A slight evolved version with some defaults and basic error handling:

function filegetcontentscurl($url, $curlopt = array()){ $ch = curlinit(); $defaultcurlopt = array( CURLOPTTIMEOUT => 2, CURLOPTRETURNTRANSFER => 1, CURLOPTFOLLOWLOCATION => 1, CURLOPTUSERAGENT => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 AlexaToolbar/alxf-1.54 Firefox/3.6.13 GTB7.1" ); $curlopt = array(CURLOPTURL => $url) + $curlopt + $defaultcurlopt; curlsetoptarray($ch, $curlopt); $response = curlexec($ch); if($response === false) triggererror(curlerror($ch)); curl_close($ch); return $response; }
