curl_multi_remove_handle — Remove a handle from a set of cURL handles

Description

curl_multi_remove_handle(CurlMultiHandle $multi_handle, CurlHandle $handle): int

handle: A cURL handle returned by curl_init().

Return Values

Returns 0 on success, or one of the CURLM_* error codes.

It is always a good idea to use curl_close() on all individual curl handles after executing curl_multi_remove_handle(). This will free up additional memory resources. So, a typical code would look like:



<?php

$ch1 = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.example.com/');

curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);



$ch2 = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.example.net/');

curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);



$mh = curl_multi_init();



curl_multi_add_handle($mh, $ch1);

curl_multi_add_handle($mh, $ch2);



$active = null;



do {

curl_multi_exec($mh, $active);

}

while($active);



$res1 = curl_multi_getcontent($ch1);

$res2 = curl_multi_getcontent($ch2);



curl_multi_remove_handle($mh, $ch1);

curl_multi_remove_handle($mh, $ch2);



curl_multi_close($mh);



curl_close($ch1);

curl_close($ch2);

?>
