basic curl example

*$ch **= curl_init("http://www.example.com/");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);**
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
echo curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

from:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

*CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS* The full data to post in a HTTP "POST" operation. To
post a file, prepend a filename with *@* and use the full path. The filetype
can be explicitly specified by following the filename with the type in the
format '*;type=mimetype*'. This parameter can either be passed as a
urlencoded string like '*para1=val1&para2=val2&...*' or as an array with the
field name as key and field data as value. If *value* is an array, the *
Content-Type* header will be set to *multipart/form-data*. As of PHP 5.2.0,
files thats passed to this option with the *@* prefix must be in array form
to work.
