Can PHP cURL retrieve response headers AND body in a single request?

Is there any way to get both headers and body for a cURL request using PHP? I found that this option:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

is going to return the body plus headers, but then I need to parse it to get the body. Is there any way to get both in a more usable (and secure) way?

Note that for “single request” I mean avoiding issuing a HEAD request prior of GET/POST.
