Php curl_exec returns empty

 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy); // $proxy is ip of proxy server
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
 $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch , CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); // this results 0 every time
 echo '<br> curl'.$ch; //this line outputs resource id#5
 $exec = stripslashes(curl_exec($ch)); 
 echo '<br> exec'.curl_exec($ch); //this results blank

I am confused as to why $ exec returns nothing, I am new to curl please help, thanks in advance

curl_exec will return false

if the request failed. Set your function to this:

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy); // $proxy is ip of proxy server
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);

$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch , CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); // this results 0 every time
$response = curl_exec($ch);

if ($response === false) 
    $response = curl_error($ch);

echo stripslashes($response);

curl_close($ch);


So you will see the curl error

Returning a result of 0 means that you cannot connect to the server, so please check your proxy and increase the timeout :)

Try:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 50);

Perhaps the answer is longer than 10.

I had the same problem, I solved it like this.

You are trying to access the HTTP response code before actually making the HTTP call. Cancel execution like this:

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch , CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); // this results 0 every time
