This function should be called after you initialize a CURL
session and all the options for the session are set. Its purpose
is simply to execute the predefined CURL session (given by the
ch).
Example 1.
Initializing a new CURL session and fetching a webpage
<?php // create a new curl resource $ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser curl_exec($ch);
// close curl resource, and free up system resources curl_close($ch); ?>
Note:
If you want to have the result returned instead of it being printed to the
browser directly, use the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option of
curl_setopt().
