curl_getinfo — Get information regarding a specific transfer

Description

curl_getinfo ( resource $ch [, int $opt ] ) : mixed

Parameters

ch

A cURL handle returned by curl_init().

opt

This may be one of the following constants:

  • CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE - The last response code. As of PHP 5.5.0 and cURL 7.10.8, this is a legacy alias of CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE
  • CURLINFO_FILETIME - Remote time of the retrieved document, with the CURLOPT_FILETIME enabled; if -1 is returned the time of the document is unknown
  • CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME - Total transaction time in seconds for last transfer

  • 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

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";
}

curl_close($ch);
?>

Example #2 curl_getinfo() example with opt 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($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE)) {
    case 200:  # OK
      break;

  }
}

// 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.
