Remember, you have to have support compiled in to use (or have it loaded through a PHP extension). Use phpinfo() to determine if it is.

cURL is very useful in some situations. But as trache said. You MUST have it compiled in order to use it. So before you code, make sure you check and see if it is compiled on your hosts server.

thought I was in a different post - sorry
