Php Curl always return True

Question

Php curl always return TRUE. Though data send in request is wrong and at server side its showing error HTTP 400 -Bad request. here, is my sample code. It should have returned FALSE.

 $curl = curl_init($url);

 curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,"PUT");
 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
 curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
 curl_setopt($curl,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$update_para);
 $curl_response = curl_exec($curl);

You have not specfied your url here. May be something wrong in url. — RK12

I'm not sure when exactly curl_exec will return false but when the request is sent and response is returned it's certainly not a failure, so it returns true - as in "I've managed to send the request and got a response". What is the result of the request on the server-side and contents of the response is completely different thing.

Use CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true to capture the response data, and curl_getinfo to get other informations, for example http_code.

When result of curl_exec is false use curl_errno and/or curl_error to examine what went wrong when trying to send a request.
