It allows significant configurability and flexibility over PHP's more
direct functions, for example, the ability to set a timeout, or get more
direct control over output. You only have to read the curl documentation
to see that it can do a lot of things that other PHP functions just
can't do.
I would suggest that you probably shouldn't try to find a reason to use
curl, rather a reason to use curl will find you.
