array
options
Sets multiple options for a cURL session. This function is useful for setting a large number of cURL options without repetitively calling curl_setopt.
ENTITY
options
An array specifying which options to set and their values. The keys should be valid curl_setopt constants or their integer equivalents.
ENTITY
Returns ENTITY if all options were successfully set. If an option could not be successfully set, ENTITY is immediately returned, ignoring any future options in the options array.
ENTITY
Throws a ValueError when options contains an invalid cURL option.

| ENTITY | ENTITY |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 | curl_setopt_array now throws a ValueError if options contains an unknown option or a string key. Previously, unknown options were silently ignored, and a string key emitted an E_WARNING and returned ENTITY. |
ENTITY
Initializing a new cURL session and fetching a web page
<?php
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
$options = array(CURLOPT_URL => 'http://www.example.com/',
CURLOPT_HEADER => false
);
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
?>
ENTITY
[!NOTE] As with
curl_setopt, passing an array toCURLOPT_POSTwill encode the data as multipart/form-data, while passing a URL-encoded string will encode the data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
