To answer the question you asked me offline

> Please explain the "something like"

while PHP has a built-in cURL interface (in the curl_* functions),
you can also use the php exec() function to execute the standalone
curl command.

https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php
explains the parameters to this function.

The array (that I named $OUTPUT) will contain the data returned
by the curl command, satisfying your quest to "direct curl output
to ... an array".

The argument that I named $RC will contain the return status of the
curl command.
