Sorry about this, I didn't notice the PHP examples in
the libcurl section of the site.

I'll be able to perform the sort of operation I'm
looking to do with CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION.

In case anyone is reading this with the same problem I
had, an example of CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION is at
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/php/examples/?ex=callbacks.php

Thanks.
