7. PHP/CURL Issues

  7.1 What is PHP/CURL?

  The module for PHP that makes it possible for PHP programs to access curl-
  functions from within PHP.

  In the cURL project we call this module PHP/CURL to differentiate it from
  curl the command line tool and libcurl the library. The PHP team however
  does not refer to it like this (for unknown reasons). They call it plain
  CURL (often using all caps) which causes much confusion to users which in
  turn gives us a higher question load.

  7.2 Who write PHP/CURL?

  PHP/CURL is a module that comes with the regular PHP package. It depends and
  uses libcurl, so you need to have libcurl installed properly first before
  PHP/CURL can be used. PHP/CURL is written by Sterling Hughes.

  7.3 Can I perform multiple requests using the same handle?

  Yes - at least in PHP version 4.3.8 and later (this has been known to not
  work in earlier versions, but the exact version when it started to work is
  unknown to me).

  After a transfer, you just set new options in the handle and make another
  transfer. This will make libcurl to re-use the same connection if it can.
