If from application not getting success code. tried doing the same from command line window by writing curl -k -v --url >> and then the url.. The error which i got is shown in the above snippet. — DKingKumar

Should you be URL encoding your URL? Perhaps that may help, in case of dodgy characters being passed? — Michael Giovanni Pumo

tried by passing curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,urlencode($url)); Getting error could not resolve hostname — DKingKumar

You need to add this

EDITED :

curl_setopt( $ch ,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');

Tried with all these : $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,urlencode($str1)); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); curl_setopt( $ch , CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION ,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER ,0); // DO NOT RETURN HTTP HEADERS curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER ,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE, false ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT, 2 ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 );

@KmrGtm, why are you using HTTGET,1 and POST,1 in the same code ? How would that be supposed to work ?

DKingKumar Over a year ago

@ Shankar I tried them in different scripts one by one .. getiing same result.. tried by passing curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,urlencode($url)); Getting error could not resolve hostname –

@KmrGtm, Nope don't do urlencode. Seems like you are sending data via GET, so try my edited answer above. More importantly, don't remove the RETURNTRANSFER parameter , it is required.

Thanks @ Sankar .. Actually i figured out some more errors .Original PHP Code , which i tried earlier is also correct and working fine .. But the Real prob is : My php file is in Webserver. If iam calling the php file from the webserver itself using this command " php url.php " , its running fine . But in the real scenario , i want to call the php file from a Application server . That is what is creating problem. Any recommendation ?
