Using cURL

[rjonesX]

I need to just pick up the html of a url using cURL...

Essentially, I need to get the html of, for example

http://www.rjonesx.com

into a variable named

$content

any ideas?

This:

<?php

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mit.edu/");[/URL]
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$foo = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);
?>

Will fetch the home page from MIT's website and store the HTML in the variable $foo. If you change

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

to read

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

cURL will fetch HTTP headers, too.

See curl_exec() and curl_setopt() for more information.
