I would like to use cURL to read the HTML (or whatever I am fetching) directly into a variable instead of only into a file or STDOUT.

Something like:

$ch = curl_init("http://www.somepage.com/");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_VARIABLE,$myoutput);
curl_exec($ch);
print $myoutput;

There is already CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option
which can be used to to this.

<?php

$ch = curl_init("http://www.somepage.com");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$myoutput=curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

?>

There was a bug with CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER but it's 
now fixed in CVS.
