IMO this example would have been better if it had done a check for curl_error(), in order to advertize the existence of this function to people learning about cURL who try the example but mysteriously get no response back for whatever reason.
Как только вы собрали PHP с поддержкой cURL уже можно использовать функции cURL. Работа с cURL всегда начинается с вызова curl_init(), затем устанавливаются необходимые параметры с помощью curl_setopt(), и выполняется требуемая операция вызовом curl_exec(), после чего вызовом curl_close() сеанс работы завершается. Приведённый ниже пример использует функции cURL для сохранения стартовой страницы сайта example.com в файл:
Пример #1 Использование модуля cURL для сохранения стартовой страницы example.com
<?php
$ch = curl_init("http://www.example.com/");
$fp = fopen("example_homepage.txt", "w");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_exec($ch);
if(curl_error($ch)) {
fwrite($fp, curl_error($ch));
}
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);
?>

It is important to notice that when using curl to post form data and you use an array for CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS option, the post will be in multipart format
<?php
$params=['name'=>'John', 'surname'=>'Doe', 'age'=>36)
$defaults = array(
CURLOPT_URL => 'http://myremoteservice/',
CURLOPT_POST => true,
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $params,
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($ch, ($options + $defaults));
?>
This produce the following post header:
--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"
Jhon
--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="surnname"
Doe
--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="age"
36
--------------------------fd1c4191862e3566--
Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS as follow produce a standard post header
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => http_build_query($params),
Which is:
name=John&surname=Doe&age=36
This caused me 2 days of debug while interacting with a java service which was sensible to this difference, while the equivalent one in php got both format without problem.
