CURL

[richardstan]

I have made sure the curl extension is unchecked in the php.ini file and am using the following code

<?php
    
    if(!($curl = curl_init())){
        print("Unable to initialise CURl resource!");
        exit();
    }
    
    //configure for a post requst to php.net's search engine
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.php.net/search.php');
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'lang=en_US&pattern=Zend API&show=nosource');
    
    //make request
    $results = curl_exec($curl);
    
    print("<pre>");
    print(htmlentities($results));
    print("</pre>");
    
    ?>

When i run the page, all i get is a blank page instead of the webpage that should be printed out.Does anyone know why this wont work? I don't think this is a fatal error as i dont get a HTTP 500 response inside Internet Explorer.

Thanks

Richard.

Add the following to the top of the code and see what error comes out.

 

error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set("display_errors", 1);
