cURL... how do I get the stream it recieves?

[epimeth]

I know I can write it to an open file using curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

but can I store it in a string instead?

I've tried this, bit it didn't work....

<?php

$url = "http://admin.buysub.com/servlet/ASGateway";
$url .= "?submit=Send";

$out = tmpfile();

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURL_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $out);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

echo $url.'<br />';
echo $ch.'<br />';
rewind($out);

$contents = fread($out, filesize($out));
echo $contents;

fclose($contents);

?>

$contents should be 40....

any ideas?

playing around with ftell a bit, I noticed that there isn't actually anything in $out.... its just an empty file!!!!
