note 120224 added to function.curl-reset

If you're reusing a cUrl handle and want to ensure there's no residue from previous options -- but are frustrated with resetting the basics (e.g. FTP details) needed for each cURL call -- then here's an easy pattern to fix that: <?php class cUrlicue { protected $curl; /* Create the cURL handle */ function __construct() { $this->curl = curl_init(); $this->curl_init_opts(); curl_exec($this->curl); } /* Reload your base options */ function curl_init_opts() { $opts[CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS] = CURLPROTO_FTP; $opts[CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER] = true; $opts[CURLOPT_USERPWD] = 'user:pass'; //... curl_setopt_array($this->curl, $opts); } /* Use when making a new cURL call */ function curl_exec($opts) { curl_reset($this->curl); // clears all old options $this->curl_init_opts(); // sets base options again curl_setopt_array($this->curl, $opts); // sets your new options return curl_exec($this->curl); } /* Your whatever cURL method */ function curl_get_whatever() { $opts[CURLOPT_URL] = 'ftp://.../whatever'; //... $result = $this->curl_exec($opts); // ... } } ?> Then: each call to $this->curl_exec() from your whatever-method resets the previous options, reloads the base options, adds in your new options, and returns the result. Otherwise, can also put your base options into a class property, instead of in-method, if there's nothing dynamic being defined.
