help on using curl

[shotokan99]

hi,
i wanted to accomplish these task:

1. from that webservice get a certain set of strings from the header
2. next, generate the image.

and these 2 steps will be done at the same time.

to get the header value:
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 0;
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xmyurl);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

ob_start();
curl_exec($ch);
$s=ob_get_conte nts();

now from the same url i want also to generate the image on the file.
if just to create the image:

$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 0;
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xmyurl);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECT TIMEOUT, $timeout);
// Getting binary data
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_RETURNT RANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_BINARYT RANSFER, 1);

$image = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch) ;

now...how to combine both functions?

You could try CURLOPT_HEADERF UNCTION, example here:

how to write a callback function that will simply get a custom field
from the header? if i run this code:
$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 0;
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $xmyurl);
curl_setopt($ch , CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);

ob_start();
curl_exec($ch);
$s=ob_get_conte nts();
echo var_dump($s);

i get this result:
string(712) "HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1 Content-
Disposition: attachment; filename=5abe32 5176661.png ...."

now there are part of the string that i wanted to take..perhaps i can
use strpos,preg_mat ch...etc.
