not change it to GET.
|
|
CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS |
|
|
CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL |
TRUE to ignore any cURL function that causes a
signal to be sent to the PHP process. This is turned on by default

CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT |
The number of seconds to wait while trying to connect. Use 0 to wait indefinitely. | |
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS |
The number of milliseconds to wait while trying to connect. Use 0 to wait indefinitely. If libcurl is built to use the standard system name resolver, that portion of the connect will still use full-second resolution for timeouts with a minimum timeout allowed of one second. | Added in cURL 7.16.2.

CURLOPT_HEADEROPT |
How to deal with headers. One of the following constants:
CURLHEADER_UNIFIED : the headers specified in
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER will be used in requests
both to servers and proxies. With this option enabled,
CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER will not have any effect.
CURLHEADER_SEPARATE : makes
CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER headers only get sent to
a server and not to a proxy. Proxy headers must be set with
CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER to get used. Note that if
a non-CONNECT request is sent to a proxy, libcurl will send both
server headers and proxy headers. When doing CONNECT, libcurl will
send CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER headers only to the
proxy and then CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER headers
only to the server.
Defaults to CURLHEADER_SEPARATE as of cURL
7.42.1, and CURLHEADER_UNIFIED before.
|
Added in cURL 7.37.0. Available since PHP 7.0.7. |
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION |
CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE (default, lets CURL
decide which version to use),
CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0 (forces HTTP/1.0),
or CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1 (forces HTTP/1.1).
|
|
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH |
The HTTP authentication method(s) to use. The options are:
The bitwise | (or) operator can be used to combine more than one method. If this is done, cURL will poll the server to see what methods it supports and pick the best one.
|
|
CURLOPT_INFILESIZE |
The expected size, in bytes, of the file when uploading a file to
a remote site. Note that using this option will not stop libcurl
from sending more data, as exactly what is sent depends on
CURLOPT_READFUNCTION .
|
|
CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT |
The transfer speed, in bytes per second, that the transfer should be
below during the count of CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME
seconds before PHP considers the transfer too slow and aborts.
|
|
CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME |
The number of seconds the transfer speed should be below
CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT before PHP considers
the transfer too slow and aborts.
|
|
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS |
The maximum amount of persistent connections that are allowed.
When the limit is reached,
CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY is used to determine
which connection to close.
|
|

The maximum amount of HTTP redirections to follow. Use this option
alongside CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION .
|
|
CURLOPT_PORT |
An alternative port number to connect to. | |
CURLOPT_POSTREDIR |
A bitmask of 1 (301 Moved Permanently), 2 (302 Found)
and 4 (303 See Other) if the HTTP POST method should be maintained
when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is set and a
specific type of redirect occurs.

CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A or
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME .
|
Added in cURL 7.10. |
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS |
Bitmask of CURLPROTO_* values. If used, this bitmask
limits what protocols libcurl may use in a transfer that it follows to in
a redirect when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled.
This allows you to limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset
of protocols in redirections. By default libcurl will allow all protocols
except for FILE and SCP. This is a difference compared to pre-7.19.4 versions
which unconditionally would follow to all protocols supported.
See also CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS for protocol constant values.
|
Added in cURL 7.19.4. |
CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM |
The offset, in bytes, to resume a transfer from. | |

CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION |
How CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE is treated.
Use CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE to return the
page only if it has been modified since the time specified in
CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE . If it hasn't been modified,
a "304 Not Modified" header will be returned
assuming CURLOPT_HEADER is TRUE .
Use CURL_TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE for the reverse
effect. CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE is the
default.
|
|
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT |
The maximum number of seconds to allow cURL functions to execute. | |
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS |
The maximum number of milliseconds to allow cURL functions to execute. If libcurl is built to use the standard system name resolver, that portion of the connect will still use full-second resolution for timeouts with a minimum timeout allowed of one second. | Added in cURL 7.16.2. Available since PHP 5.2.3. |
CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE |
The time in seconds since January 1st, 1970. The time will be used

Example #1 Initializing a new cURL session and fetching a web page
<?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($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>
Example #2 Uploading file (deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0)
<?php
/* http://localhost/upload.php:
print_r($_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_SAFE_UPLOAD, false); // required as of PHP 5.6.0
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_exec($ch);
?>
The above example will output:
Array ( [name] => Foo ) Array ( [file] => Array ( [name] => test.png [type] => image/png [tmp_name] => /tmp/phpcpjNeQ [error] => 0 [size] => 279 ) )
Note:
Passing an array to
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
will encode the data as multipart/form-data, while passing a URL-encoded string will encode the data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
