`CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER`	`true` 时将根据 `Location:` 重定向时，自动设置 header 中的`Referer:`信息。
`CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION`	设为 `true` 时将开启新的一次 cookie 会话。它将强制 libcurl 忽略之前会话时存的其他 cookie。 libcurl 在默认状况下无论是否为会话，都会储存、加载所有 cookie。会话 cookie 是指没有过期时间，只存活在会话之中。
`CURLOPT_CERTINFO`	`true` 将在安全传输时输出 SSL 证书信息到 `STDERR`。	在 cURL 7.19.1 中添加。需要开启 `CURLOPT_VERBOSE` 才有效。
`CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY`	`true` 将让库执行所有需要的代理、验证、连接过程，但不传输数据。此选项用于 HTTP、SMTP 和 POP3。	在 7.15.2 中添加。
`CURLOPT_CRLF`	启用时将Unix的换行符转换成回车换行符。
`CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE`	`true` 会启用一个全局的DNS缓存。此选项非线程安全的，默认已开启。

`CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION`	`true` 时将会根据服务器返回 HTTP 头中的 `"Location: "` 重定向。参阅 `CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS`。
`CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE`	`true` 在完成交互以后强制明确的断开连接，不能在连接池中重用。
`CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT`	`true` 强制获取一个新的连接，而不是缓存中的连接。
`CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT`	`true` 时，当 FTP 下载时，使用 EPRT (和 LPRT)命令。设置为 `false` 时禁用 EPRT 和 LPRT，仅仅使用PORT 命令。
`CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV`	`true` 时，在FTP传输过程中，回到 PASV 模式前，先尝试 EPSV 命令。设置为 `false` 时禁用 EPSV。
`CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS`	`true` 时，当 ftp 操作不存在的目录时将创建它。
`CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND`	`true` 为追加写入文件，而不是覆盖。
`CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY`	`true` 时禁用 TCP 的 Nagle 算法，就是减少网络上的小数据包数量。	编译的版本在 libcurl 7.11.2 及以上时有效。

`CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT`	`true` 时追踪句柄的请求字符串。	`CURLINFO_` 的前缀是指向的（intentional）。
`CURLOPT_HTTP09_ALLOWED`	是否允许 HTTP/0.9 响应。从 libcurl 7.66.0 开始默认为 `false`；以前默认为 `true`。	如果编译的 libcurl 版本 >= 7.64.0，则分别从 PHP 7.3.15 和 7.4.3 开始可用
`CURLOPT_HTTPGET`	`true` 时会设置 HTTP 的 method 为 GET，由于默认是 GET，所以只有 method 被修改时才需要这个选项。
`CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL`	`true` 会通过指定的 HTTP 代理来传输。
`CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING`	`false` 时获取原始 HTTP 响应主体。	如果编译的 libcurl >= 7.16.2 时可用。
`CURLOPT_KEEP_SENDING_ON_ERROR`	`true` 时，如果返回的 HTTP 代码等于或大于 300，则继续发送请求主体。默认操作是停止发送并关闭流或连接。适用于手动 NTLM 身份验证。大多数应用程序不需要此选项。	如果编译的 libcurl >= 7.51.0，则从 PHP 7.3.0 开始可用。
`CURLOPT_MUTE`	`true` 时将完全静默，无论是何 cURL 函数。	在 cURL 7.15.5 中移出（可以使用 CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER 作为代替）
`CURLOPT_NETRC`	`true` 时，在连接建立时，访问`~/.netrc`文件获取用户名和密码来连接远程站点。
`CURLOPT_NOBODY`	`true` 时将不输出 BODY 部分。同时 Mehtod 变成了 HEAD。修改为 `false` 时不会变成 GET。
`CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS`	`true` 时关闭 cURL 的传输进度。注意: PHP 默认自动设置此选项为 `true`，只有为了调试才需要改变设置。
`CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL`	`true` 时忽略所有的 cURL 传递给 PHP 进程的信号。在 SAPI 多线程传输时此项被默认启用，所以超时选项仍能使用。	cURL 7.10时被加入。
`CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS`	`true` 不处理 dot dot sequences （即 ../ ）	cURL 7.42.0 时被加入。 PHP 7.0.7 起有效。

`CURLOPT_POST`	`true` 时会发送 POST 请求，类型为：`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`，是 HTML 表单提交时最常见的一种。
`CURLOPT_PUT`	`true` 时允许 HTTP 发送文件。要被 PUT 的文件必须在 `CURLOPT_INFILE`和`CURLOPT_INFILESIZE` 中设置。
`CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER`	`true` 将curl_exec()获取的信息以字符串返回，而不是直接输出。
`CURLOPT_SASL_IR`	`true` 开启，收到首包(first packet)后发送初始的响应(initial response)。	cURL 7.31.10 中添加，自 PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_ALPN`	`false` 禁用 SSL 握手中的 ALPN (如果 SSL 后端的 libcurl 内建支持) 用于协商到 http2。	cURL 7.36.0 中增加， PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`	`false` 禁用 SSL 握手中的 NPN(如果 SSL 后端的 libcurl 内建支持)，用于协商到 http2。	cURL 7.36.0 中增加， PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER`	`false` 禁止 cURL 验证对等证书（peer's certificate）。要验证的交换证书可以在 `CURLOPT_CAINFO` 选项中设置，或在 `CURLOPT_CAPATH`中设置证书目录。	自cURL 7.10开始默认为 `true`。从 cURL 7.10开始默认绑定安装。
`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYSTATUS`	`true` 验证证书状态。	cURL 7.41.0 中添加， PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYPEER`	`false` 会阻止 CURL 验证对等证书（peer's certificate）。可以使用 `CURLOPT_CAINFO` 选项指定要验证的备用证书，或者可以使用 `CURLOPT_CAPATH` 选项指定证书目录。设置为 `false` 时，无论如何验证对等证书都会成功。	默认为 `true`。自 PHP 7.3.0 和 libcurl >= cURL 7.52.0 起可用。
`CURLOPT_SAFE_UPLOAD`	始终为 `true`，在 `CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS` 中禁用了对上传文件的 `@` 前缀的支持，这意味着以 `@` 开头的值可以作为字段安全地传递。上传可使用 CURLFile 替代。
`CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN`	`true` 开启 TCP Fast Open。	cURL 7.49.0 中添加， PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS`	`true` 不发送 TFTP 的 options 请求。	自 cURL 7.48.0 添加， PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT`	`true` 对 FTP 传输使用 ASCII 模式。对于LDAP，它检索纯文本信息而非 HTML。在 Windows 系统上，系统不会把 `STDOUT` 设置成二进制模式。
`CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH`	`true` 在使用`CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION`重定向 header 中的多个 location 时继续发送用户名和密码信息，哪怕主机名已改变。
`CURLOPT_UPLOAD`	`true` 准备上传。
`CURLOPT_VERBOSE`	`true` 会输出所有的信息，写入到`STDERR`，或在`CURLOPT_STDERR`中指定的文件。

以下 option 的 value 应该被设置成 int：

选项	设置 `value` 为	备注
`CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE`	每次读入的缓冲的尺寸。当然不保证每次都会完全填满这个尺寸。	在cURL 7.10中被加入。
`CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT`	在尝试连接时等待的秒数。设置为0，则无限等待。
`CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS`	尝试连接等待的时间，以毫秒为单位。设置为0，则无限等待。如果 libcurl 编译时使用系统标准的名称解析器（ standard system name resolver），那部分的连接仍旧使用以秒计的超时解决方案，最小超时时间还是一秒钟。	在 cURL 7.16.2 中被加入。
`CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT`	设置在内存中缓存 DNS 的时间，默认为120秒（两分钟）。
`CURLOPT_EXPECT_100_TIMEOUT_MS`	`Expect: 100-continue` 响应的超时时间，以毫秒为单位。默认为 1000 毫秒。	cURL 7.36.0 中添加，自 PHP 7.0.7 有效。
`CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH`	FTP验证方式（启用的时候）：`CURLFTPAUTH_SSL` (首先尝试SSL)，`CURLFTPAUTH_TLS` (首先尝试TLS)或`CURLFTPAUTH_DEFAULT` (让cURL 自个儿决定)。	在 cURL 7.12.2 中被加入。
`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` (默认值，让 cURL 自己判断使用哪个版本)，`CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0` (强制使用 HTTP/1.0)或`CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1` (强制使用 HTTP/1.1)。
`CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH`	使用的 HTTP 验证方法。选项有： `CURLAUTH_BASIC`、 `CURLAUTH_DIGEST`、 `CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE`、 `CURLAUTH_NTLM`、 `CURLAUTH_AWS_SIGV4`、 `CURLAUTH_ANY` 和 `CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE`。可以使用 `\|` 位域（OR）操作符结合多个值，cURL 会让服务器选择受支持的方法，并选择最好的那个。 `CURLAUTH_ANY` 设置所有的位。cURL 将自动选择它认为最安全的一个。 `CURLAUTH_ANYSAFE` 设置了除 `CURLAUTH_BASIC` 以外所有的位。cURL 将自动选择它认为最安全的一个。
`CURLOPT_INFILESIZE`	希望传给远程站点的文件尺寸，字节(byte)为单位。注意无法用这个选项阻止 libcurl 发送更多的数据，确切发送什么取决于 `CURLOPT_READFUNCTION`。
`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT`	传输速度，每秒字节（bytes）数，根据`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME`秒数统计是否因太慢而取消传输。
`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_TIME`	当传输速度小于`CURLOPT_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT`时(bytes/sec)，PHP会判断是否因太慢而取消传输。
`CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT_ALLLOWFAILS`	允许一些收件人的 RCPT TO 命令失败。	在向多个收件人发送数据时，如果至少有一个收件人导致 RCPT TO 命令返回错误，默认情况下 cURL 将中止 SMTP 对话。此选项告诉 cURL 忽略错误并继续使用剩余的有效收件人。如果所有收件人触发 RCPT TO 失败并且设置了此 flag，cURL 将中止 SMTP 对话并返回从最后一个 RCPT TO 命令收到的错误。
`CURLOPT_MAXAGE_CONN`	重新使用已存在连接时允许的最大空闲时间。默认最大时间设置为 `118` 秒。
`CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE`	The maximum file size in bytes allowed to download. If the file requested is found larger than this value, the transfer will not start and `CURLE_FILESIZE_EXCEEDED` will be returned. The file size is not always known prior to download, and for such files this option has no effect even if the file transfer ends up being larger than this given limit.
`CURLOPT_MAXLIFETIME_CONN`	The maximum time in seconds, since the creation of the connection, that is allowed for an existing connection to have for it to be considered for reuse. If a connection is found in the cache that is older than this value, it will instead be closed once any in-progress transfers are complete. Default is 0 seconds, meaning the option is disabled and all connections are eligible for reuse.
`CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS`	允许的最大持久连接数。当达到限制时，将会关闭缓存中最早的连接，以防止增加已打开的连接数。
`CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS`	指定最多的 HTTP 重定向次数，这个选项是和 `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` 一起使用的。默认值 `20` 是为了防止无限重定向。设置为 `-1` 允许无限重定向，`0` 拒绝所有重定向。
`CURLOPT_PORT`	用来指定连接端口。
`CURLOPT_POSTREDIR`	位掩码， 1 (301 永久重定向), 2 (302 Found) 和 4 (303 See Other) 设置 `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` 时，什么情况下需要再次 HTTP POST 到重定向网址。	cURL 7.19.1 中添加。
`CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS`	*`CURLPROTO_`的位掩码。启用时，会限制 libcurl 在传输过程中可使用哪些协议。这将允许你在编译libcurl时支持众多协议，但是限制只用允许的子集。默认 libcurl 将使用所有支持的协议。参见`CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS`。可用的协议选项为： `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_MQTT`**、 `CURLPROTO_ALL`。	在 cURL 7.19.4 中被加入。
`CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH`	HTTP 代理连接的验证方式。使用在`CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH`中的位掩码。当前仅仅支持 `CURLAUTH_BASIC`和`CURLAUTH_NTLM`。	在 cURL 7.10.7 中被加入。
`CURLOPT_PROXYPORT`	代理服务器的端口。端口也可以在`CURLOPT_PROXY`中设置。
`CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE`	可以是 `CURLPROXY_HTTP` (默认值) `CURLPROXY_SOCKS4`、 `CURLPROXY_SOCKS5`、 `CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A` 或 `CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME`。	在 cURL 7.10 中被加入。
`CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS`	*`CURLPROTO_` 值的位掩码。如果被启用，位掩码会限制 libcurl 在 `CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION`开启时，使用的协议。默认允许除 FILE 和 SCP 外所有协议。这和 7.19.4 前的版本无条件支持所有支持的协议不同。关于协议常量，请参照`CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS`**。	在 cURL 7.19.4 中被加入。
`CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM`	在恢复传输时，传递字节为单位的偏移量（用来断点续传）。
`CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH`	用于 SOCKS5 验证方法。选项是：`CURLAUTH_BASIC`、`CURLAUTH_GSSAPI`、`CURLAUTH_NONE`。位操作符 `\|`（or）用于组合多个方法。如果这样做，cURL 将轮询服务器以查看它支持哪些方法并选择最佳方法。 `CURLAUTH_BASIC` 允许用户名/密码验证。 `CURLAUTH_GSSAPI` 允许 GSS-API 身份验证。 `CURLAUTH_NONE` 允许不验证。默认为 `CURLAUTH_BASIC\|CURLAUTH_GSSAPI`。使用 `CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD` 选项设置真实的用户名和密码。	从 7.3.0 和 curl >= 7.55.0 开始可用。
`CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS`	Set SSL behavior options, which is a bitmask of any of the following constants: `CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST`: do not attempt to use any workarounds for a security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. `CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE`: disable certificate revocation checks for those SSL backends where such behavior is present. `CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT`: automatically locate and use a client certificate for authentication, when requested by the server. This option is only supported for Schannel (the native Windows SSL library). `CURLSSLOPT_NATIVE_CA`: use the operating system's native CA store for certificate verification. Works only on Windows when built to use OpenSSL. This option is experimental and behavior is subject to change. `CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN`: do not accept "partial" certificate chains, which cURL otherwise does by default. This option is only supported for OpenSSL and will fail the certificate verification if the chain ends with an intermediate certificate and not with a root certificate. `CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT`: ignore certificate revocation checks in case of missing or offline distribution points for those SSL backends where such behavior is present. This option is only supported for Schannel (the native Windows SSL library). If combined with `CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE`, the latter takes precedence.	Added in cURL 7.25.0. Available since PHP 7.0.7.
`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST`	`2` 时验证 SSL 对等证书中的公用名称字段或主题备用名称（Subject Alternate Name，简称 SNA）字段是否与提供的主机名匹配。`0` 时不检查名称。不应使用 `1`。在生产环境中，此选项的值应保持为 `2`（默认值）。	在 cURL 7.28.1 中移除了对 `1` 的支持。
`CURLOPT_SSLVERSION`	`CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT` (0)、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1` (1)、`CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv2` (2)、`CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv3` (3)、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_0` (4)、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1` (5) 、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2` (6) 或 `CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_3` (7) 中的其中一个。注意: 最好别设置这个值并让它使用默认值。鉴于 SSLv2 和 SSLv3 中的已知漏洞，将其设置为 2 或 3 非常危险。
`CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_OPTIONS`	设置代理 SSL 行为选项，它是以下任何常量的位掩码： `CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST`：不要尝试对 SSL3 和 TLS1.0 协议中的安全漏洞使用任何替代方法。 `CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE`：对存在此类行为的 SSL 后端禁用证书吊销检查。（curl >= 7.44.0） `CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN`：不接受“部分”（partial）证书链，不然默认接受。（curl >= 7.68.0）	自 PHP 7.3.0 和 libcurl >= cURL 7.52.0 起可用。
`CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST`	设置为 `2` 以根据代理名称验证 HTTPS 代理的证书名称字段。设置为 `0` 时，无论证书中使用的名称如何，连接都会成功。谨慎使用该能力！在 curl 7.28.0 及更早版本中 `1` 视为调试选项。从 curl 7.28.1 到 7.65.3 返回 `CURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT`。从 curl 7.66.0 开始，`1` 和 `2` 被视为相同的值。在生产环境中，此选项的值应保持为 `2`（默认值）。	自 PHP 7.3.0 和 libcurl >= cURL 7.52.0 起可用。
`CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLVERSION`	`CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_0`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_3`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_DEFAULT`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_0`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_1`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_2`、`CURL_SSLVERSION_MAX_TLSv1_3` 或 `CURL_SSLVERSION_SSLv3` 其中之一。注意: 最好的办法是不要设置它，使用默认的 `CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT`，这将尝试找出远程 SSL 协议版本。	自 PHP 7.3.0 和 libcurl >= cURL 7.52.0 起可用。
`CURLOPT_STREAM_WEIGHT`	设置 stream weight 数值 ( 1 和 256 之间的数字).	cURL 7.46.0 中添加，自 PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE`	如果设置为 `1`，将发送 TCP keepalive 探针。这些探针的延迟和频率可以通过 `CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE` 和 `CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL` 选项来控制，前提是操作系统支持它们。如果设置为 `0`（默认值），将禁用 keepalive 探针。	在 cURL 7.25.0 中添加。
`CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE`	设置延迟（以秒为单位），如果启用了 `CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE`，操作系统将在连接空闲时等待，然后再发送 keepalive 探针。并非所有操作系统都支持此选项。默认值为 `60`。	在 cURL 7.25.0 中添加。
`CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL`	设置间隔（以秒为单位），如果启用了 `CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE`，操作系统将在发送 keepalive 探针之间等待。并非所有操作系统都支持此选项。默认值为 `60`。	在 cURL 7.25.0 中添加。
`CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION`	设置如何对待 `CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE`。使用 `CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE`，仅在页面 `CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE` 之后修改，才返回页面。没有修改则返回 `"304 Not Modified"` 头，假设设置了 `CURLOPT_HEADER` 为 `true`。`CURL_TIMECOND_IFUNMODSINCE` 则起相反的效果。使用 `CURL_TIMECOND_NONE` 忽略 `CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE` 并始终返回页面。默认为 `CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE`。	在 cURL 7.46.0 之前，默认值为 `CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE`。
`CURLOPT_TIMEOUT`	允许 cURL 函数执行的最长秒数。
`CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS`	设置cURL允许执行的最长毫秒数。如果 libcurl 编译时使用系统标准的名称解析器（ standard system name resolver），那部分的连接仍旧使用以秒计的超时解决方案，最小超时时间还是一秒钟。	在 cURL 7.16.2 中被加入。
`CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE`	秒数，从 1970年1月1日开始。这个时间将由 `CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION` 使用。
`CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS`	Some protocols have "connection upkeep" mechanisms. These mechanisms usually send some traffic on existing connections in order to keep them alive. This option defines the connection upkeep interval. Currently, the only protocol with a connection upkeep mechanism is HTTP/2. When the connection upkeep interval is exceeded, an HTTP/2 PING frame is sent on the connection. Default is `60` seconds.
`CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE`	Preferred buffer size in bytes for the cURL upload buffer. The upload buffer size by default is 64 kilobytes. The maximum buffer size allowed to be set is 2 megabytes. The minimum buffer size allowed to be set is 16 kilobytes.
`CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE`	如果下载速度超过了此速度(以每秒字节数来统计) ，即传输过程中累计的平均数，传输就会降速到这个参数的值。默认不限速。	cURL 7.15.5 中添加。
`CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE`	如果上传的速度超过了此速度(以每秒字节数来统计)，即传输过程中累计的平均数，传输就会降速到这个参数的值。默认不限速。	cURL 7.15.5 中添加。
`CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES`	A bitmask consisting of one or more of `CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY`, `CURLSSH_AUTH_PASSWORD`, `CURLSSH_AUTH_HOST`, `CURLSSH_AUTH_KEYBOARD`. Set to `CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY` to let libcurl pick one.	cURL 7.16.1 中添加。
`CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE`	允许程序选择想要解析的 IP 地址类别。只有在地址有多种 ip 类别的时候才能用，可以的值有： `CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER`、 `CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4`、 `CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6`，默认是 `CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER`。	cURL 7.10.8 中添加。
`CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD`	告诉 curl 使用哪种方式来获取 FTP(s) 服务器上的文件。可能的值有： `CURLFTPMETHOD_DEFAULT`、 `CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD`、 `CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD` 和 `CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD`。	cURL 7.15.1 中添加。

对于下面的这些option，value应该被设置成 string：

选项	设置的`value`	备注
`CURLOPT_ALTSVC`	Pass the filename for cURL to use as the Alt-Svc cache file to read existing cache contents from and possibly also write it back to a after a transfer, unless `CURLALTSVC_READONLYFILE` is set via `CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL`.
`CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL`	Populate the bitmask with the correct set of features to instruct cURL how to handle Alt-Svc for the transfers using this handle. cURL only accepts Alt-Svc headers over HTTPS. It will also only complete a request to an alternative origin if that origin is properly hosted over HTTPS. Setting any bit will enable the alt-svc engine. The options are: `CURLALTSVC_H1`, `CURLALTSVC_H2`, `CURLALTSVC_H3`, and `CURLALTSVC_READONLYFILE`.
`CURLOPT_AWS_SIGV4`	Provides AWS V4 signature authentication on HTTP(S) header. This option overrides any other authentication types that have been set in `CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH`. This method cannot be combined with other authentication types.
`CURLOPT_CAINFO`	一个保存着1个或多个用来让服务端验证的证书的文件名。这个参数仅仅在和`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER`一起使用时才有意义。 .	可能需要绝对路径。
`CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB`	The name of a PEM file holding one or more certificates to verify the peer with. This option overrides `CURLOPT_CAINFO`.	Available as of PHP 8.2.0 and cURL 7.77.0
`CURLOPT_CAPATH`	一个保存着多个CA证书的目录。这个选项是和`CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER`一起使用的。
`CURLOPT_COOKIE`	设定 HTTP 请求中`"Cookie: "`部分的内容。多个 cookie 用分号分隔，分号后带一个空格(例如， "`fruit=apple; colour=red`")。
`CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE`	包含 cookie 数据的文件名，cookie 文件的格式可以是 Netscape 格式，或者只是纯 HTTP 头部风格，存入文件。如果文件名是空的，不会加载 cookie，但 cookie 的处理仍旧启用。
`CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR`	连接结束后，比如，调用 curl_close 后，保存 cookie 信息的文件。
`CURLOPT_COOKIELIST`	cookie 字符串（即 Netscape/Mozilla 的单行格式，或常规 HTTP 样式的 Set-Cookie 头）将单个 cookie 添加到内部 cookie 存储中。 `"ALL"` 擦除内存中保存的所有 cookie。 `"SESS"` 擦除内存中保存的所有会话 cookie。 `"FLUSH"` 将所有已知的 cookie 写入到 `CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR` 指定的文件。 `"RELOAD"` 从 `CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE` 指定的文件中加载所有 cookie。	自 cURL 7.14.1 起可用。
`CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST`	HTTP 请求时，使用自定义的 Method 来代替`"GET"`或`"HEAD"`。对 `"DELETE"` 或者其他更隐蔽的 HTTP 请求有用。有效值如 `"GET"`，`"POST"`，`"CONNECT"`等等；也就是说，不要在这里输入整行 HTTP 请求。例如输入`"GET /index.html HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"`是不正确的。注意: 不确定服务器支持这个自定义方法则不要使用它。
`CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL`	URL不带协议的时候，使用的默认协议。	cURL 7.45.0 中添加，自 PHP 7.0.7 起有效。
`CURLOPT_DNS_INTERFACE`	Set the name of the network interface that the DNS resolver should bind to. This must be an interface name (not an address).	Added in cURL 7.33.0. Available since PHP 7.0.7.
`CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP4`	Set the local IPv4 address that the resolver should bind to. The argument should contain a single numerical IPv4 address as a string.	Added in cURL 7.33.0. Available since PHP 7.0.7.
`CURLOPT_DNS_LOCAL_IP6`	Set the local IPv6 address that the resolver should bind to. The argument should contain a single numerical IPv6 address as a string.	Added in cURL 7.33.0. Available since PHP 7.0.7.
`CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET`	类似`CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE`，除了一个Entropy Gathering Daemon套接字。
`CURLOPT_ENCODING`	HTTP请求头中`"Accept-Encoding: "`的值。这使得能够解码响应的内容。支持的编码有`"identity"`，`"deflate"`和`"gzip"`。如果为空字符串`""`，会发送所有支持的编码类型。	在 cURL 7.10 中被加入。
`CURLOPT_FTPPORT`	这个值将被用来获取供FTP"PORT"指令所需要的IP地址。 "PORT" 指令告诉远程服务器连接到我们指定的IP地址。这个字符串可以是纯文本的IP地址、主机名、一个网络接口名（UNIX下）或者只是一个'-'来使用默认的 IP 地址。
`CURLOPT_HSTS`	HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) cache file name.
`CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL`	Controls HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) behavior. Populate the bitmask with the correct set of features to instruct cURL how to handle HSTS for the transfers using this handle. `CURLHSTS_ENABLE` enables the in-memory HSTS cache. If the HSTS cache file is defined, set `CURLHSTS_READONLYFILE` to make the file read-only.
`CURLOPT_INTERFACE`	发送的网络接口（interface），可以是一个接口名、IP 地址或者是一个主机名。
`CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD`	使用 `CURLOPT_SSLKEY` 或 `CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE` 私钥时候的密码。	在 cURL 7.16.1 中添加。
`CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL`	KRB4 (Kerberos 4) 安全级别。下面的任何值都是有效的(从低到高的顺序)：`"clear"`、`"safe"`、`"confidential"`、`"private".`。如果字符串以上这些，将使用`"private"`。这个选项设置为 `null` 时将禁用 KRB4 安全认证。目前 KRB4 安全认证只能用于 FTP 传输。
`CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS`	Can be used to set protocol specific login options, such as the preferred authentication mechanism via "AUTH=NTLM" or "AUTH=", and should be used in conjunction with the `CURLOPT_USERNAME`* option.	Added in cURL 7.34.0. Available since PHP 7.0.7.
`CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY`	Set the pinned public key. The string can be the file name of your pinned public key. The file format expected is "PEM" or "DER". The string can also be any number of base64 encoded sha256 hashes preceded by "sha256//" and separated by ";".	Added in cURL 7.39.0. Available since PHP 7.0.7.
`CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS`	在 HTTP “POST”操作中要发送的所有数据。这个参数可以是 urlencoded 后的字符串，类似'`para1=val1&para2=val2&...`'，也可以使用一个以字段名为键值，字段数据为值的数组。如果`value`是一个数组，`Content-Type`头将会被设置成`multipart/form-data`。可以使用 CURLFile 或 CURLStringFile 发送文件，在这种情况下，`value` 必须是数组。
`CURLOPT_PRIVATE`	Any data that should be associated with this cURL handle. This data can subsequently be retrieved with the `CURLINFO_PRIVATE` option of curl_getinfo(). cURL does nothing with this data. When using a cURL multi handle, this private data is typically a unique key to identify a standard cURL handle.	Added in cURL 7.10.3.
`CURLOPT_PRE_PROXY`	Set a string holding the host name or dotted numerical IP address to be used as the preproxy that curl connects to before it connects to the HTTP(S) proxy specified in the `CURLOPT_PROXY` option for the upcoming request. The preproxy can only be a SOCKS proxy and it should be prefixed with `[scheme]://` to specify which kind of socks is used. A numerical IPv6 address must be written within [brackets]. Setting the preproxy to an empty string explicitly disables the use of a preproxy. To specify port number in this string, append `:[port]` to the end of the host name. The proxy's port number may optionally be specified with the separate option `CURLOPT_PROXYPORT`.

The default format is "P12" on Secure Transport and "PEM" on other engines, and can be changed with `CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERTTYPE`. With NSS or Secure Transport, this can also be the nickname of the certificate you wish to authenticate with as it is named in the security database. If you want to use a file from the current directory, please precede it with "./" prefix, in order to avoid confusion with a nickname.	自 PHP 7.3.0 和 libcurl >= cURL 7.52.0 起可用。
`CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERTTYPE`	The format of your client certificate used when connecting to an HTTPS proxy. Supported formats are "PEM" and "DER", except with Secure Transport.

`CURLOPT_PROXY_TLS13_CIPHERS`	The list of cipher suites to use for the TLS 1.3 connection to a proxy. The list must be syntactically correct, it consists of one or more cipher suite strings separated by colons. This option is currently used only when curl is built to use OpenSSL 1.1.1 or later. If you are using a different SSL backend you can try setting TLS 1.3 cipher suites by using the `CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` option.	自 PHP 7.3.0 和 libcurl >= cURL 7.61.0 起可用。使用 OpenSSL >= 1.1.1 编译时可用。
`CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY`	The file name of your private key used for connecting to the HTTPS proxy. The default format is "PEM" and can be changed with `CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEYTYPE`. (iOS and Mac OS X only) This option is ignored if curl was built against Secure Transport.	自 PHP 7.3.0 和 libcurl >= cURL 7.52.0 起可用。如果启用内置 TLS，则可用。

`CURLOPT_REFERER`	在HTTP请求头中`"Referer: "`的内容。
`CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID`	The authorization identity (authzid) for the transfer. Only applicable to the PLAIN SASL authentication mechanism where it is optional. When not specified, only the authentication identity (authcid) as specified by the username will be sent to the server, along with the password. The server will derive the authzid from the authcid when not provided, which it will then use internally.
`CURLOPT_SERVICE_NAME`	验证服务的名称	cURL 7.43.0 起添加，自 PHP 7.0.7 有效。
`CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5`	包含 32 位长的 16 进制数值。这个字符串应该是远程主机公钥（public key）的 MD5 校验值。在不匹配的时候 libcurl 会拒绝连接。此选项仅用于 SCP 和 SFTP 的传输。	cURL 7.17.1 中添加。

Please everyone, stop setting CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER to false or 0. If your PHP installation doesn't have an up-to-date CA root certificate bundle, download the one at the curl website and save it on your server:

http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html

Then set a path to it in your php.ini file, e.g. on Windows:

curl.cainfo=c:\php\cacert.pem

Turning off CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER allows man in the middle (MITM) attacks, which you don't want!

It is important that anyone working with cURL and PHP keep in mind that not all of the CURLOPT and CURLINFO constants are documented. I always recommend reading the cURL documentation directly as it sometimes contains better information. The cURL API in tends to be fubar as well so do not expect things to be where you would normally logically look for them.

curl is especially difficult to work with when it comes to cookies. So I will talk about what I found with PHP 5.6 and curl 7.26.

If you want to manage cookies in memory without using files including reading, writing and clearing custom cookies then continue reading.

To start with, the way to enable in memory only cookies associated with a cURL handle you should use:

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "");

cURL likes to use magic strings in options as special commands. Rather than having an option to enable the cookie engine in memory it uses a magic string to do that. Although vaguely the documentation here mentions this however most people like me wouldn't even read that because a COOKIEFILE is the complete opposite of what we want.

To get the cookies for a curl handle you can use:

    curl_getinfo($curl, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST);

This will give an array containing a string for each cookie. It is tab delimited and unfortunately you will have to parse it yourself if you want to do anything beyond copying the cookies.

To clear the in memory cookies for a cURL handle you can use:

    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "ALL");

This is a magic string. There are others in the cURL documentation. If a magic string isn't used, this field should take a cookie in the same string format as in getinfo for the cookielist constant. This can be used to delete individual cookies although it's not the most elegant API for doing so.

For copying cookies I recommend using curl_share_init.

You can also copy cookies from one handle to another like so:

    foreach(curl_getinfo($curl_a, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST) as $cookie_line)
        curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, $cookie_line);

An inelegant way to delete a cookie would be to skip the one you don't want. 

I only recommend using COOKIELIST with magic strings because the cookie format is not secure or stable. You can inject tabs into at least path and name so it becomes impossible to parse reliably. If you must parse this then to keep it secure I recommend prohibiting more than 6 tabs in the content which probably isn't a big loss to most people.

A the absolute minimum for validation I would suggest:

    /^([^\t]+\t){5}[^\t]+$/D

Here is the format:

    #define SEP  "\t"  /* Tab separates the fields */
 
    char *my_cookie =
      "example.com"    /* Hostname */
      SEP "FALSE"      /* Include subdomains */
      SEP "/"          /* Path */
      SEP "FALSE"      /* Secure */
      SEP "0"          /* Expiry in epoch time format. 0 == Session */
      SEP "foo"        /* Name */
      SEP "bar";       /* Value */

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);

    }

If you want cURL to timeout in less than one second, you can use CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, although there is a bug/"feature"  on "Unix-like systems" that causes libcurl to timeout immediately if the value is < 1000 ms with the error "cURL Error (28): Timeout was reached".  The explanation for this behavior is:

"If libcurl is built to use the standard system name resolver, that portion of the transfer will still use full-second resolution for timeouts with a minimum timeout allowed of one second."

What this means to PHP developers is "You can use this function without testing it first, because you can't tell if libcurl is using the standard system name resolver (but you can be pretty sure it is)"

The problem is that on (Li|U)nix, when libcurl uses the standard name resolver, a SIGALRM is raised during name resolution which libcurl thinks is the timeout alarm.

The solution is to disable signals using CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL.  Here's an example script that requests itself causing a 10-second delay so you can test timeouts:

<?php
if (!isset($_GET['foo'])) {
        // Client
        $ch = curl_init('http://localhost/test/test_timeout.php?foo=bar');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, 200);
        $data = curl_exec($ch);
        $curl_errno = curl_errno($ch);
        $curl_error = curl_error($ch);
        curl_close($ch);

        if ($curl_errno > 0) {
                echo "cURL Error ($curl_errno): $curl_error\n";
        } else {
                echo "Data received: $data\n";
        }
} else {
        // Server
        sleep(10);
        echo "Done.";
}
?>

Some additional notes for curlopt_writefunction. I struggled with this at first because it really isn't documented very well.

When you write a callback function and use it with curlopt_writefunction it will be called MULTIPLE times. Your function MUST return the ammount of data written to it each time. It is very picky about this. Here is a snippet from my code that may help you

<?php
curl_setopt($this->curl_handle, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, array($this, "receiveResponse"));

// later on in the class I wrote my receive Response method

private function receiveResponse($curlHandle,$xmldata)
                {
                        $this->responseString = $xmldata;
                        $this->responseXML .=  $this->responseString;
                        $this->length = strlen($xmldata);
                        $this->size += $this->length;
                        return $this->length;

                }
?>

Now I did this for a class. If you aren't doing OOP then you will obviously need to modify this for your own use.

CURL calls your script MULTIPLE times because the data will not always be sent all at once. Were talking internet here so its broken up into packets. You need to take your data and concatenate it all together until it is all written. I was about to pull my damn hair out because I would get broken chunks of XML back from the server and at random lengths. I finally figured out what was going on. Hope this helps

What is not mentioned in the documentation is that if you want to set  a local-port or local-port-range to establish a connection is possible by adding   CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE options.   

Ex:
$conn=curl_init ('example.com');
curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_LOCALPORT, 35000);
curl_setopt($conn, CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE, 200);

CURLOPT_LOCALPORT: This sets the local port number of the socket used for the connection.

CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE:  The range argument is the number of attempts libcurl will make to find a working local port number. It starts with the given CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and adds one to the number for each retry. Setting this option to 1 or below will make libcurl do only one try for the exact port number.

Interface can be also configured using CURLOPT_INTERFACE:

Ex:

curl_setopt($conn,  CURLOPT_INTERFACE, "eth1");

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.

The description of the use of the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option should be emphasize, that using POST with HTTP/1.1 with cURL implies the use of a "Expect: 100-continue" header. Some web servers will not understand the handling of chunked transfer of post data.

To disable this behavior one must disable the use of the "Expect:" header with

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

PUT requests are very simple, just make sure to specify a content-length header and set post fields as a string.



Example:



<?php

function doPut($url, $fields)

{

   $fields = (is_array($fields)) ? http_build_query($fields) : $fields;



   if($ch = curl_init($url))

   {

      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'PUT');

      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Length: ' . strlen($fields)));

      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);

      curl_exec($ch);



      $status = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);



      curl_close($ch);



      return (int) $status;

   }

   else

   {

      return false;

   }

}



if(doPut('http://example.com/api/a/b/c', array('foo' => 'bar')) == 200)

   // do something

else

   // do something else.

?>



You can grab the request data on the other side with:



<?php

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'PUT')

{

   parse_str(file_get_contents('php://input'), $requestData);



   // Array ( [foo] => bar )

   print_r($requestData);



   // Do something with data...

}

?>



DELETE  can be done in exactly the same way.

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.

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/

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'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

As the "example #2 Uploading file" says it is deprecated as of PHP 5.5.0 but doesn't tell you how it's done right,
here is a really easy example using the CURLFile class:

<?php
$request = [
    'firstName' => 'John',
    'lastName' => 'Doe',
    'file' => new CURLFile('example.txt', 'text/plain') // or use curl_file_create()
];

$curlOptions = [
    CURLOPT_URL => 'http://example.com/upload.php',
    CURLOPT_POST => true,
    CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $request,
];

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlOptions);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
?>

This is just like posting a html form with an input[type=file] field.
The result on windows could look like this:

<?php
// $_POST
Array
(
    [firstName] => John
    [lastName] => Doe
)

// $_FILES
Array
(
    [file] => Array
        (
            [name] => example.txt
            [type] => text/plain
            [tmp_name] => C:\wamp64\tmp\php3016.tmp
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 14
        )

)
?>

Since the request is an array (and not a string), curl will automatically encode the data as "multipart/form-data".
Please be aware that if you pass an invalid file path to CURLFile, setting the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option will fail.
So if you are using curl_setopt_array for setting the options at once, according to the manual, "If an option could not be successfully set, FALSE is immediately returned, ignoring any future options in the options array.".
So you should make sure that the file exists or set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with curl_setopt() and check if it returns false and act accordingly.

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")); ?>

If you wish to find the size of the file you are streaming and use it as your header this is how:



<?php



function write_function($curl_resource, $string)

{

    if(curl_getinfo($curl_resource, CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD) <= 2000)

    {

        header('Expires: 0');

        header('Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0');

        header('Pragma: public');

        header('Content-Description: File Transfer');

        header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

        header("Content-Type: ".curl_getinfo($curl_resource, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE)."");

        header("Content-Length: ".curl_getinfo($curl_resource, CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD)."");

    }

    

    print $string;



    return mb_strlen($string, '8bit');

}



?>



1440 is the the default number of bytes curl will call the write function (BUFFERSIZE does not affect this, i actually think you can not change this value), so it means the headers are going to be set only one time.



write_function must return the exact number of bytes of the string, so you can return a value with mb_strlen.

Many hosters use PHP safe_mode or/and open_basedir, so you can't use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION. If you try, you see message like this:
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in [you script name & path] on line XXX

First, I try to use zsalab function (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php#102121) from this page, but for some reason it did not work properly. So, I wrote my own.

It can be use instead of curl_exec. If server HTTP response codes is 30x, function will forward the request as long as the response is not different from 30x (for example, 200 Ok). Also you can use POST.

function curlExec(/* Array */$curlOptions='', /* Array */$curlHeaders='', /* Array */$postFields='')
{
  $newUrl = '';
  $maxRedirection = 10;
  do
  {
    if ($maxRedirection<1) die('Error: reached the limit of redirections');

    $ch = curl_init();
    if (!empty($curlOptions)) curl_setopt_array($ch, $curlOptions);
    if (!empty($curlHeaders)) curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $curlHeaders);
    if (!empty($postFields))
    {
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
      curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields);
    }
    
    if (!empty($newUrl)) curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $newUrl); // redirect needed
    
    $curlResult = curl_exec($ch);
    $code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

    if ($code == 301 || $code == 302 || $code == 303 || $code == 307)
    {
      preg_match('/Location:(.*?)\n/', $curlResult, $matches);
      $newUrl = trim(array_pop($matches));
      curl_close($ch);

      $maxRedirection--;
      continue;
    }
    else // no more redirection
    {
      $code = 0;
      curl_close($ch);

Please note that if you want to handle progress using CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION option, you need to take into consideration what version of PHP are you using. Since version 5.5.0, compatibility-breaking change was introduced in number/order of the arguments passed to the callback function, and cURL resource is now passed as first argument.

Prior to version 5.5.0:
<?php
// ...
curl_setopt($resource, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, 'progressCallback');
curl_setopt($resource, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, false);
// ...
function progressCallback($download_size = 0, $downloaded = 0, $upload_size = 0, $uploaded = 0)
{
    // Handle progress
}
?>

From version 5.5.0:
<?php
// ...
curl_setopt($resource, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, 'progressCallback');
curl_setopt($resource, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, false);
// ...
function progressCallback($resource, $download_size = 0, $downloaded = 0, $upload_size = 0, $uploaded = 0)
{
    // Handle progress
}
?>

However, if your code needs to be compatible with PHP version both before and after 5.5.0, consider adding a version check:
<?php
// ...
curl_setopt($resource, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, 'progressCallback');
curl_setopt($resource, CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS, false);
// ...
function progressCallback($resource, $download_size = 0, $downloaded = 0, $upload_size = 0, $uploaded = 0)
{
   /**
    * $resource parameter was added in version 5.5.0 breaking backwards compatibility;
    * if we are using PHP version lower than 5.5.0, we need to shift the arguments
    * @see http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php#refsect1-function.curl-setopt-changelog
    */
    if (version_compare(PHP_VERSION, '5.5.0') < 0) {
        $uploaded = $upload_size;
        $upload_size = $downloaded;
        $downloaded = $download_size;
        $download_size = $resource;
    }

    // Handle progress

It appears that setting CURLOPT_FILE before setting CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER doesn't work, presumably because CURLOPT_FILE depends on CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER being set.



So do this:



<?php

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

?>



not this:



<?php

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

  foreach($data as $key=>$value) {

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

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.

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.

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!

If you only want to enable cookie handling and you don't need to save the cookies for a separate session, just set CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE to an empty string.  I was given the advice to use php://memory but that did not seem to have the same effect.

Although this is stated in the documentation I thought it was worth reiterating since it cause me so much trouble.

If you use cURL to fetch user-supplied URLs (for instance, in a web-based RSS aggregator), be aware of the risk of server-side request forgery (SSRF). This is an attack where the user takes advantage of the fact that cURL requests are sent from the web server itself, to reach network locations they wouldn't be able to reach from outside the network.

For instance, they could enter a "http://localhost" URL, and access things on the web server via "localhost". Or, "ftp://localhost". cURL supports a lot of protocols!

If you are using CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, the malicious URL could be in a redirect from the original request. cURL also will follow redirect headers to other protocols! (303 See Other; Location: ftp://localhost).

So if you're using cURL with user-supplied URLs, at the very least use CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS (which also sets CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS), and either disable CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION or use the "SafeCurl" library to safely follow redirects.

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);

When using CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS with an array as parameter, you have to pay high attention to user input. Unvalidated user input will lead to serious security issues.

<?php

/**
 * test.php:
 */
$ch = curl_init('http://example.com');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array(
    'foo' => $_GET['bar']
));

curl_exec($ch);

?>

Requesting "test.php?bar=@/home/user/test.png" will send "test.png" to example.com. 
Make sure you remove the leading "@" from user input.

If you have turned on conditional gets on a curl handle, and then for a subsequent request, you don't have a good setting for CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE , you can disable If-Modified-Since checking with:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $foo);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, filemtime($foo_path));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, CURLOPT_TIMECOND_IFMODIFIEDSINCE);

// Reuse same curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $bar);

FYI... unless you specifically set the user agent, no user agent will be sent in your request as there is no default value like some of the other options.

As others have said, not sending a user agent may cause you to not  get the results that you expected, e.g., 0 byte length content, different content, etc.

This is howto upload an existing file to an FTP server with cURL in PHP.

You should remember that CURLOPT_URL should contain the file's basename to save on the FTP server. For example, if you upload hello.txt to ftp://www.wuxiancheng.cn/text/, CURLOPT_URL should be ftp://www.wuxiancheng.cn/text/hello.txt rather than ftp://www.wuxiancheng.cn/text/, otherwise you will get an error message like "Uploading to a URL without a file name! " when you call curl_error();

<?php
    $ch = curl_init();
    $filepath = 'D:\Web\www\wuxiancheng.cn\hello.txt';
    $basename = pathInfo($filepath, PATHINFO_BASENAME);
    $filesize = fileSize($filepath);
    curl_setopt_array(
        $ch,
        array(
            CURLOPT_URL => 'ftp://www.wuxiancheng.cn/text/' . $basename,
            CURLOPT_USERPWD => 'USERNAME:PASSWORD',
            CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS => CURLPROTO_FTP,
            CURLOPT_UPLOAD => true,
            CURLOPT_INFILE => $filepath,
            CURLOPT_INFILESIZE => $filesize,
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
            CURLOPT_HEADER => false,
        )
    );
    curl_exec($ch);
    $message = curl_errno($ch) === CURLE_OK ? 'success' : 'failure';
    echo $message;
?>

Hello. 
During problems with "CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set" 
I was looking for solution. 
I've found few methods on this page, but none of them was good enough, so I made one.
<?php
function curl_redirect_exec($ch, &$redirects, $curlopt_header = false) {
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    $http_code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    if ($http_code == 301 || $http_code == 302) {
        list($header) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $data, 2);
        $matches = array();
        preg_match('/(Location:|URI:)(.*?)\n/', $header, $matches);
        $url = trim(array_pop($matches));
        $url_parsed = parse_url($url);
        if (isset($url_parsed)) {
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            $redirects++;
            return curl_redirect_exec($ch, $redirects);
        }
    }
    if ($curlopt_header)
        return $data;
    else {
        list(,$body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $data, 2);
        return $body;
    }
}
?>

Main issue in existing functions was lack of information, how many redirects was done. 
This one will count it. 
First parameter as usual. 
Second should be already initialized integer, it will be incremented by number of done redirects. 
You can set CURLOPT_HEADER if You need it.

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);

I spent a couple of days trying to POST a multi-dimensional array of form fields, including a file upload, to a remote server to update a product. Here are the breakthroughs that FINALLY allowed the script to run as desired.

Firstly, the HTML form used input names like these:
<input type="text" name="product[name]" />
<input type="text" name="product[cost]" />
<input type="file" name="product[thumbnail]" />
in conjunction with two other form inputs not part of the product array
<input type="text" name="method" value="put" />
<input type="text" name="mode" />

I used several cURL options, but the only two (other than URL) that mattered were:
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
Pretty standard so far.
Note: headers didn't need to be set, cURL automatically sets headers (like content-type: multipart/form-data; content-length...) when you pass an array into CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS.
Note: even though this is supposed to be a PUT command through an HTTP POST form, no special PUT options needed to be passed natively through cURL. Options such as
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT', 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($fields)));
or
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_PUT, true);
or
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT);
were not needed to make the code work.

The fields I wanted to pass through cURL were arranged into an array something like this:
$postfields = array("method" => $_POST["method"],
                    "mode" => $_POST["mode"],
                    "product" => array("name" => $_POST["product"], 
                                        "cost" => $_POST["product"]["cost"], 
                                        "thumbnail" => "@{$_FILES["thumbnail"]["tmp_name"]};type={$_FILES["thumbnail"]["type"]}")
                    );

-Notice how the @ precedes the temporary filename, this creates a link so PHP will upload/transfer an actual file instead of just the file name, which would happen if the @ isn't included.
-Notice how I forcefully set the mime-type of the file to upload. I was having issues where images filetypes were defaulting to octet-stream instead of image/png or image/jpeg or whatever the type of the selected image.

I then tried passing $postfields straight into curl_setopt($this->handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields); but it didn't work.
I tried using http_build_query($postfields); but that didn't work properly either.
In both cases either the file wouldn't be treated as an actual file and the form data wasn't being sent properly. The problem was HTTP's methods of transmitting arrays. While PHP and other languages can figure out how to handle arrays passed via forms, HTTP isn't quite as sofisticated. I had to rewrite the $postfields array like so:
$postfields = array("method" => $_POST["method"],
                    "mode" => $_POST["mode"],
                    "product[name]" => $_POST["product"], 
                    "product[cost]" => $_POST["product"]["cost"], 
                    "product[thumbnail]" => "@{$_FILES["thumbnail"]["tmp_name"]}");
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);

This, without the use of http_build_query, solved all of my problems. Now the receiving host outputs both $_POST and $_FILES vars correctly.

Handling redirections with curl if safe_mode or open_basedir is enabled. The function working transparent, no problem with header and returntransfer options. You can handle the max redirection with the optional second argument (the function is set the variable to zero if max redirection exceeded).

Second parameter values:

- maxredirect is null or not set: redirect maximum five time, after raise PHP warning

- maxredirect is greather then zero: no raiser error, but parameter variable set to zero

- maxredirect is less or equal zero: no follow redirections



<?php

function curl_exec_follow(/*resource*/ $ch, /*int*/ &$maxredirect = null) {

    $mr = $maxredirect === null ? 5 : intval($maxredirect);

    if (ini_get('open_basedir') == '' && ini_get('safe_mode' == 'Off')) {

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, $mr > 0);

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, $mr);

    } else {

        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);

        if ($mr > 0) {

            $newurl = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL);



            $rch = curl_copy_handle($ch);

            curl_setopt($rch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

            curl_setopt($rch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);

            curl_setopt($rch, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, false);

                    $code = 0;

                } else {

                    $code = curl_getinfo($rch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

                    if ($code == 301 || $code == 302) {

CURLOPT_POST must be left unset if you want the Content-Type header set to "multipart/form-data" (e.g., when CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is an array). If you set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to an array and have CURLOPT_POST set to TRUE, Content-Length will be -1 and most sane servers will reject the request. If you set CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to an array and have CURLOPT_POST set to FALSE, cURL will send a GET request.

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);

In order to reset CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, set it to array(). The cURL C API says you should set it to NULL, but that doesn’t work in the PHP wrapper.

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).

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 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;

CURLOPT_POST should be set before CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. Otherwise you might encounter 411 Length required error.

Following code generates "411 Length Required" on nginx/1.1.15

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.

In the long documentation, it's easy to miss the fact that CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS will set the Content-Type to "multipart/form-data" (instead of the usual "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") IFF you supply an array (instead of a query string)!

Some servers will return weird errors (like "SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 104") for the wrong Content-Type, and you may waste many hours of time trying to figure out why!

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.

This may be not obvious, but if you specify the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS and don't specify the CURLOPT_POST - it will still send POST, not GET (as you might think - since GET is default).
So the line:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

is synonym to:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

Even if you set the options like this (in this order):

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

it will send POST, since CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is latter.
So if you want GET - make sure you don't have CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS specified somewhere.

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, '2');

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

<?php

$Output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

If you have a mixture of strings starting with @ (at character) and files in CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS you have a problem (such as posting a tweet with attached media) because curl tries to interpret anything starting with @ as a file.

<?php

$postfields = array(
    'upload_file' => '@file_to_upload.png',
    'upload_text' => '@text_to_upload'
);

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/upload-test');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postfields);
curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

?>

To get around this, prepend the text string with the NULL character like so:

<?php
    $postfields = array(
        'upload_file' => '@file_to_upload.png',
        'upload_text' => sprintf("\0%s", '@text_to_upload')
    );
?>

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');

If you need to send deta in a DELETE request, use:

<?php
$request_body = 'some data';
$ch = curl_init('http://www.example.com');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $request_body);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "DELETE");
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
var_dump($response);
?>

if you want to do a GET request with additional body data it will become tricky not to implicitly change the request to a POST, like many notes below correctly state.
So to do the analogy of command line's

curl -XGET 'http://example.org?foo=bar' -d '<baz>some additional data</baz>'

in PHP you'll do, besides your other necessary stuff,

<?php
    curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
    curl_setopt($curlHandle, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '<baz>some additional data</baz>');
?>

during my experiments, every other "similar" way, like e.g. CURLOPT_HTTPGET, didn't send the additional data or fell into POST.

If you want cURL to successfully write cookies to a file specified with CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, ensure that cURL has the necessary permissions to modify the file if it already exists.

I spent nearly a day trying to understand why cURL wasn't saving cookies to an existing file, even though I could easily modify the exact same file using file_put_contents(). Moreover, cURL itself could create the same file and save cookies, but only if it didn't previously exist.

Ultimately, the issue was related to file ownership. I was working within WSL2, inside a symlinked Windows directory. The [automount]"metadata" in wsl.conf was not set, causing every file created from PHP to have the default owner, which differed from the user running PHP.

Once I configured wsl.conf and then changed the ownership of the entire directory to match the user running PHP, cookies were successfully written to any file without any issues.

Set order when using CURLOPT_POST and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS *matters*.
Setting CURL_POST to true will ERASE any previous CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS using an array. Result is request be a POST with empty body.

CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS will set CURLOPT_POST to true for you, no need for repeat.
If you really need to set both, then either:
  - set CURLOPT_POST *before* CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
  - or don't use array and convert CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to URL-encoded string, it will not be affected this way (ie. <?php curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($yourArray)); ?> )

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



<?php

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

?>
