CURL data in array

Question

I am using cURL to fetch data from another site into my application. I am getting the data in exactly the same format as it is displayed on the browser.

What I need is to get the data in a form of an array.

I even tried using file_get_contents, but it also doesn't gives me the data in array (as it outputs in array).

show us how your data Looks like and show us your CURL code... — Svetoslav

to take the cookie data and the location of a header, I use this code, hope this help.

You can try with any other information that the header can give you.

...
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

$var = explode("\n", $result);
$header = array();

foreach( $var as $row ) {
    if( strpos( strtolower($row), "set-cookie: " ) !== false ) {
        $header['set-cookie'] = str_ireplace("Set-Cookie: ", "", $row);
    } else if( strpos( strtolower($row), "location: " ) !== false ) {
        $header['location'] = str_ireplace("Location: ", "", $row);
    }
}

PS: I was mistaken, i believed that it was about the Header not the HTML content.

Have you ever used xpath? It will load you whole html and you can fetch whatever element you have required from that html.
