curl doesn't work in browser
Hi

I need once again you help guys,
I have a php script that should call and url on the local-server, when i call the script from the browser it just prints the $str and it doesn't call the url, but when i execute the script from the shell (php sentdata.php) it works.
I checked the apache logs and there are not errors.

My server details are:
PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Apr 27 2010 17:55:02)
Zend Engine v2.3.0
Linux xxxxxxxxxxx 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:25:57 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)
Server built: Apr 10 2010 11:21:07


PHP Code:
<?php
$user     = urlencode('user');
$password = urlencode('pass');
$var1  = urlencode('zzzzzz');
$var2 = urlencode('yyyyyy');
$var3 = urlencode('xxxxx');




$str= "?username=".$user."&password=".$password."&var1=".$var1."&var2=".$var2."&var3=".$var3;

print $str;

 $ch=curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'http://localhost:12812/cgi-bin/incomming'.$str);
 curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);
?>
Thanks in advance

Try checking the return values of curl_setopt, curl_exec, etc. They may tell you what is or isn't happening.

...or use the curl_error($ch) function to return any possible error.

I tried that but it is still the same on shell the scripts works but not when i run it from the browser.

this is the output from my script it is the same as in the shell.

HTML Code:
Array
(
    [url] => http://localhost:12812/cgi-bin/incomming?username=user&password=pass&var1=zzzzz&var2=yyyyyy&var3=xxxxx

Nothing returns any error messages in the browser? What were the return values of the various functions I reccomended checking the output of?

Its strange for my why it is not working in the browser, it works when i execute it from the shell, this means that the script is okay.
Is it possible that this is more related to the apache permissions?

There must be an warning/error message somewhere. Make sure the PHP error reporting is set to a appropriate value like E_ALL:

PHP Code:
error_reporting(E_ALL); 
Add the http return header switch to curl:

PHP Code:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);
echo curl_error($ch);
