cURL scraping not working, file_get_contents working

[Nuv]

Why won't my curl code not give any output, however if i use $data = file_get_contents($url); and var_dump it, i get the result. Any guesses ? . Thankyou in advance.

 

cURL code :

 

   $get_EAN = '5999883271933';
   $ch = curl_init();
   $url = "http://www.guAAAenstiger.de/Katalog/Suche/".$get_EAN.".html"; // Remove the 3 Capital AAA's in the url, doing this to avoid indexing with that site url
      
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'spider');
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, 1);
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_BINARYTRANSFER, 1);
       
   $get_choice = curl_exec ($ch);
   curl_close ($ch);
   
   echo "<pre>";
   var_dump($get_choice);
   echo "</pre>";

 

Output:

 

string(0) ""

Try setting your header to true and see if you have any content being returned.

I tested the the URL and noticed it's a redirect. By default cURL doesn't follow redirect, so please add that option first.
