curl - help

sarmenhb · 07-30-2008, 03:36 AM

im using wamp in php.ini this is what i got

Code:

extension=php_curl.dll

so there is no semicologn in front of that line in php.ini

the code im testing is

Code:

<?php

$ch = curl_init('http://www.google.com'); // the target
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); // return the page
$result = curl_exec($ch); // executing the cURL
curl_close($ch); // Closing connection
echo $result;  

?>

when i run the page nothing shows on the screen. what am i missing here?

Try echoing out any value, if that doesn't show up, then add some text above the <?php sign.

Instead of just echoing the result, check to see if it isn't false first. If it is false, have the script notify you.

Like Aaron said echo out a value before the main cURL part. Also use var_dump on $result and $ch.
