   Once you&#039;ve compiled PHP with cURL support, you can begin using

   the cURL functions. The basic idea behind the cURL functions is

   that you initialize a cURL session using the

   <a href="function.curl-init.php" class="function">curl_init()</a>, then you can set all your

   options for the transfer via the <a href="function.curl-setopt.php" class="function">curl_setopt()</a>,

   then you can execute the session with the 

   <a href="function.curl-exec.php" class="function">curl_exec()</a> and then you finish off 

   your session using the <a href="function.curl-close.php" class="function">curl_close()</a>. 

   Here is an example that uses the cURL functions to fetch the 

   example.com homepage into a file:
