note 107540 added to function.curl-exec

I am a more tenacious designer than I am a code monkey; but the sample curl function ended an exhaustive four hour search. I needed to execute a Search URL in a WordPress 3 page in order to return some Real Estate results and my "unnamed" shared server had fopen and load() shut down. The code below was the only code in the whole page; the WP3 theme wrapped around the search results like a mother and child at feeding time. [code] <?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); ?> [code] Whoot!! ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 96.24.42.60 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-exec.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107540 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107540/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107540/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107540/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107540/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107540/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107540/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107540 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107540 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
