PHP Manual: curl_setopt

Description

function curl_setopt_array(CurlHandle $handle, array $options): bool

Sets multiple options for a cURL session. This function is useful for setting a large number of cURL options without repetitively calling curl_setopt().

Parameters

handle: A cURL handle returned by curl_init().
options: An array specifying which options to set and their values. The keys should be valid curl_setopt() constants or their integer equivalents.

Return Values

Returns true if all options were successfully set. If an option could not be successfully set, false is immediately returned, ignoring any future options in the options array.

Errors/Exceptions

Throws a ValueError when options contains an invalid cURL option.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	curl_setopt_array() now throws a ValueError if `options` contains an unknown option or a string key. Previously, unknown options were silently ignored, and a string key emitted an `E_WARNING` and returned `false`.
8.0.0	`handle` expects a CurlHandle instance now; previously, a resource was expected.

Examples

Example #1 Initializing a new cURL session and fetching a web page

<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
$options = array(CURLOPT_URL => 'http://www.example.com/',
                 CURLOPT_HEADER => false
                );

curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
?>

Notes

Note:
As with curl_setopt(), passing an array to CURLOPT_POST will encode the data as multipart/form-data, while passing a URL-encoded string will encode the data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
