 New Comment:

It is the result of an intentional change: https://php.watch/versions/8.0/resource-CurlHandle
(but I could have linked the related upgrading note).

Please note that PHP 8.0 migrated quite a few other resources to objects as well. You can refer to
the documentation or https://github.com/php/php-tasks/issues/6 for
more information.

That is a deliberate change[1].

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
