I know how to get the html source code via cUrl, but I want to remove the comments on the html document (I mean what is between <!-- .. -->). In addition, if I can take just the BODY of the html document. thank you.

Answer
Try PHP DOM*:
$html = '<html><body><!--a comment--><div>some content</div></body></html>'; // put your cURL result here
$dom = new DOMDocument;
$dom->loadHtml($html);
$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);
foreach ($xpath->query('//comment()') as $comment) {
$comment->parentNode->removeChild($comment);
}
$body = $xpath->query('//body')->item(0);
$newHtml = $body instanceof DOMNode ? $dom->saveXml($body) : 'something failed';
var_dump($newHtml);
Output:
string(36) "<body><div>some content</div></body>"
