php + curl issue Resource id # 2 on curl_init

Question

php + curl issue Resource id # 2 on curl_init:

 $url = "https://example.com:4433/deviceservice/authorize?login=query"; // URL JSON $ch = curl_init($url); echo $ch; //write Resource id # 2 if( $ch ) { curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, TRUE); $json = curl_exec( $ch ); $json = json_decode($json); } else { echo 'nothing'; }

What am I doing wrong?

If you are not on a host with SSL so you should bypass the SSL verification

<?php $url = "https://example.com:4433/deviceservice/authorize?login=query"; $ch = curl_init($url); echo $ch; //write Resource id # 2 if( $ch ) { curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE); $json = curl_exec( $ch ); $json = json_decode($json); } else { echo 'nothing'; }

Thank you. I've been trying to fix cURL on my WAMP local server. I thought it was not loading at all, I installed plenty of different versions, tried various fixes but nothing worked. Then I realized the curl_init function worked, only the rest didn't. It was the SSL verification issue. You saved me hours.
Saved me, my server now is sending correctly to skebby SMS gateway

Try to use curl_error($ch) and echo to diagnose the error

$ch= curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 30); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); ) ); $response = curl_exec($ch); $err_status = curl_error($ch); echo $err_status; curl_close($ch);

curl_init returns a cURL handle on success, FALSE on errors. So echo $ch; will return something like Resource id #2.

See http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-init.php

You have to try something like this

$url = "https://example.com:4433/deviceservice/authorize?login=query"; // URL JSON $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, TRUE); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, TRUE); $json = curl_exec( $ch ); $json = json_decode($json); curl_close($ch); if(empty($json)){ echo 'nothing'; }
