Curl

[cpaoletto]

My hosting company does not allow the use of fopen. I am not very familiar with Curl but I was told that would work. How would I modify the code below to utilize curl instead of fopen?

<?
$fp = fopen($url, "r");
while(!feof($fp)){
$result = fgets($fp, 500);
$result = explode("%", $result);
$errcode = substr($result[0], -1);
switch($errcode){
case 3:
$returnval = $result[8];
break;
case 4:
$returnval = $result[8];
break;
case 5:
$returnval = $result[1];
break;
case 6:
$returnval = $result[1];
break;
}
}
fclose($fp);
if(! $returnval) { $returnval = "error"; }
return $returnval;
?>

Any help would be great!!!

Thanks!

<?php
 function curl_copy($url, $dest){
  $ch = curl_init($url);
  $fp = fopen($dest, "w");

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

  curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
  fclose($fp);
 }

 $temp = '/tempFile.tmp';

 curl_copy($url, $temp);
 $fp = fopen($temp, "r");
while(!feof($fp)){
$result = fgets($fp, 500);
$result = explode("%", $result);
$errcode = substr($result[0], -1);
switch($errcode){
case 3:
$returnval = $result[8];
break;
case 4:
$returnval = $result[8];
break;
case 5:
$returnval = $result[1];
break;
case 6:
$returnval = $result[1];
break;
}
}

fclose($fp); 
unlink($temp);

if (empty($reurnval)){
 $returnval = 'error';
}

return $returnval;
?>
