By default, cURL issues an HTTP GET request. In this case, you'd have to append the parameters to the URL you're calling:

$curl = curl_init('http://localhost/sample.php?foo=bar&baz=zoid');

In sample.php, $_GET['bar'] and $_GET['baz'] would be available respectively. If it's a POST request, you want to issue, you'll need to set the parameters via curl_setopt:

$curl = curl_init('http://localhost/sample.php');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'foo=bar&baz=zoid');
