Parameters

handle

A cURL handle returned by curl_init().

option

  • CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL - With the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option disabled: redirect URL found in the last transaction, that should be requested manually next. With the CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION option enabled: this is empty. The redirect URL in this case is available in CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL

  • "request_size"
  • "filetime"
  • "ssl_verify_result"

  • "local_port"
  • "redirect_url"
  • "request_header" (This is only set if the CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT is set by a previous call to curl_setopt())
Note that private data is not included in the associative array and must be retrieved individually with the CURLINFO_PRIVATE option.

Examples

Example #1 curl_getinfo() example

<?php
// Create a cURL handle
$ch curl_init('http://www.example.com/');

// Execute
curl_exec($ch);

// Check if any error occurred
if (!curl_errno($ch)) {
  
$info curl_getinfo($ch);
  echo 
'Took '$info['total_time'], ' seconds to send a request to '$info['url'], "\n";
}

// Close handle
curl_close($ch);
?>

Example #2 curl_getinfo() example with option parameter

<?php
// Create a cURL handle
$ch curl_init('http://www.example.com/');

// Execute
curl_exec($ch);

// Check HTTP status code
if (!curl_errno($ch)) {
  switch (
$http_code curl_getinfo($chCURLINFO_HTTP_CODE)) {
    case 
200:  # OK
      
break;
    default:
      echo 
'Unexpected HTTP code: '$http_code"\n";
  }
}

// Close handle
curl_close($ch);
?>

Notes

Note:

Information gathered by this function is kept if the handle is re-used. This means that unless a statistic is overridden internally by this function, the previous info is returned.
