PHP Curl Help

[abdfahim]

hi experts,

 

Can you please help me finding what wrong i am doing in the following code? The rss.txt file is created, but totally blank. I can see the last message "Done".

 

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
'http://admin.dsebd.org/admin-real/datafile/quotes.txt');
$fp = fopen('rss.txt', 'w');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);
fclose($fp);
echo "done";
?>

 

I am using freehostia for my hosting and its phpinfo shows following info abour CURL

 

curl
cURL support 	enabled
cURL Information 	libcurl/7.11.2 OpenSSL/0.9.7e ipv6 zlib/1.2.2

You never actually write anything to the file. All you do is open and close it. See fwrite.

I am sorry, its my first attempt for using curl ... i tried many tutorials, but it seems Greek to me still

 

Anyway, i thought the following line will write inside the file. If not, can you suggest me how to dload the content of the source text file to the target, any link suggested please?

 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

Dear experts,

 

I am really clueless. The same code works in my laptop (write the url content to rss.txt), but does not work in my server, though CURL is enable in my server also. I cant understand what is missing here.

 

Here is the link to check the phpinfo of my server
