cURL Error when using CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION

Question

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/public_html/curl.php on line

Trying to use curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE); but I'm getting this error. How can I overcome it?

Answer 1

This is because your setup has either safe mode or open_basedir settings in the php.ini.

You need to change these settings in the php.ini to do this.

Answer 2

Try adding

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
