Question

I have been messing with CURL for the past day and I cannot seem to figure out how to parse out the return data. I know I could write a REGEX to extract data from the response but it seems like there is some function I am probably missing. Here is what I would like to try and do.

I want to make POST to a different domain and get back 3 things
1. the response headers
2. the response data
3. a session cookie

Is there a way I can get those 3 things back separately? right now I just get back a plain text response with the response header and the response data. I would like to be able to do something like

$Response = curl_exec($Curl_Connection);
$ResponseData = $Response['Data'];
$ResponseHeader = $Response['Header'];
ResponseCookie = $Response['Cookie'];

Does curl provide anything like this?

As I answered:

no post data returned when requesting headers CURLOPT_HEADER. PHP CURL

Add:

curl_setopt($Curl_Connection, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);

$Response = curl_exec($Curl_Connection);
$curlHeaderSize=curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);

$ResponseData = mb_substr($result, $curlHeaderSize);
$ResponseHeader = mb_substr($result, 0, $curlHeaderSize);

preg_match_all('|Set-Cookie: (.*);|U', $ResponseHeader, $content);   
$ResponseCookie = implode(';', $content[1]);
