Absolutely. Your best bet, leaving the most visible way of tracing the steps on any authorization, would be to save the returned string to a file. Open the file and pass the handle to CURL_SETOPT like
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $return_data_fp); Then have your script parse the data and output to the user appropriately. Alternately, you can set RETURNTRANSFER and put the string in a variable, like curl_setopt($ch, RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $return_data = curl_exec($ch); but then the variable is transient and you have no record of the transaction. By using the first option you can retrace the steps of any transaction if you ever need to.
