help on using curl

[cityboy101]

hi,

i wanted to accomplish these task:

 

1. from that webservice get a certain set of strings from the header

2. next, generate the image.

 

 

and these 2 steps will be done at the same time.

 

 

to get the header value:

$ch = curl_init();

$timeout = 0;

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xmyurl);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

 

 

ob_start();

curl_exec($ch);

$s=ob_get_contents();

 

 

now from the same url i want also to generate the image on the file.

if just to create the image:

 

 

$ch = curl_init();

$timeout = 0;

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xmyurl);

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);

// Getting binary data

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);

 

 

$image = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

 

 

now...how to combine both functions?
