Question

Any idea where my code is going wrong…I am trying to connect through a proxy with the curl function in php…I assuming the proxy worked bc I tried a few from this list http://hidemyass.com/proxy-list/search-234921 but cant seem to get any to function correctly…

Thoughts?

function my_fetch($url,$user_agent='Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)')
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $user_agent);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'http://www.google.com/');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '75.74.244.122:1523');
$data = curl_exec();
curl_close($ch);
return $result;
}

It doesn’t look like the proxy you are using is working:

jasonfunk@jasonfunk-laptop:$ telnet 75.74.244.122 1523
Trying 75.74.244.122...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
