File get content

[teguh123]

To ping pingomatic, I should just surf the get url
echo file_get_contents("http://example.com/ping/?title=blah+blah+blah");

works fine. However when I tried to use curl, it doesn't work.

What should I do? What did I do wrong?

<?
   //require_once ("../tools.php");
   //The code below works perfectly. Now try to do the equivalent with curl
   //echo file_get_contents("http://example.com/ping/?title=blah+blah+blah");

   $ch = curl_init();
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com/ping/?title=blah+blah+blah" );

   //curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://wikipedia.com" );   // This code works fine if I tried to load [url]http://wikipedia.com[/url] instead.

   //curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/1.6");            

   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0");
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1);
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);
   //curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_INTERFACE, $ipUsed);

   //curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE ); // Doesn't work when safemode is on
   curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, TRUE);

   echo curl_exec ($ch );

   //to show you that I know how to use curl let's try to get google.com


   //echo curl_exec ($ch);

?>

Say I do this:

echo file_get_contents("http://example.com/ping/?title=blah+blah+blah");

It works fine.

I want to do the curl version of it.

Can anyone tell me how?

I think I know why.... Pingomatic just need more time to finish.
