How can one effectively suppress the output of a cURL process in PHP?

To effectively suppress the output of a cURL process in PHP, you can set the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option to true in the cURL request. This will return the response as a string instead of outputting it directly to the browser. 

// Initialize cURL session
$ch = curl_init();

// Set cURL options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://example.com/api');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Execute cURL request
$response = curl_exec($ch);

// Close cURL session
curl_close($ch);

// Process the response as needed
