Seeking php help converting fopen to curl

[AshleyQuick]

Here's the part of the code that uses the fopen methodology:

$file = SAMPLE_FILE . '.' . $zip . '.xml';
if(!file_exists($file) || filemtime($file) < time() - 3600) {
    $this->data = @file_get_contents('http://xml.mydomain.com/rss?p=' . $zip . '&u=' . $units['zap']);
    $fp = @fopen($file, 'w');
    @fwrite($fp, $this->data);
    @fclose($fd);
}
else $this->data = @file_get_contents($file);
if(strlen($this->data) <= 0) return;

Use this for your 'if' block:

	if(!file_exists($file) || filemtime($file) < time() - 3600) 
	{
		$ch = @curl_init('http://xml.mydomain.com/rss?p=' . urlencode($zip) . '&u=' . urlencode($units['zap']));
		$fp = @fopen($file,'w');
		@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
		@curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
		@curl_exec($ch);
		@curl_close($ch);
		@fclose($fp);
	}

Minor adjustments and corrections. Here's the working fragment:

 if(!file_exists($file) || filemtime($file) < time() - 3600) 
    {
        $ch = @curl_init('http://xml.mydomain.com/rss?p=' . urlencode($zip) . '&u=' . urlencode($units['zap']));
        $fp = @fopen($file,'w');
        @curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
        @curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        @curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MUTE, 1);
        @curl_exec($ch);
        @curl_close($ch);
        @fclose($fp);
    }  

 $this->data = @file_get_contents($file);
 if(strlen($this->data) <= 0) return;
