curl_setopt

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.2, PHP 5)

curl_setopt — Bir cURL aktarım seçeneği tanımlar

Açıklama

bool curl_setopt ( resource $ct , int $seçenek , mixed $değer )

Belirtilen cURL oturum tanıtıcısı üzerinde bir seçenek tanımlar.

Değiştirgeler

ct

curl_init() işlevinden dönen bir cURL tanıtıcısı.

seçenek

Atanacak CURLOPT_XXX seçeneği.

değer

Atanacak seçenek değeri.

değer değiştirgesine aşağıdaki seçenek 'ler için bir mantıksal değer atanmalıdır:

Seçenek	Atanacak `değer`	Ek bilgi
`CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER`	Bir Location: yönlendirmesini izleyen bir isteğin Referer: başlığının özdevinimli olarak atanması için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER`	`CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER` kullanıldığında ham çıktı dönmesi için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION`	Oturumu yeni bir çerez oturumu olarak imlemek için `TRUE` olmalıdır. libcurl'un önceki oturumdan yüklenecek oturum çerezlerini yoksaymasına sebep olur. Öntanımlı olarak libcurl, oturum çerezi olup olmadıklarına bakmaksızın tüm çerezleri daima saklar ve yükler. Oturum çerezleri için belli bir zaman aşımı yoktur ve atandıkları oturum boyunca etkindirler.
`CURLOPT_CRLF`	Aktarım sırasında Unix satırsonlarını CRLF satırsonlarına dönüştürmek için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE`	Küresel DNS önbelleğini kullanmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Bu seçenek evreler bakımından güvenli değildir ve öntanımlı olarak etkindir.
`CURLOPT_FAILONERROR`	Dönen HTTP kodunun 400'e eşit veya büyük olması durumunda sessiz kalmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Öntanımlı davranış kodu yok sayıp sayfayı normal olarak döndürmektir.
`CURLOPT_FILETIME`	Uzak belgenin değişiklik tarihi alınmaya çalışılacaksa `TRUE` olmalıdır. Bu değer, curl_getinfo() ile `CURLINFO_FILETIME` seçeneği kullanılarak alınabilir.
`CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION`	HTTP başlığının bir parçası olarak sunucunun gönderdiği "Location: " başlığını izlemek için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Bu izleme, `CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS` tanımlanmadıkça ardışıktır, yani PHP gönderilen tüm "Location: " başlıklarını izleyecektir.
`CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE`	İşlem bittiğinde yeniden kullanım için havuzlanmaksızın ve beklemeksizin bağlantının mutlaka kapatılması için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT`	Önbellektekini kullanmaksızın yeni bir bağlantı açmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT`	Etkin FTP indirmeleri yapılırken EPRT (ve LPRT) kullanmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. EPRT ve LPRT'yi iptal edip sadece PORT kullanmak için `FALSE` kullanın.
`CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV`	PASV'ye dönmeden önce FTP aktarımı için önce EPSV komutunu denemek için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND`	Uzak dosyanın üzerine yazmak yerine sonuna ekleme yapmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_FTPASCII`	`CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT` için takma addır; onun yerine bunu kullanın.
`CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY`	Sadece FTP dizinindeki isimler listelenecekse `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_HEADER`	Çıktıda başlık bulunması için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_HTTPGET`	HTTP istek yönteminin GET olması için `TRUE` olmalıdır. GET öntanımlı olduğundan bu sadece istek yöntemi değiştiğinde işe yarar.
`CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL`	Belirtilen HTTP vekili üzerinden tünel kullanılacaksa `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_MUTE`	cURL işlevleriyle ilgili olarak tamamen sessiz kalınması için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_NETRC`	Bağlantı kurulan uzak site için kullanıcı adını ve parolasını bulmak amacıyla `~/.netrc` dosyasına bakılmasını sağlamak için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_NOBODY`	Çıktıdaki gövdeyi dışlamak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Ardından istek yöntemi HEAD yapılır. Bunu `FALSE` olarak değiştirmek yöntemi GET yapmaz.
`CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS`	cURL aktarımının gelişim göstergesini kapatmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Bilginize: PHP bu seçeneğe öntanımlı olarak `TRUE` atar. Bu sadece hata ayıklama amacıyla değiştirlmelidir.
`CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL`	PHP sürecine bir sinyal gönderilmesine sebep olan cURL işlevlerini yoksaymak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Çok evreli SAPI'lerde, öntanımlı olarak böyledir; dolayısıyla zaman aşımı seçenekleri hala kullanılabilir olur.	cURL 7.10'da eklendi.
`CURLOPT_POST`	Normal bir HTTP POST yapmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Bu, HTML formlarında sıklıkla kullanılan normal application/x-www-form-urlencoded çeşididir.
`CURLOPT_PUT`	Bir dosyaya HTTP PUT yapmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Bu dosya `CURLOPT_INFILE` ve `CURLOPT_INFILESIZE` ile atanmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER`	Aktarımı doğrudan çıktılamak yerine bir dizge olarak curl_exec() işlevinden döndürmek için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER`	cURL'un eş sertifikasını doğrulamayı durdurması için `FALSE` olmalıdır. Doğrulayıcı diğer sertifikalar `CURLOPT_CAINFO` seçeneği ile belirtilebileceği gibi `CURLOPT_CAPATH` seçeneği ile bir sertifika dizini de belirtilebilir. Ayrıca, `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST` seçeneği de `TRUE` veya `FALSE` olabilir (öntanımlı olarak 2 olan `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER` iptal edilmişse).	cURL 7.10 itibariyle öntanımlı olarak `TRUE`'dur.
`CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT`	FTP aktarımlarında ASCII kip kullanmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır. LDAP için veri, HTML yerine salt metin olarak alınır. Windows sistemlerinde, STDOUT'a ikil kip atanmaz.
`CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH`	(`CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` kullanarak) Location: yönlendirmelerini izlerken konut ismi değişse bile, kullanıcı ve parola gönderimini sağlamak için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_UPLOAD`	Karşıya yüklemeye hazır olmak için `TRUE` olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_VERBOSE`	Ayrıntılı bilgi çıktılanması için `TRUE` olmalıdır. Çıktıyı standart hataya veya `CURLOPT_STDERR` kullanarak belirtilen dosyaya yazar.

değer değiştirgesine aşağıdaki seçenek 'ler için bir tamsayı atanmalıdır:

Seçenek	Atanacak `değer`	Ek bilgi
`CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE`	Okuma için kullanılacak tamponun boyutu. Ancak, bu isteğin yerine getirileceğinin bir garantisi yoktur.	cURL 7.10'da eklendi.
`CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY`	`CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED` veya `CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST` olabilir. Bunlardan başka CURLCLOSEPOLICY_ önekli üç sabit daha vardır, ancak, bunlar cURL tarafından henüz desteklenmemektedir.
`CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT`	Saniye cinsinden bağlantının deneneceği süre. Bağlantının sonsuza kadar beklenmesi için 0 kullanın.
`CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS`	Milisaniye cinsinden bağlantının deneneceği süre. Bağlantının sonsuza kadar beklenmesi için 0 kullanın.	cURL 7.16.2'de eklendi. PHP 5.2.3'ten beri kullanılabilmektedir.
`CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT`	Saniye cinsinden DNS girdilerinin bellekte kalma süresi. Bu seçeneğin öntanımlı değeri 120 saniyedir.
`CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH`	FTP kimlik doğrulama yöntemi (etkinse): CURLFTPAUTH_SSL (önce SSL denenir), CURLFTPAUTH_TLS (önce TLS denenir) veya CURLFTPAUTH_DEFAULT (cURL karar verir).	cURL 7.12.2'de eklendi.
`CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION`	`CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE` (öntanımlı olup hangi sürümün kullanılacağına CURL karar verir), `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0` (HTTP/1.0 zorlanır), veya `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1` (HTTP/1.1 zorlanır).
`CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH`	HTTP kimlik doğrulama yöntem(ler)i: `CURLAUTH_BASIC` , `CURLAUTH_DIGEST` , `CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE` , `CURLAUTH_NTLM` , `CURLAUTH_ANY` ve `CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE` . Birden fazla yöntem belirtilecekse sabitler arasında bitsel VEYA işleci kullanılabilir. Bu takdirde, cURL belirtilen yöntemlerden hangisinin sunucu tarafından en iyi desteklendiğini saptamaya çalışır ve onu kullanır. `CURLAUTH_ANY` sabiti CURLAUTH_BASIC \| CURLAUTH_DIGEST \| CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE \| CURLAUTH_NTLM ifadesi için bir kısaltmadır. `CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE` sabiti CURLAUTH_DIGEST \| CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE \| CURLAUTH_NTLM ifadesi için bir kısaltmadır.
`CURLOPT_INFILESIZE`	Dosya karşıya yüklenirken dosyanın bayt cinsinden tahmini boyutu.
`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT`	PHP'nin aktarımın çok yavaş olduğunu varsayarak çıkması için, `CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME` saniye süresince aktarımın altında kalacağı, saniyedeki bayt sayısı olarak aktarım hızı.
`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME`	PHP'nin aktarımın çok yavaş olduğunu varsayarak çıkması için, aktarım hızının `CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT`'in altında kalacağı, saniye cinsinden aktarım süresi.
`CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS`	İzin verilen kalıcı bağlantıların azami sayısı. Bu sınıra ulaşıldığında hangi bağlantının kapatılacağını saptamak için `CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY` kullanılır.
`CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS`	İzlenecek HTTP yönlendirmelerinin azami sayısı. `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` ile birlikte kullanılır.
`CURLOPT_PORT`	Bağlantı için kullanılacak ikincil port numarası.
`CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS`	*`CURLPROTO_` değerlerinden oluşan bir bit maskesi. libcurl'un aktarımda kullanabileceği protokolleri belirler. Bu seçenek, kurulu libcurl'un geniş bir protokol çeşidini desteklemesini gerektirir. Seçenekle bu protokollerin bir alt kümesi belirtilebilir. libcurl öntanımlı olarak, desteklediği tüm protokolleri kabul edecektir. Ayrıca, `CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS`** seçeneğine de bakınız. Olası protokol seçenekleri: `CURLPROTO_HTTP` , `CURLPROTO_HTTPS` , `CURLPROTO_FTP` , `CURLPROTO_FTPS` , `CURLPROTO_SCP` , `CURLPROTO_SFTP` , `CURLPROTO_TELNET` , `CURLPROTO_LDAP` , `CURLPROTO_LDAPS` , `CURLPROTO_DICT` , `CURLPROTO_FILE` , `CURLPROTO_TFTP` , `CURLPROTO_ALL`	cURL 7.19.4'te eklendi.
`CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH`	Vekil bağlantı için kullanılacak HTTP kimlik doğrulama yöntem(ler)i. `CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH` seçeneğindeki bit maskesi kullanılır. Vekil kimlik doğrulaması için şimdilik sadece `CURLAUTH_BASIC` ve `CURLAUTH_NTLM` desteklenmektedir.	cURL 7.10.7'de eklendi.
`CURLOPT_PROXYPORT`	Bağlanılacak vekil port numarası. Port numarası `CURLOPT_PROXY` ile de atanabilir.
`CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE`	`CURLPROXY_HTTP` (öntanımlı) veya `CURLPROXY_SOCKS5` olabilir.	cURL 7.10'da eklendi.
`CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS`	*`CURLPROTO_` değerlerinden oluşan bir bit maskesi. `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` etkin olduğu takdirde, bir yönlendirme izlenirken libcurl'un aktarımda kullanacağı protokoller belirtilir. Bu seçenek, yönlendirmelerde aktarımın belli protokollerle sınırlanmasına imkan verir. libcurl öntanımlı olarak FILE ve SCP haricinde tüm protokollere izin verir. Bu davranış, izlemelerde tüm protokollerin koşulsuz olarak desteklendiği 7.19.4 öncesi sürümlerden farklıdır. Protokol sabitleri için `CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS`** seçeneğine de bakınız.	cURL 7.19.4'te eklendi.
`CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM`	Bayt cinsinden aktarımın devam ettirileceği konum.
`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST`	SSL eş sertifikasında ortak bir ismin varlığına bakılması için 1 olmalıdır. Ortak bir ismin varlığının yanında sağlanan konak ismi ile eşleşmenin de aranması için 2 olmalıdır.
`CURLOPT_SSLVERSION`	Kullanılacak SSL sürümü (2 veya 3). Öntanımlı olarak PHP bunu kendi saptamaya çalışırsa da bazı durumlarda bunun elle belirtilmesi gerekir.
`CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION`	`CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE` değerinin nasıl ele alınacağı belirtilir. Sayfayı sadece, `CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE` ile belirtilen süre içinde değiştirilmediği takdirde döndürmek için `CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE` kullanın. Sayfa değişmişse, `CURLOPT_HEADER` seçeneğinin `TRUE` olduğu varsayımıyla "304 Not Modified" (304 değişiklik yok) başlığı döndürülür. Bu davranışı ters çevirmek için `CURL_TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE` kullanın. `CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE` öntanımlıdır.
`CURLOPT_TIMEOUT`	cURL işlevlerinin çalışmasına izin verilecek azami saniye sayısı.
`CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS`	cURL işlevlerinin çalışmasına izin verilecek azami milisaniye sayısı.	cURL 7.16.2'de eklendi. PHP 5.2.3'ten beri kullanılabilmektedir.
`CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE`	1 Ocak 1970'den beri geçen saniye sayısı. Bu değer `CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION` tarafından kullanılır. `CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE` öntanımlıdır.

değer değiştirgesine aşağıdaki seçenek 'ler için bir dizge atanmalıdır:

Seçenek	Atanacak `değer`	Ek bilgi
`CURLOPT_CAINFO`	Eşle doğrulanacak bir veya daha fazla sertifikanın tutulduğu dosyanın ismi. Bu sadece `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER` ile birlikte kullanıldığında anlamlıdır.
`CURLOPT_CAPATH`	Çok sayıda CA sertifikasının tutulduğu dizinin yolu. `CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER` seçeneğiyle birlikte kullanılır.
`CURLOPT_COOKIE`	HTTP isteğinde kullanılacak "Set-Cookie: " başlığının içeriği. Bir noktalı virgülden sonra gelen bir boşlukla ayrılarak çok sayıda çerez belirtilebilir ("meyve=elma; renk=turkuaz" gibi).

`CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR`	Bağlantı kapandığında tüm dahili çerezlerin kaydedileceği dosyanın ismi.
`CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST`	Bir HTTP isteği yaparken "GET" veya "HEAD" yerine kullanılacak özel istek yöntemi. "DELETE" veya biraz daha çapraşık HTTP istekleri yapmak için kullanışlıdır. Geçerli değerlerin bazıları: "GET", "POST", "CONNECT"; yani, istek satırının tamamını buraya girmeyin. Örneğin, "GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" girdisi yanlış olacaktır. Bilginize: Belirteceğiniz istek yöntemini sunucunun desteklediğinden emin olmadan bir şey belirtmeyin.
`CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET`	Bozunum değerlerini toplama uygulamasına bir dosya ismi belirtmesi dışında `CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE` gibidir.
`CURLOPT_ENCODING`	"Accept-Encoding: " başlığının içeriği. Yanıtın kodlanmasını sağlar. Desteklenen kodlamalar: "identity", "deflate" ve "gzip". Boş bir dizge "" belirtilirse desteklenen tüm kodlamaları içeren bir başlık gönderilir.	cURL 7.10'da eklendi.
`CURLOPT_FTPPORT`	FTP "POST" komutu için kullanılacak IP adresini almakta kullanılacak değer. "POST" komutu, uzak sunucunun bizim belirttiğimiz IP adresine bağlanmasını söyler.

`CURLOPT_INTERFACE`	Kullanılacak giden ağ arayüzünün ismi. Bir ağ arabirimi ismi, bir IP adresi veya bir konak ismi olabilir.
`CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL`	KRB4 (Kerberos 4) güvenlik seviyesi. Geçerli değerler (en güçsüzden en güçlüye doğru): "clear", "safe", "confidential", "private".. Dizge bunlardan biri değilse "private" kullanılır. Bu seçeneğe `NULL` atanması KRB4 güvenliğini iptal eder. Şimdilik KRB4 güvenliği sadece FTP aktarımlarında çalışmaktadır.
`CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS`	Bir HTTP "POST" işleminde gönderilecek verinin tamamı. Bir dosya göndermek için dosya ismini başına @ koyarak tam yoluyla belirtin. 'para1=val1&para2=val2&...' benzeri kodlanmış bir dizge veya alan isimlerinin anahtar, değerlerinin değer olarak yer aldığı bir dizi belirtilebilir. `değer` bir dizi ise Content-Type başlığına multipart/form-data atanır.
`CURLOPT_PROXY`	İstekleri tünelleyecek HTTP vekili.
`CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD`	Vekil bağlantısı için kullanılacak kullanıcı adı ve parola; "[kullanıcı]:[parola]" biçeminde belirtilir.
`CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE`	SSL için rasgele sayı üretecini tohumlamakta kullanılacak dosya ismi.

`CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE`	Sertifika biçemi. Desteklenen biçemler: "PEM" (öntanımlı), "DER" ve "ENG".	cURL 7.9.3'te eklendi.
`CURLOPT_SSLENGINE`	`CURLOPT_SSLKEY` ile belirtilmiş gizli SSL anahtarının şifreleme motoru için betimleyici.
`CURLOPT_SSLENGINE_DEFAULT`	Bakışımsız şifreleme işlemleri için kullanılan şifreleme motoru için betimleyici.
`CURLOPT_SSLKEY`	Gizli SSL anahtarını içeren dosyanın ismi.
`CURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD`	`CURLOPT_SSLKEY` ile belirtilen gizli SSL anahtarını kullanmak için gereken gizli parola. Bilginize: Bu seçenekle belirtilen parolayı yetkisiz kişilerin okumaması için PHP betiğini güvenilir bir yerde tutmaya çalışın.
`CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE`	`CURLOPT_SSLKEY`ile belirtilen gizli SSL anahtarının anahtar türü. Desteklenen anahtar türleri: "PEM" (öntanımlı), "DER", ve "ENG".
`CURLOPT_URL`	İçeriği alınacak URL. Oturumu curl_init() ile ilklendirirken de belirtilebilir.
`CURLOPT_USERAGENT`	HTTP isteğinde kullanılacak "User-Agent: "başlığının içeriği.
`CURLOPT_USERPWD`	Bağlantı için kullanılmak üzere "[kullanıcı]:[parola]" biçeminde kullanıcı adı ve parola.

Örnekler

Örnek 1 - Yeni bir cURL oturumunun ilklendirilmesi ve bir HTML sayfasının alınması


<?php
// Yeni bir cURL özkaynağı oluşturalım
$ct = curl_init();

// URL'yi ve ilgili seçenekleri belirtelim
curl_setopt($ct, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/");
curl_setopt($ct, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

// URL'yi tarayıcıya aktaralım
curl_exec($ct);

// cURL özkaynağını kapatıp sistem özkaynaklarını serbest bırakalım
curl_close($ct);
?>

Örnek 2 - Karşıya dosya yüklemek


<?php

/* http://localhost/upload.php:
print_r($_POST);
print_r($_FILES);
*/

$ch = curl_init();

$data = array('name' => 'Foo', 'file' => '@/home/user/test.png');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://localhost/upload.php');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

curl_exec($ch);
?>

Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:

Array
(
    [name] => Foo
)
Array
(
    [file] => Array
        (
            [name] => test.png
            [type] => image/png
            [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpcpjNeQ
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 279
        )

)

Notlar

Bilginize: CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS seçeneğine bir dizinin aktarılması verinin multipart/form-data olarak kodlanmasına, bir URL kodlu dizge atanması ise verinin application/x-www-form-urlencoded olarak kodlanmasına sebep olur.

Following from the comment made by Stan van de Burgt, if you change the post array to a string, PHP creates the post data successfully.



As a quick and dirty example of implementing this fix:



<?php



$ch = curl_init;

$url = 'http://www.example.com';



curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);



foreach ($postData as $var) if (strpos($var, '@') === 0) {

    $postAsString = true;

}



if ($postAsString === true) {

    $str = '';



    foreach ($postData as $key => $val) {

        $str .= '&' . $key . '=' . $val;

    }



    $postData = substr_replace($str, '', 0, 1);

}



curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);



curl_exec($ch);



?>



Hopefully this error gets fixed at a lower level in the PHP cURL library itself to stop the need for this ugly workaround.

I've found that setting CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER more than once will clear out any headers you've set previously with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER.



Consider the following:

<?php

    # ...



    curl_setopt($cURL,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array (

        "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8",

        "Expect: 100-continue"

    ));



    # ... do some other stuff ...



    curl_setopt($cURL,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,array (

        "Accept: application/json"

    ));



    # ...

?>



Both the Content-Type and Expect I set will not be in the outgoing headers, but Accept will.

If you get a "failed creating formpost data" upon curl_exec() when POSTing a form, check if one of the field values starts with the @ character.



Took me an hour or so to find out as I wanted to post a @reply tweet to twitter which typically start with @screenname.

There is a function to send POST data in page with five parameters :





$post must be an array


$page is the page where POST datas will be send.


$n must be true to continue if they are php redirection (Location: )


$session must be define true if you want to use cookies 


$referer must be a link to get a wrong referer or only to have a referer.





<?php


function curl_data_post($post, $page, $n, $session, $referer)


    {


        if(!is_array($post))


        {


         return false;


        }


        


        $DATA_POST = curl_init();


        curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);


        curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_URL, $page);


        curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_POST, true);


        if($n)


        {


         curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);


        }


        if($session)


        {


         curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookiefile.txt');


         curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookiefile.txt'); 


        }


        


        if($referer)


        {


         curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer); 


        }


        


        curl_setopt($DATA_POST, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);


        $data = curl_exec($DATA_POST);


        if($data == false)


        {


         echo'Warning : ' . curl_error($DATA_POST);


         curl_close($DATA_POST);


         return false;


        }


        else


        {


         curl_close($DATA_POST);


         return $data;


        }


    }


?>

Whats not mentioned in the documentation is that you have to set CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR to a file for the CURL handle to actually use cookies, if it is not set then cookies will not be parsed.

When you are using CURLOPT_FILE to download directly into a file you must close the file handler after the curl_close() otherwise the file will be incomplete and you will not be able to use it until the end of the execution of the php process.





<?php





$fh = fopen('/tmp/foo', 'w');


$ch = curl_init('http://example.com/foo');


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fh);


curl_exec($ch);


curl_close($ch);





# at this point your file is not complete and corrupted





fclose($fh);





# now you can use your file;





read_file('/tmp/foo');





?>

When using CURLOPT_FILE, pass it the file handle that is open for write only (eg fopen('blahblah', 'w+')). If you also open the file for reading (eg fopen('blahblah', 'rw')), curl will fail with error 23.

Seems like some options not mentioned on this page, but listed on http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html is actually supported.



I was happy to see that I could actually use CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS even from PHP.

As of php 5.3 CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION its supported here's how:



<?php



function callback($download_size, $downloaded, $upload_size, $uploaded)

{

    // do your progress stuff here

}



$ch = curl_init('http://www.example.com');



// This is required to curl give us some progress

// if this is not set to false the progress function never

// gets called

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, false);



// Set up the callback

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, 'callback');



// Big buffer less progress info/callbacks

// Small buffer more progress info/callbacks

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE, 128);



$data = curl_exec($ch);



?>



Hope this help.

I noticed that if you want to get current cookie file after curl_exec() - you need to close current curl handle (like it said in manual), but if you want cookies to be dumped to file after any curl_exec (without curl_close) you can:





<?php


#call it normally


$ch = curl_init(); 


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookiefile"); 


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookiefile"); 


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); 


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.example.com/'); 


$result1 = curl_exec($ch); 





#and then  make a temp copy


$ch_temp=curl_copy_handle(ch);


curl_close($ch);


$ch=$ch_temp;


?>





Only this way, if you close $ch_temp - cookies wont be dumped.

if you need to send a SOAP string that is the CURL you must use :





<?php


$ch = curl_init();


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, XML_POST_URL); 


curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('SOAPAction: ""'));    


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, XML_PAYLOAD); 


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);





$output = curl_exec($ch); 


?>





Note : Having based my snipet on Chemo demonstration (oscommerce user know who he is), XML_POST_URL and XML_PAYLOAD where defined as constant with define().





The point is : at the opposite of .xml , SOAP must send the header 'SOAPAction: ""' that can be a valid URI, an empty string (that is here) or nothing ('SOAPAction: '). The later case baing not accepted by all server, the second one indicating the target is the URI used to post the SOAP.

When passing CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS a url-encoded string in order to use Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded, you can pass a string directly:

<?php

curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'field1=value&field2=value2');

?>



rather than passing the string in an array, as in fred at themancan dot com's example.

if unserialize() returns FALSE on a serialized PHP object due to an extraneous string (e.g. "1") appended at the end of the object, you need to set the ff cURL option:





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);


?>

To send a post as a different content-type (ie.. application/json or text/xml) add this setopt call





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADERS,array('Content-Type: application/json'));


?>

Note that CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER when used with CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION has effectively three settings: default, true, and false.



default - callbacks will be called as expected.

true - content will be returned but callback function will not be called.

false - content will be output and callback function will not be called.



Note that CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION callbacks are always called.

Passing in PHP's $_SESSION into your cURL call:





<?php


session_start();


$strCookie = 'PHPSESSID=' . $_COOKIE['PHPSESSID'] . '; path=/';


session_write_close();





$curl_handle = curl_init('enter_external_url_here');


curl_setopt( $curl_handle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $strCookie );


curl_exec($curl_handle);


curl_close($curl_handle);


?>





This worked great for me.  I was calling pages from the same server and needed to keep the $_SESSION variables.  This passes them over.  If you want to test, just print_r($_SESSION);





Enjoy!

This may not be a surprise for many, but I know I bled my eyes out trying to implement this in php. And when I knew it was this simple, I really felt extremely stupid. So I put this just so google will save somebody some time in the future.





PHP NTLM AUTH





Make sure you have the 'curl' extension loaded


now just do...





<?php


curl_setopt($ch,CURLAUTH_NTLM);


curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERPWD,"$username:$password");

and just continue to use curl in the ordinary fashion.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, TRUE);

Some of you may noticed that curl is not transferring cookies between sequent calls to a host. This is because you must activate curl`s "cookie parser". That is achieved using an external file like this:


<?php


curl_setopt(CURLOPT_FILE, '/tmp/cookies_file');


?>


If you don`t need to read any cookies but you still want the "cookie parser" use the same code but with dummy file with no data like '/dev/null', that way curl is storing cookies internaly per curl_handle:


<?php


curl_setopt(CURLOPT_FILE, '/dev/null');


?>





[EDIT BY danbrown AT php DOT net: In a note dated 26-SEP-08, (adamplumb AT gmail DOT com) offered the following addendum:





[It] should really be CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE.  I was bitten by this issue myself with code that previously worked for logging into a website and posting a form.  However, at some point the code just stopped working, and I eventually found that I needed to set this option to /dev/null for it to work.

If you set CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM to resume the file, and then reuse the same Curl handle to download another file, you must reset the resume status by calling curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, 0 ). It will not reset, and will apply to all subsequent transfers even if the URL is the same.

Just a small detail I too easily overlooked.

<?php

/*  If you set:  */

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

/* then you must have the data: */

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $PostData);

?>

I found with only the CURLOPT_POST set (from copy, paste editing of course) cookies were not getting sent with CURLOPT_COOKIE.  Just something subtle to watch out for.

fred at themancan dot com

To find what encoding a given HTTP POST request uses is easy -- passing an array to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS results in  multipart/form-data:





<?php


curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('field1' => 'value'));


?>





Passing a URL-encoded string will result in application/x-www-form-urlencoded:





<?php


curl_setopt(CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('field1=value&field2=value2'));


?>





I ran across this when integrating with both a warehouse system and an email system; neither would accept multipart/form-data, but both happily accepted application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

if you use

<?php

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INTERFACE, "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX");

?>

to specify IP adress for request, sometimes you need to get list of all your IP's.



ifconfig command will output something like:



rl0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

    options=8<VLAN_MTU>

    inet 82.146.XXX.XXX netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 82.146.XXX.XXX

    inet 78.24.XXX.XXX netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 78.24.XXX.XXX

    inet 82.146.XXX.XXX netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 82.146.XXX.XXX

    inet 78.24.XXX.XXX netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 78.24.XXX.XXX

    inet 78.24.XXX.XXX netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 78.24.XXX.XXX

    ether XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

    media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)

    status: active

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384

tun0: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

    Opened by PID 564

tun1: flags=8051<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

    Opened by PID 565

    Opened by PID 565



My solution for FreeBSD 6 and PHP 5 was:

<?php

  ob_start();

  $ips=array();

  $ifconfig=system("ifconfig");

  echo $ifconfig;

  $ifconfig=ob_get_contents();

  ob_end_clean();

  $ifconfig=explode(chr(10), $ifconfig);

  for ($i=0; $i<count($ifconfig); $i++) {

    $t=explode(" ", $ifconfig[$i]);

    if ($t[0]=="\tinet") {

      array_push($ips, $t[1]);

    }     

  }

  for ($i=0; $i<count($ips); $i++) {

    echo $ips[$i]."\n";

  }

?>



You will get list of IP adresses in $ips array, like:

82.146.XXX.XXX

78.24.XXX.XXX

82.146.XXX.XXX

82.146.XXX.XXX

82.146.XXX.XXX

78.24.XXX.XXX

78.24.XXX.XXX

If you want to connect to a server which requires that you identify yourself with a certificate, use following code. Your certificate and servers certificate are signed by an authority whose certificate is in ca.ctr.



<?php

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, '1');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, '1');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, '1');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CAINFO,  getcwd().'/cert/ca.crt');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, getcwd().'/cert/mycert.pem');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD, 'password');

?>



If your original certificate is in .pfx format, you have to convert it to .pem using following commands

# openssl pkcs12 -in mycert.pfx -out mycert.key

# openssl rsa -in mycert.key -out mycert.pem

# openssl x509 -in mycert.key >> mycert.pem

Although CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY and the applicable choices are valid constants, setting this option with curl_setopt() always returns false. A quick google search suggests the option is deprecated and/or never worked.

Someone posted this under tmpfile (http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.tmpfile.php#69419), and I thought it was particularly useful:





[The PHP function tmpfile()] is really useful for libcurl's CURLOPT_PUT feature if what you're trying to PUT is a string.   For example:





<?php


/* Create a cURL handle. */


$ch = curl_init();





/* Prepare the data for HTTP PUT. */


$putString = "Hello, world!";


$putData = tmpfile();


fwrite($putData, $putString);


fseek($putData, 0);





/* Set cURL options. */


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PUT, true);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILE, $putData);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE, strlen($putString));


/* ... (other curl options) ... */





/* Execute the PUT and clean up */


$result = curl_exec($ch);


fclose($putData);


curl_close($ch);


?>

In PHP5, for the "CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS" option, we can use:



<?php

$ch = curl_init($URI);

$Post = http_build_query($PostData);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $Post);

$Output = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

?>

If you are doing a POST, and the content length is 1,025 or greater, then curl exploits a feature of http 1.1: 100 (Continue) Status.



See http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec8.html#sec8.2.3



* it adds a header, "Expect: 100-continue".  

* it then sends the request head, waits for a 100 response code, then sends the content 



Not all web servers support this though.  Various errors are returned depending on the server.  If this happens to you, suppress the "Expect" header with this command:



<?php

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Expect:'));

?>



See http://www.gnegg.ch/2007/02/the-return-of-except-100-continue/

Clarification for the CURLOPT_NOBODY option: by excluding the body from your request, you're effectively making a HEAD request. Use the CURLOPT_NOBODY option to return only the headers in the remote response.





Example:





<?php


function check_url($url) {


    $c = curl_init();


    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_URL, $url);


    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); // get the header


    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 1); // and *only* get the header


    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // get the response as a string from curl_exec(), rather than echoing it


    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1); // don't use a cached version of the url


    if (!curl_exec($c)) { return false; }





    $httpcode = curl_getinfo($c, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);


    return ($httpcode < 400);


}

if you would like to send xml request to a server (lets say, making a soap proxy),


you have to set





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml"));


?>





makesure you watch for cache issue:


the below code will prevent cache...





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, 1);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1);


?>

If you try to upload file to a server, you need do CURLOPT_POST first and then fill CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postvars);


// ^^ This will post multipart/form-data

the solution n 2: the same function, modifed, works great for me..





<?php


function curl_redir_exec($ch,$debug="")


{


    static $curl_loops = 0;


    static $curl_max_loops = 20;

            $curl_loops = 0;


            return $data;


        }


        $last_url = parse_url(curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL));


    /*    if (!$url['scheme'])


            $url['scheme'] = $last_url['scheme'];


        if (!$url['host'])


            $url['host'] = $last_url['host'];


        if (!$url['path'])


            $url['path'] = $last_url['path'];*/


        $new_url = $url['scheme'] . '://' . $url['host'] . $url['path'] . ($url['query']?'?'.$url['query']:'');


        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $new_url);


    //    debug('Redirecting to', $new_url);





        return curl_redir_exec($ch);


    } else {


        $curl_loops=0;


        return $debbbb;


    }


}


?>





just use this function without de FOLLOW_LOCATION and should work. the problem was that when you get to the line where you return the data if http_code was different than 301 oe 302, $data has obsolete information or none. so $debbbb does the job.





hope this helps someone out there

FYI,





Anyone trying to connect to .NET with CURL to send a simple XML post, pay attention to the following. This will save you hours! There is a previous note that I saw either on this page, or somewhere else on this site that explains the correct way to specify the header option is to create an array, then reference the array from the CURLOPT. 





ie.  Do something like this:





<?php


// Req. HTTP Header Values 


 $header[] = "Content-type: text/xml";





// Target URL


 $sendTo = "http://www.example.com";





// Post Data


 $post = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>\n<root>\n....etc, etc,";





// Create CURL Connection


 $ch = curl_init();


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'XtraDoh xAgent');


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $sendTo);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 900);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTIONTIMEOUT, 30);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, false);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);


 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);


?>





Notice the HTTPHEADER, $header above. I have not been able to get .NET to properly read the HTTP header as specified (in this case as text/xml) when using the following:





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type'=>'text/xml'));


?>





Although this may work when working with other PHP, IIS, or even PHP, Apache, it does not (at least in my experience) work with .NET, IIS.

This is very clear in hindsight, but it still cost me several hours:





<?php curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1); ?>





means that you will tunnel THROUGH the proxy, as in "your communications will go as if the proxy is NOT THERE".





Why do you care? - Well, if you are trying to use, say, Paros, to debug HTTP between your cURL and the server, with CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL set to TRUE Paros will not see or log your traffic thus defeating the purpose and driving you nuts.





There are other cases, of course, where this option is extremely useful...

if you are trying to connect to 'https://...' and after that want to work with POST data - that's the way:





<?php


$curl = curl_init();


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookiefile");


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "cookiefile"); # SAME cookiefile


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "url1"); # this is where you first time connect - GET method authorization in my case, if you have POST - need to edit code a bit


$xxx = curl_exec($curl);





curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "url2"); # this is where you are requesting POST-method form results (working with secure connection using cookies after auth)


curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "var1=value&var2=value&var3=value&"); # form params that'll be used to get form results


$xxx = curl_exec($curl);





curl_close ($curl);


echo $xxx;

Two things that I noted, one of which has been mentioned earlier, if you are connecting to an SSL site (https) and don't have the appropriate certificate, don't forget to set CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER as "false"... it's set to "true" by default. Scratched my head over 2 hours to figure this one out as I had a machine with an older version installed and everything worked fine without using this option on that one - but failed on other machines with newer versions.





Second very important thing, I've never had my scripts work (tried on various machines, multiple platforms) with a Relative path to a COOKIEJAR or COOKIEFILE. In my experience I HAVE to specify the absolute path and not the relative path. 





Small script I wrote to connect to a page, gather all cookies into a jar, connect to another page to login, taking the cookiejar with you for authentication:





<?php


$ch = curl_init();


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/Library/WebServer/Documents/tmp/cookieFileName");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.example.com/myaccount/start.asp");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);


ob_start();      // Prevent output


curl_exec ($ch);


ob_end_clean();  // End preventing output


curl_close ($ch);


unset($ch);





$ch = curl_init();


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "field1=".$f1."&field2=".$f2."&SomeFlag=True");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/Library/WebServer/Documents/tmp/cookieFileName");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://www.example.com/myaccount/Login.asp");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);


$result = curl_exec ($ch);


curl_close ($ch);


?>

If you are getting the following error:





SSL: certificate subject name 'example.com' does not match target host name 'example.net'





Then you can set the following option to get around it:





<?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE); ?>

Please note that the CURLOPT_INTERFACE setting only accepts IP addresses and hostnames of the local machine. It is not meant to send a URL to a specific IP address.

In case you wonder how come, that cookies don't work under Windows, I've googled for some answers, and here is the result: Under WIN you need to input absolute path of the cookie file.





This piece of code solves it:





<?php





if ($cookies != '')


    {


    if (substr(PHP_OS, 0, 3) == 'WIN')


        {$cookies = str_replace('\\','/', getcwd().'/'.$cookies);}


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $cookies);


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $cookies);


    }

curl will sometimes return an "Empty reply from server" error if you don't send a User-Agent string.  Use the CURLOPT_USERAGENT option.

Options not included in the above, but that work (Taken from the libcurl.a C documentation)



CURLOPT_FTP_SSL 



Pass a long using one of the values from below, to make libcurl use your desired level of SSL for the ftp transfer. (Added in 7.11.0) 



CURLFTPSSL_NONE 



Don't attempt to use SSL. 



CURLFTPSSL_TRY 



Try using SSL, proceed as normal otherwise. 



CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL 



Require SSL for the control connection or fail with CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED. 



CURLFTPSSL_ALL 



Require SSL for all communication or fail with CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED.

Seems that CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER Option set to TRUE, returns a "1" when the transaction returns a blank page.



I think is for eliminate the FALSE to can be with a blank page as return

How to get rid of response after POST: just add callback function for returned data (CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION) and make this function empty.





<?php


function curlHeaderCallback($ch, $strHeader) {


}


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, 'curlHeaderCallback');


?>

I was having problems with Authorize.net and the SSL cert matching even after adding:





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);


?>





What I found after a lot of stumbling was I needed to set VERIFYHOST to FALSE.  So if you are still have a problem with Authorize.NET SSL and cURL add this:





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);


?>

I was working on using php to interface with an authorize.net gateway, and I ran into a problem with certificates using curl to talk the https:// url.





curl_error() told me "SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK."





I googled it and found the same "solution" over and over again: bypass verification by adding this line after curl_init():





<?php


curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);


?>





This worked great, but I was required to verify, so here's what I did. Add the following lines:





<?php


curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);


curl_setopt($connection, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "path:/ca-bundle.crt");


?>





with "path:/ca-bundle.crt" being the path to that certificate file. You can get this file by downloading the curl package (http://curl.haxx.se/download.html) and looking for it in the lib folder.





Feel free to email me.

If you are trying to use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION and you get this warning:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set...



then you will want to read http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php which says "Disabled CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION in curl when open_basedir or safe_mode are enabled." as of PHP 4.4.4/5.1.5.  This is due to the fact that curl is not part of PHP and doesn't know the values of open_basedir or safe_mode, so you could comprimise your webserver operating in safe_mode by redirecting (using header('Location: ...')) to "file://" urls, which curl would have gladly retrieved.



Until the curl extension is changed in PHP or curl (if it ever will) to deal with "Location:" headers, here is a far from perfect remake of the curl_exec function that I am using.



Since there's no curl_getopt function equivalent, you'll have to tweak the function to make it work for your specific use.  As it is here, it returns the body of the response and not the header.  It also doesn't deal with redirection urls with username and passwords in them.



<?php

    function curl_redir_exec($ch)

    {

        static $curl_loops = 0;

        static $curl_max_loops = 20;

        if ($curl_loops++ >= $curl_max_loops)

        {

            $curl_loops = 0;

            return FALSE;

        }

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

        $data = curl_exec($ch);

        list($header, $data) = explode("\n\n", $data, 2);

        $http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

        if ($http_code == 301 || $http_code == 302)

        {

            $matches = array();

            preg_match('/Location:(.*?)\n/', $header, $matches);

            $url = @parse_url(trim(array_pop($matches)));

            if (!$url)

            {

                //couldn't process the url to redirect to

                $curl_loops = 0;

                return $data;

            }

            $last_url = parse_url(curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL));

            if (!$url['scheme'])

                $url['scheme'] = $last_url['scheme'];

            if (!$url['host'])

                $url['host'] = $last_url['host'];

            if (!$url['path'])

                $url['path'] = $last_url['path'];

            $new_url = $url['scheme'] . '://' . $url['host'] . $url['path'] . ($url['query']?'?'.$url['query']:'');

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $new_url);

            debug('Redirecting to', $new_url);

            return curl_redir_exec($ch);

        } else {

As Yevgen mentioned earlier sometimes we can't use CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR and CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE. Below is a header callback function I wrote back in January that lets you maintain cookies between cURL requests. Cookies are added to $ch during all requests even during redirection, so you can use it together with CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION.


Here is the code:





<?php


function read_header($ch, $string)


{


    global $location; #keep track of location/redirects


    global $cookiearr; #store cookies here


    global $ch; 


       # ^overrides the function param $ch


       # this is okay because we need to 


       # update the global $ch with 


       # new cookies


    


    $length = strlen($string);


    if(!strncmp($string, "Location:", 9))


    { #keep track of last redirect


      $location = trim(substr($string, 9, -1));


    }


    if(!strncmp($string, "Set-Cookie:", 11))


    { #get the cookie


      $cookiestr = trim(substr($string, 11, -1));


      $cookie = explode(';', $cookiestr);


      $cookie = explode('=', $cookie[0]);


      $cookiename = trim(array_shift($cookie)); 


      $cookiearr[$cookiename] = trim(implode('=', $cookie));


    }


    $cookie = "";


    if(trim($string) == "") 


    {  #execute only at end of header


      foreach ($cookiearr as $key=>$value)


      {


        $cookie .= "$key=$value; ";


      }


      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $cookie);


    }





    return $length;


}


?>





Using the header function with curl (add this before curl_exec): 





<?php


#don't forget globals, especially if you are using this in function


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, 'read_header');


?>





This code assumes that you will reuse $ch without initializing it every time (call curl_init only once, in the beginning). If you need to initialize $ch again at any point in your code you can access the currently stored cookies in $cookiearr and include them in the new $ch.





I wrote this function before I had enough experience with regular expressions so you won't find any preg_match calls here. I have used this code for quite a while and without any problems accessing gmail, yahoo, hotmail, aol etc. where I had to go through login and a few pages before getting to what I was looking for.

Note that if you want to use a proxy and use it as a _cache_, you'll have to do:





<?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("Pragma: ")); ?>





else by default Curl puts a "Pragma: no-cache" header in and thus force cache misses for all requests.

Clarification on the callback methods:



- CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION is for handling header lines received *in the response*,

- CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION is for handling data received *from the response*,

- CURLOPT_READFUNCTION is for handling data passed along *in the request*.



The callback "string" can be any callable function, that includes the array(&$obj, 'someMethodName') format.

Sometimes you can't use CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR and CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE becoz of the server php-settings(They say u may grab any files from server using these options). Here is the solution

1)Don't use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION

2)Use curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1)

3)Grab from the header cookies like this:

preg_match_all('|Set-Cookie: (.*);|U', $content, $results);    

$cookies = implode(';', $results[1]);

4)Set them using curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE,  $cookies);



Good Luck, Yevgen

The examples below for HTTP file upload work great, but I wanted to be able to post multiple files through HTTP upload using HTML arrays as specified in example 38.3 at





http://us3.php.net/features.file-upload





In this case, you need to set the arrays AND keys in the $post_data, it will not work with just the array names. The following example shows how this works:





<?php





    $post_data = array();


    


    $post_data['pictures[0]'] = "@cat.jpg";


    $post_data['pictures[1]'] = "@dog.jpg";


    





    $ch = curl_init();


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/my_url.php" ); 


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);


    $postResult = curl_exec($ch);





    if (curl_errno($ch)) {


       print curl_error($ch);


    }


    curl_close($ch);


    print "$postResult";

If you're getting trouble with cookie handling in curl: 





- curl manages tranparently cookies in a single curl session


- the option 


<?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "/tmp/cookieFileName"); ?>





makes curl to store the cookies in a file at the and of the curl session





- the option 


<?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "/tmp/cookieFileName"); ?>





makes curl to use the given file as source for the cookies to send to the server. 





so to handle correctly cookies between different curl session, the you have to do something like this:





<?php


       $ch = curl_init(); 


       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 


       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, COOKIE_FILE_PATH);


       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, COOKIE_FILE_PATH);





       curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 


       $result = curl_exec ($ch);


       curl_close($ch);


       return $result;


?>





in particular this is NECESSARY if you are using PEAR_SOAP libraries to build a webservice client over https and the remote server need to establish a session cookie. in fact each soap message is sent using a different curl session!!





I hope this can help someone

To further expand upon use of CURLOPT_CAPATH and CURLOPT_CAINFO...



In my case I wanted to prevent curl from talking to any HTTPS server except my own using a self signed certificate. To do this, you'll need openssl installed and access to the HTTPS Server Certificate (server.crt by default on apache)



You can then use a command simiar to this to translate your apache certificate into one that curl likes.



$ openssl x509 -in server.crt -out outcert.pem -text



Then set CURLOPT_CAINFO equal to the the full path to outcert.pem and turn on CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER.



If you want to use the CURLOPT_CAPATH option, you should create a directory for all the valid certificates you have created, then use the c_rehash script that is included with openssl to "prepare" the directory.



If you dont use the c_rehash utility, curl will ignore any file in the directory you set.

There is really a problem of transmitting $_POST data with curl in php 4+ at least.

I improved the encoding function by Alejandro Moreno to work properly with mulltidimensional arrays.



<?php

function data_encode($data, $keyprefix = "", $keypostfix = "") {

  assert( is_array($data) );

  $vars=null;

  foreach($data as $key=>$value) {

    if(is_array($value)) $vars .= data_encode($value, $keyprefix.$key.$keypostfix.urlencode("["), urlencode("]"));

    else $vars .= $keyprefix.$key.$keypostfix."=".urlencode($value)."&";

  }

  return $vars;

}



curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, substr(data_encode($_POST), 0, -1) );

Resetting CURLOPT_FILE to STDOUT won't work by calling curl_setopt() with the STDOUT constant or a php://output stream handle (at least I get error messages when trying the code from phpnet at andywaite dot com). Instead, one can simply reset it as a side effect of CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER. Just say





<?php curl_setopt($this->curl,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,0); ?>





and following calls to curl_exec() will output to STDOUT again.

when specifing the file for either CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE or CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR you may need to use the full file path instead of just the relative path.

After setting CURLOPT_FILE, you may want want to revert back to the normal behaviour of displaying the results. This can be achieved using:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

Problems can occur if you mix CURLOPT_URL with a 'Host:' header in CURLOPT_HEADERS on redirects because cURL will combine the host you explicitly stated in the 'Host:' header with the host from the Location: header of the redirect response. 





In short, don't do this:





<?php


$host = "www.example.com";


$url = "http://$host/";





$headers = array("Host: $host");





$ch = curl_init();





curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);





Do this instead:





$host = "www.example.com";


$url = "http://$host/";





$ch = curl_init();





curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

Using cURL, I needed to call a third-party script which was returning binary data as attachment to pass on retrieved data again as attachment.





Problem was that the third-party script occassionally returned HTTP errors and I wanted to avoid passing on zero-length attachment in such case.





Combination of using CURLOPT_FAILONERROR and CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION callback helped to process the third-party script HTTP errors neatly:





<?php


function curlHeaderCallback($resURL, $strHeader) {


    if (preg_match('/^HTTP/i', $strHeader)) {


        header($strHeader);


        header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="file-name.zip"');


    }


    return strlen($strHeader);


}





$strURL = 'http://www.example.com/script-whichs-dumps-binary-attachment.php';





$resURL = curl_init();


curl_setopt($resURL, CURLOPT_URL, $strURL);


curl_setopt($resURL, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);


curl_setopt($resURL, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, 'curlHeaderCallback');


curl_setopt($resURL, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);





curl_exec ($resURL);





$intReturnCode = curl_getinfo($resURL, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);


curl_close ($resURL);





if ($intReturnCode != 200) {


    print 'was error: ' . $intReturnCode;

Another way to automate a login process and store multiple cookies for additional transfers.





(The easiest way is probably just to use CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR and CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and save them to a file. But if you need to change those cookie values or add/delete them then you can use the code below to set them.)





Continuing with Paul Ebermann's parsing function.





<?php


 function parse_response($this_response)

The parse_response code below does not return multiple cookies as the value of 'Set-Cookie' if multiple cookies are set by the server.  It appears to only return the last cookie set.

Hi!



I have found some information I am sure it could help lot of programmers when they want to connect with curl to any https website and they haven't a good or right CA Cert :)



I give you just one example It has resolved me 2 hours of my time looking for a solution.



It is simple, just if you get any error in the curl_exec (use curl_error(...) to see the error to trace it) add the next line and everything is solved:



(note: replace $ch with the right curl variable)



curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);



<?php



$ch = curl_init();

$res= curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://yoururl/cgi");



curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "Idc=si&");

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$xyz = curl_exec ($ch);



curl_close ($ch);

echo $xyz;

if ($xyz == NULL) { 

           echo "Error:<br>";

           echo curl_errno($ch) . " - " . curl_error($ch) . "<br>";

}

?>



I hope this helps.

If you specify a CAINFO, note that the file must be in PEM format! (If not, it won't work).

Using Openssl you can use: 

openssl x509 -in <cert> -inform d -outform PEM -out cert.pem 

To create a pem formatted certificate from a binary certificate (the one you get if you download the ca somewhere).

I found it very annoying that cURL did not offer any easy way to extract the response headers. If you do 





  <?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); ?>





then you only get the headers output inline with the rest of your response. Here's a nice little function to parse the cURL response when you use CURLOPT_HEADER.  I took it from an example on another site and turned it into a function. It assumes you're using CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to return the response to some variable that is then passed to the function. You just pass it a curl_exec result and it returns the result parsed into an array with headers broken up into their correct parts.





<?php


function parse_response($response){


    /*


    ***original code extracted from examples at 


    ***http://www.webreference.com/programming/php/cookbook/chap11/1/3.html





    ***returns an array in the following format which varies depending on headers returned





        [0] => the HTTP error or response code such as 404


        [1] => Array


        (


            [Server] => Microsoft-IIS/5.0


            [Date] => Wed, 28 Apr 2004 23:29:20 GMT


            [X-Powered-By] => ASP.NET


            [Connection] => close


            [Set-Cookie] => COOKIESTUFF


            [Expires] => Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT


            [Content-Type] => text/html


            [Content-Length] => 4040


        )


        [2] => Response body (string)


*/





    list($response_headers,$response_body) = explode("\r\n\r\n",$response,2);


    $response_header_lines = explode("\r\n",$response_headers);





    // first line of headers is the HTTP response code


    $http_response_line = array_shift($response_header_lines);


    if (preg_match('@^HTTP/[0-9]\.[0-9] ([0-9]{3})@',$http_response_line,


                   $matches)) {


        $response_code = $matches[1];


    }





    // put the rest of the headers in an array 


    $response_header_array = array();


    foreach ($response_header_lines as $header_line) {


        list($header,$value) = explode(': ',$header_line,2);


        $response_header_array[$header] = $value;


    }





    return array($response_code,$response_header_array,$response_body);


}

A bit more documentation (without minimum version numbers):



- CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION

- CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION

  Pass a function which will be called to write data or headers respectively. The callback function prototype:



long write_callback (resource ch, string data)



The ch argument is CURL session handle. The data argument is data received. Note that its size is variable. When writing data, as much data as possible will be returned in all invokes. When writing headers, exactly one complete header line is returned for better parsing.

The function must return number of bytes actually taken care of. If that amount differs from the amount passed to this function, an error will occur.



- CURLOPT_READFUNCTION

  Pass a function which will be called to read data. The callback function prototype:



string read_callback (resource ch, resource fd, long length)



The ch argument is CURL session handle. The fd argument is file descriptor passed to CURL by CURLOPT_INFILE option. The length argument is maximum length which can be returned.

The function must return string containing the data which were read. If length of the data is more than maximum length, it will be truncated to maximum length. Returning anything else than a string means an EOF.



[Note: there is more callbacks implemented in current cURL library but they aren't unfortunately implemented in php curl interface yet.]

The page http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_easy_setopt.html at the cURL site has a list of all the CURLOPTS, including many not mentioned here. Also see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/examples/ for cURL examples in PHP.

I managed to use curl to retrieve information from severs on ports other than 80 or 443 (for https) on some installations but not on all. 


If you get an "CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT /* 7 */" error, try adding the port : (for example)





<?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PORT, $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT']); ?>

Just a reminder: When setting your CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS remember to replace the spaces in your values with %20

If you want to Curl to follow redirects and you would also like Curl to echo back any cookies that are set in the process, use this:





<?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, '-'); ?>





'-' means stdout

About the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER option, it took me some time to figure out how to format the so-called 'Array'. It fact, it is a list of strings. If Curl was already defining a header item, yours will replace it. Here is an example to change the Content Type in a POST:





<?php curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Content-Type: text/xml")); ?>

beware that not all cURLlib constants are supported under php :


e.g. CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION or CURLOPT_WRITEDATA are not supported.





CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, although undocumented is supported. It takes the name of a user_defined function.


the function should take two arguments (the curl handle, and the inputdata) and return the length of the written data


e.g.





<?php


function myPoorProgressFunc($ch,$str){


global $fd;


$len = fwrite($fd,$str);


print("#");


return $len;


}





curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION,"myPoorProgressFunc");


?>





Also be aware that CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION  does NOT take the CURLOPT_FILE as a parameter! 


in curl lib it would take CURLOPT_WRITEDATA but this is not supported by php; that's why I use "global $fd;" in my exemple function.





CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION works the same, and is guaranteed to receive complete header lines as input! 





Hope this helps

If you set return transfer to 1 and are sending a post form and find that this crashes php try setting follow location to 1 also. I'm not exactly sure why this crashed, but after i used follow it stopped.





<?php


  curl_setopt ($sess, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, '1');


  curl_setopt ($sess, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, '1');

To make a POST in multipart/form-data mode 


this worked for me, the " \n" at the end of the variables was very important on my OS X server.





<?php





$file = "file_to_upload.txt";


$submit_url = "http://www.example.com/upload_page.php";





$formvars = array("cc"=>"us \n");


$formvars[variable_1] = "bla bla \n";


$formvars[variable_2] = "bla bla \n";


$formvars[variable_3] = "bla bla \n";


$formvars[variable_4] = "bla bla \n";


$formvars[upfile] = "@$file"; // "@" causes cURL to send as file and not string (I believe) 





    // init curl handle


    $ch = curl_init($submit_url);


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, "my_cookies.txt");  //initiates cookie file if needed


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "my_cookies.txt");  // Uses cookies from previous session if exist


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.example.net");  //if server needs to think this post came from elsewhere


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1); // follow redirects recursively


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);


    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $formvars);





    // perform post


    echo $pnp_result_page = curl_exec($ch);


    curl_close ($ch);

CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER is NOT like the -H command line switch. The command line switch adds or replaces headers (much like the header() line in PHP, but for HTTP clients instead of servers), but the curl extension will eliminate the headers cURL sends by default.



For instance, your Authorization, Host, Referer, Pragma, and Accept headers which are normally written by default or by other CURLOPT_*'s.



Also, it might seem intuitive that this should accept an array hash of header->values, but this is not the case. It accepts an array of strings of the format "Header: Value", much like the -H command-line switch.



Hope this helps,

It's possible to take advantage of multiple URLs on the same host in one curl_exec transaction ... just use multiple instances of CURLOPT_URL.





Example:





<?php


$ch = curl_init();


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/a.html");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/b.html");


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/c.html");


curl_exec($ch);


curl_close($ch);


?>





... the URLs appear to be hit in the same order they are entered. This takes advantage of cURL's Persistant Connection capability if all the URLs are on the same host!

To collect cookies recieved with a request, set CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR "cookieFileName".  Then use CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE "cookieFileName" to recall them in subsequent transactions.

To make a POST in multipart/form-data mode





(to upload a file for example) you can use 





<?php curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post); ?>





where $post is an array :





<?php


$post['key1'] = 'data1';


//  like a text field in a POST


$post['file1'] = '@filename1' 


// upload filename1


?>





For more informations see the 





curl_formparse man page.

CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER has the interesting behaviour of tacking a null char onto the end of the string.  This null char is actually on the end of the php string, and can cause some odd results if you're not expecting it to be there.

If you want to connect to a secure server for posting info/reading info, you need to make cURL with the openSSL options. Then the sequence is nearly identical to the previous example (except http_S_://, and possibly add the useragent):





<?php


curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://example.com");


//some sites only accept your request if your browser looks legit, so send a useragent profile... 


curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)");


?>

If you'd like to include extra headers in your POST request, you can accomplish this by setting the following option:





CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER





This is similar to the CURL -H command line switch.





Thanks to Daniel Stenberg for pointing out this usefull feature!





Note: this option was first supported in PHP version 4.03 .

Just because the docs are rather sparse on this, to set multiple values in a cookie, you separate them with a semicolon, as usual. An example, yo set j to j and k to k:





<?php curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_COOKIE,"j=j;k=k"); ?>

I used to download www pages to my script and one of the pages was different in MS explorer and different, when I downloaded it. Namely, information, I was really interested in was missing. That was because the server on the other bank of the river was looking at who is downloading the page. Everything got fixed when I pretended I was MSIE. It is done with curl. Here is a function, that you may use in similar situation





<?php


function download_pretending($url,$user_agent) {


   $ch = curl_init();


   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);


   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);


   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);


   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);


   $result = curl_exec ($ch); 


   curl_close ($ch);


   return $result;


}


?>
