Re: [PHP] cURL uses
well, there are more reasons you should use cURL .. - control and flexibility of the output, - post variables, - can interact with secure servers (ssl - supports certificates) - can use with proxys (http/socks) - set timeouts - easily modify headers :) - use different ip`s of the server when it`s used (if it is configured to do so) please read documentation at php.net/curl before changing your mind to not use it. it helps you a lot in your applications. an old frend told me.. you`ll love this class - what to see.. it happend :) On 11/15/06, Philip Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi.

Does anyone have a useful example on why you would want to use cURL? It allows significant configurability and flexibility over PHP's more direct functions, for example, the ability to set a timeout, or get more direct control over output. You only have to read the curl documentation to see that it can do a lot of things that other PHP functions just can't do. I would suggest that you probably shouldn't try to find a reason to use curl, rather a reason to use curl will find you. jon -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
