cURL is driving me crazy please help

[papaface]

Hey,

 

I am about to go insane so please can someone come to my aid lol.

 

My code:

function download($url)
{
$curl = curl_init();

if($curl)
{
     if( !curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url) ) return "FAIL: curl_setopt(CURLOPT_URL)";
     if( !curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, array("Accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html,;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5", "Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5", "Connection: keep-alive", "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070625 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/3.0.0.7", "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7", "Keep-Alive: 300")) ) return "FAIL: curl_setopt(CURLOPT_HEADER)";
 $ret = curl_exec($curl);
     if( !$ret ) return "FAIL: curl_exec()";
     curl_close($curl);

if	(strpos($ret, "Payment Required") > 0)
	{ 
	return "Payment is required <br />";
	}
else
	{
	return $ret;
	}
}
else return "FAIL: curl_init()";
}

Sample of cURL output:

HTTP/1.1 402 Payment Required Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2009

Why would that show when I am asking it to return "Payment is required <br />" if the $ret var contains the string "Payment Required"?

 

Any help would be appreciated
