I have the following code block which connects out to a secure service (payment transaction gateway), passes in some fields ($postData) and receives a response ($returnValue). 

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://secure.service.com/data');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_OUT, true);
if ($returnValue = curl_exec($ch))
{
    $error = curl_error($ch);
}

When I display the contents of $returnValue … they show as follows:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK Approved Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2011 09:24:15 GMT
Connection: close Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 182
avs_code=X&cvv2_code=P&status_code=1&processor=TEST&auth_code=999999&settle_amount=2000&settle_currency=USD&trans_id=120741127516&auth_msg=TEST+APPROVED&auth_date=2011-08-10+09:24:15

Is there a method or CURL call that breaks apart this result string into its component parts? or is that something I need to write myself? I need to get the response code (200), the approval/decline part (Approved) and the query string (avs_code ….). I tried looking through the curl_getinfo but that is only getting me the HTTP Response code, not the approval/decline or the query string values.

I’m a novice at PHP so please let me know if I’m missing an obvious method call or CURL parameter.

        $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    $header=substr($result,0,curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE));
    $body=substr($result,curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE));
    curl_close($ch);

    Than use something like preg_match_all("/Set-Cookie: (.*?)=(.*?);/i",$header,$res);

    See preg_match_all manual
