How to access onion sites from php curl? [duplicate]

Question

I use this code:

$this->curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13'); curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 60); curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, '127.0.0.1:9050'); curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_SOCKS5); curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($this->curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://some-onion-site.onion"); $contents = curl_exec($this->curl);

It's returns nothing instantly. Tor is working normally, and site is accessible from tor browser. Edit: I've found that it can't resolve host ("Couldn't resolve host name" error).

@Pekka웃 I've edited the question. It can't resolve the hostname. — artem

Well, I've found out that I need to set proxy type to CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, 7);

It works fine.
