Description:
------------
Documentation states curl_init() as:

curl_init ([ string $url = NULL ] ) : resource

but the result is an object, not a resource.

Test script:
---------------
$ch = curl_init();

if (is_object($ch)) {
    echo '$ch is an object';
} 

if (is_resource($ch)) {
    echo '$ch is a resource';
} 




Expected result:
----------------
Expected:
$ch is a resource

Currently:
$ch is an object
