Question

I am using cURL to fetch data from another site into my application. I am getting the data in exactly the same format as it is displayed on the browser.

What I need is to get the data in a form of an array.

I even tried using file_get_contents, but it also doesn’t gives me the data in array (as it outputs in array).

Answer 1

to take the cookie data and the location of a header, I use this code, hope this help.

You can try with any other information that the header can give you.

...
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$var = explode("\n", $result);
$header = array();

foreach( $var as $row ) {
    if( strpos( strtolower($row), "set-cookie: " ) !== false ) {
        $header['set-cookie'] = str_ireplace("Set-Cookie: ", "", $row);
    } else if( strpos( strtolower($row), "location: " ) !== false ) {
        $header['location'] = str_ireplace("Location: ", "", $row);
    }
}

PS: I was mistaken, i believed that it was about the Header not the HTML content.
