stream from curl

[toshog]

hello,

how can i get the output file from the curl function to stream - to be processed like from fopen() or fsockopen()?

i'm trying soemthing like this but it doesn't work:

<?
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.myurl.com");
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, 1);
$fp = curl_exec ($ch);
while (!feof($fp)) {
echo fgets ($fp,4096);
}
curl_close ($ch);
fclose ($fp);
?>

the error:
feof(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource

apparently the file is return as a string. if i need to process it how will i do that? whitout saving it to disk first of course...

thanks...

thanks Diego.... but....
as the tip says:

Tip: As with anything that outputs its result directly to the browser, you can use the output-control functions to capture the output of this function, and save it in a string (for example).

the output is saved as a string - i need it as a stream...
like when you use fopen() or fsockopen()....
