    <p>I am working on a scrapper (in PHP) and use cURL to fetch pages. The script can be run both in CLI &amp; browser. This is my first time working with PHP on CLI and I was trying to make the screen pretty and have a nice data representation like scrape statistics show up.</p> <p>I am able to generate the output the way I want it, well almost. But with every cURL request the server makes, it also outputs this the extra header information like this :</p> <pre><code>* About to connect() to imbd.com port 80 (#0) * Trying 123.111.222.333... * connected &gt; GET /categories/something.html HTTP/1.1 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:21.0) Gecko/20130401 Firefox/21.0 Host: imdb.com Accept: */* &lt; HTTP/1.1 200 OK &lt; Server: nginx/1.4.1 &lt; Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2013 02:17:06 GMT &lt; Content-Type: text/html &lt; Transfer-Encoding: chunked &lt; Connection: keep-alive &lt; Vary: Accept-Encoding &lt; X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.17 &lt; Set-Cookie: mobileType=0%something; expires=Wed, 01-Jan-2014 02:17:06 GMT; path=/; domain=.imdb.com &lt; * Connection #0 to host imdb.com left intact * Closing connection #0 ... Statistics ... </code></pre> <p>Function that uses cURL</p> <pre><code> public function getHTML($url) { $user_agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; U; zh-cn; rv:1.9.1.6) ..."; $options = Array( CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER =&gt; TRUE, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION =&gt; TRUE, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER =&gt; TRUE, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT =&gt; 120, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT =&gt; 120, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS =&gt; 10, CURLOPT_USERAGENT =&gt; $user_agent, CURLOPT_URL =&gt; $url, CURLOPT_VERBOSE =&gt; true, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER =&gt; false, ); $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt_array($ch, $options); $data = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); return $data; } </code></pre> <p>Now all I want to do is <strong>hide this information from the CLI</strong> as it does in the browser. Had it been cli curl, i would use <code>-s</code> to shut it up. But I am unable to find an PHP alternative for this. Also, <code>CURLOPT_MUTE</code> is depreciated. All Google gave me was to set <code>CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER</code> true, which I already have.</p> <p>Also I would like to know how can I <strong>avoid setting any cookies</strong> to avoid tracking.</p> <p>If it helps in any way I am using</p> <ul> <li>OS : Ubuntu</li> <li>Software : PHP5.5</li> <li>Framework : CodeIgniter 3.0-dev</li> <li>Extension: cURL</li> <li>Interface : Command Line (Terminal)</li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
