_init ( [string url])
The curl_init() will initialize a new session and return
a CURL handle for use with the curl_setopt(), curl_exec(),
and curl_close() functions. If the optional url parameter
is supplied then the CURLOPT_URL option will be set to the
value of the parameter. You can manually set this using
the curl_setopt() function. Example 1. Initializing a new
CURL session and fetching a webpage
<?php
// create a new curl resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
// close curl resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>
