Php - multiple curl requests (NOT "multithreading")

Question

If I want to do a few things (which require cookies) with curl, for example:

• Log in to (my own) blog
• then automatically post a blog post

Am I doing this in one curl instance before closing or closing the first session and then starting the second for the second task? (Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I can't get it. As a rule, all the examples on the network that I find in curl do only one thing ... this does not help me with understanding this.)

Answer 1

Generally speaking:

• Initialize curl. ( curl_init , or curl_multi_init )
• Do things (things). (in several curl_exec if necessary, calls, or curl_multi_exec )
• Close the curl. ( curl_close or curl_multi_close )

So yes, all in one session.

Answer 2

Yes, open and close each curl object before moving on to the next.
