I just wanted to see if anyone knew if there was any difference in
performance between using curl in an exec() statement and when using
the libCurl functions within PHP.
Executing a separate program should be a little slower as it adds some
overhead before executing a request. Actually, in some cases it can be
a little faster to use fsockopen instead of libcurl as it is one less
library to load.
You may also want to take a look at this HTTP client class that uses
fsockopen everytime it is possible and only uses libcurl functions in
certain cases. This class takes care of cookie handling, redirection,
form posting, file uploading, etc..
