Difference between cURL headers

What is difference between below headers sent by cURL?

$header="POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.1\r\n";
$header .="Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .="Host: www.paypal.com\r\n";
$header .="Connection: close\r\n\r\n";

And 

$header = array ('POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.1', 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'Host: www.paypal.com', 'Connection: close');

Used for 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);

Can I use both methods for setting up headers for cURL?Thanks

Both solutions are wrong although the second is less wrong.

Both include the POST line which is the request line and not actually a header by definition. Thus, including that in the header option will create a bad request. (but yes, it may still work)
