note 33665 added to ref.curl

IMHO the example code is somewhat confusing; the fopen() and fclose() are not needed at all, AFAICT. By default the resulting data/page of the external server is just printed out. To assign the result of the curl session to a variable, one can use - output buffering (see ob_start(), ob_get_contents()) - curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); With the latter, the result of curl_exec is the actual data instead of a boolean. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.curl.php Edit Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+33665 Delete Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+33665&report=yes Reject Note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+33665&report=yes
