Description
int curl_init ([string url])
The curl_init() will initialize a new session and return a CURL handle for use with the curl_setopt(), curl_exec(), and curl_close() functions. If the optional url parameter is supplied then the CURLOPT_URL option will be set to the value of the parameter. You can manually set this using the curl_setopt() function.
Example 1. Initializing a new CURL session and fetching a webpage
<?php $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.zend.com/"); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); ?> |
