curl_setopt_array — Set multiple options for a cURL transfer
Sets multiple options for a cURL session. This function is useful for setting a large number of cURL options without repetitively calling curl_setopt().
handle
A cURL handle returned by curl_init().
optionsAn array specifying which options to set and their values. The keys should be valid curl_setopt() constants or their integer equivalents.
Returns true if all options were successfully set. If an option could
not be successfully set, false is immediately returned, ignoring any
future options in the options array.

Example #1 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);
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>Note:
As with curl_setopt(), passing an array to
CURLOPT_POSTwill encode the data as multipart/form-data, while passing a URL-encoded string will encode the data as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
