cURL https connection

[badboy]

I want to post via HTTPS to a server using cURL.
The following code works but I'm not able to read the server's response !
is curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); the correct code for reading the server's response ?

Can anyone help ?

    $URL="secure.server/transact.dll"; 
    $fielpost="userID=testing";

    $ch = curl_init(); 

   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"https://$URL"); 
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "$fielpost"); 
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
   curl_exec ($ch); 
   $result = curl_exec ($ch);
   curl_close ($ch); 

Many thanks,
Badboy
