Strange Curl problem

I am trying to get content from Bing Cache url. $bingurl is the url of the bing cache page. I echo $bingurl, it echos

http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?d=489...763&w=4da51025

it means the url is correct. So I use

PHP Code:


		
			
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $bingurl);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
$satir = curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch);
preg_match_all('#<h1(.*?)</h1>#si', $satir, $soru2);

echo $soru[1][0];

But it doesnt get the content, however, if I use the code within like that,

PHP Code:


		
			

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?d=4893209150818763&w=4da51025");

It works. What the hell ? :D

And the only difference is that you use a hard-coded string versus a variable? If that's the case, are you entirely sure that the variable contains what you think it contains?

Yes, the same. I echod it to correct it, and corrected it. Maybe the problem occurs because of the special characters like "&" or "=" ? I did urlencode() and urldecode() , but nothing changed.

Can i see how u use the variable? I mean , $bingurl variable .
