`option`

- Option | Description
  `CURLSHOPT_SHARE` | Specifies a type of data that should be shared.

`value`

- Value | Description
  `CURL_LOCK_DATA_COOKIE` | Shares cookie data.
  `CURL_LOCK_DATA_DNS` | Shares DNS cache. Note that when you use cURL multi handles, all handles added to the same multi handle will share DNS cache by default.

### `curl_share_setopt` example

This example will create a cURL share handle, add two cURL handles to it, and then run them with cookie data sharing.

    <?php
    // Create cURL share handle and set it to share cookie data
    $sh = curl_share_init();
    curl_share_setopt($sh, CURLSHOPT_SHARE, CURL_LOCK_DATA_COOKIE);

    // Initialize the first cURL handle and assign the share handle to it
    $ch1 = curl_init("http://example.com/");
    curl_setopt($ch1, CURLOPT_SHARE, $sh);

    // Execute the first cURL handle
    curl_exec($ch1);

    // Initialize the second cURL handle and assign the share handle to it
    $ch2 = curl_init("http://php.net/");
    curl_setopt($ch2, CURLOPT_SHARE, $sh);

    // Execute the second cURL handle
    //  all cookies from $ch1 handle are shared with $ch2 handle
    curl_exec($ch2);

    // Close the cURL share handle
    curl_share_close($sh);

    // Close the cURL handles
    curl_close($ch1);
    curl_close($ch2);
    ?>
