#18879 — directing curl output to an array or string

I would like to direct curl output to a string or an array.

I see how I can direct it to a file and then I could read it back 
in to a variable, but it seems there should be a way to just read 
the output to a string or array.

Thank you in advance.

See the first example on
  https://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.examples.php

or, did you mean something like

<?php
  exec("curl http://google.com/",$OUTPUT,$RC);
  echo $OUTPUT;
?>

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.

Luck be with you
