The CURL functions provide access to libcurl, a library that manages connections to servers via a number of different Internet protocols. CURL supports the HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, gopher, telnet, dict, file, and LDAP protocols; HTTPS certificates; HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, and FTP uploading; HTTP form-based uploading; proxies; cookies; and user authentication.

To use CURL functions, you must install CURL, Version 7.0.2-beta or later, and compile PHP with the --with-curl[ =DIR ] directive.
