Question

I have a problem working with

curl_getinfo

I have already checked the php.ini for curl extension and everything seems to be fine and inside phpinfo();, curl is enable so I know that It shouldn’t have any problem.

This function runs fine in my web server. It is my local machine with XAMPP 1.7.7 that gives me a hard time. Could this be because of firwall settings of my laptop?

Please note that the jpg file exists inside the Amazon s3 URL and I have checked the Amazon URL on the browser and it shows the image…

/////////////////// Edited //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

here is my code which is a function or method inside a class:

public function pictureExistence($id){

    $url = AMAZON_S3_URL . $id . '.jpg';

    //var_dump($url);
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);
    curl_exec($ch);
    //var_dump($ch);
    $code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    //var_dump($code);

    if($code == 200){
        $status = true;
    }else{
        $status = false;
    }
    curl_close($ch);
    return $status;
}

Try the following code and check whether it’s working for you. It has been tested to work fine on XAMPP 1.7.7 .

 <?php
    // Create a curl handle
    $ch = curl_init('http://www.yahoo.com/');

    // Execute
    curl_exec($ch);

    // Check if any error occured
    if(!curl_errno($ch))
    {
     $info = curl_getinfo($ch);

     echo 'Took ' . $info['total_time'] . ' seconds to send a request to ' . $info['url'];
    }

    // Close handle
    curl_close($ch);
    ?>
