curl problems

[juschillinnow]

Is this accurate?

            $ch = curl_init("http://www.google.com/index.html");

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

            $fetch_result = curl_exec($ch);

            curl_close($ch);

            echo $fetch_result;

and should it work.

I could have sworn it was working before.
