cURL and curl_setopt- how to remove an option

I am using cURL to firstly get a list of files from a remote FTP server. I then use the same Curl Handle to download that file. After the download, I then once again use the same handle to remove the file.

When I use the following code to remove the file, it does succeed:

curl_setopt($tmp["curl"], CURLOPT_QUOTE, array("DELE " . $tmp["file"]));

although I get the following in the logs:

[PHP Warning] curl_exec(): CURLOPT_FILE resource has gone away, resetting to default [l:52]

The reason is that when I first downloaded the file, I set the following option:

curl_setopt($tmp["curl"], CURLOPT_FILE, $tmp["file_handle"]);

My question is, how do I unset options that I have added? I want to remove the above option so that I can reuse the curl connection to delete the file.. or what option to I set to basically unset this option?

I wanted to use the same curl instance to save to a file, then request a page and save to a variable.

After trying all of the above and other suggestions, none of which worked, I came accross the correct solution....

reset file to default STDOUT

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, fopen('php://stdout','w'));

dont' forget to re-enable return transfer if that's what you want to do

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

If you look at this post, as well, basically reset the CURLOPT_FILE option to the default STDOUT (NULL will cause a warning!).

Then, if you mean to capture the output to a string, you need to explicitly set the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option to true to override the file option, even if you set it earlier on.

Hope this helps somebody who was also looking for this answer.

This worked for me:

curl_setopt($tmp["curl"], CURLOPT_FILE, STDOUT);

just setting it to NULL should work

curl_setopt($tmp["curl"], CURLOPT_FILE, NULL);

as discussed here

You unset an option by setting the value to null, like so:

curl_setopt($tmp["curl"], CURLOPT_QUOTE, null);
