unset curl CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS

I have an PHP class which is used to POST some data to a server, and GET some data back using the same open connection. The problem is that this code will try to POST data from 1st request, in the 2nd request...

curl_setopt(self::$ecurl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
curl_setopt(self::$ecurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$request=curl_exec(self::$ecurl);
curl_setopt(self::$ecurl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
$request=curl_exec(self::$ecurl);

So i need the way to unset CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. I tried to use curl_setopt(self::$ecurl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, null);, but anyway curl send Posting 0 bytes... in request's header.

Also please note, that i need to use exactly the same connection, so I can't create another connection via curl_init.

You could add your curl options into an array and use curl_setopt_array

This will make it easy to unset (or set) your options array elements.

$options = array(
               CURLOPT_URL => 'http://www.example.com/',
               CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST => 'PUT',
               CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => $post_data
           );

// condition on which you want to unset
if ($condition == true) {
    unset($options[CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS]);
}
...
curl_setopt_array($ch, $options);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

I understand this was an old question but still think this method can be handy.

Set the CURLOPT_HTTPGET to true prior to the last request.

From PHP.net:

CURLOPT_HTTPGET

TRUE to reset the HTTP request method to GET. Since GET is the default, this is only necessary if the request method has been changed.
