    Using protocols, one server can communicate with another server using the PHP cURL library.

    To put it simply, cURL enables us to send and receive data using the URL syntax. Communication between various websites and domains is simple with cURL.

    2. curl_setopt() This function defines various options for the cURL session.
    3. curl_setopt($ch, option, value) This function is used to set a cURL session's "ch" parameter's value as well as an option.
