CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER set to true doesnt work on hosting server

Question

I m trying to process result from  data   curl exec  ch   instead of printing it on the screen  In order to achieve that I set the option CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER to true like this   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  1   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  true   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  TRUE     On my local server this works as expected but when I put the same file online on my server it doesn t work    When I set CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER to false it works   What am I doing wrong

If you set CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER to true or 1 then the return value from curl exec will be the actual result from the successful operation  In other words it will not return TRUE on success  Although it will return FALSE on failure   As described in the Return Values section of curl-exec PHP manual page  http   php net manual function curl-exec php  You should enable the CURLOPT FOLLOWLOCATION option for redirects but this would be a problem if your server is in safe mode and or open basedir is in effect which can cause issues with curl as well

If it works fine on your local environment  probably your remote server s IP is being blocked by the server at the target URL you ve set for cURL to use  You need to verify that your remote server is allowed to access the URL you ve set for CURLOPT URL

Just try this line   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT SSL VERIFYPEER  false     after   curl setopt  ch  CURLOPT RETURNTRANSFER  true
