cURL + HTTP_POST, keep getting 500 error. Has no idea?

Question

Okay, I want to make a HTTP_POST using cURL to a SSL site. I already imported the certificate to my server. This is my code:

$url  = "https://www.xxx.xxx";
$post = "";# all data that going to send

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0'); 

$exe  = curl_exec($ch);
$getInfo = curl_getinfo($ch);

if ($exe === false) {
    $output = "Error in sending";
    if (curl_error($ch)){
        $output .= "\n". curl_error($ch);
    }
} else if($getInfo['http_code'] != 777){
    $output = "No data returned. Error: " . $getInfo['http_code'];
    if (curl_error($ch)){
        $output .= "\n". curl_error($ch);
    }
}

curl_close($ch);

echo $output;

It keep returned "500". Based on w3schools, 500 means Internal Server Error. Is my server having problem? How to solve/troubleshoot this?

Answer 1

You have something wrong inside your server or the script executed on the server which, maybe, throw an unhandled exception.

You should check the server's access and error logs.

Answer 2

$url  = "https://www.xxx.xxx";
$post = "";# all data that going to send

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT    5.0'); 

$exe  = curl_exec($ch);
$getInfo = curl_getinfo($ch);

if ($exe === false) {
$output = "Error in sending";
if (curl_error($ch)){
    $output .= "\n". curl_error($ch);
}
} else if($geInfo['http_code'] != 777){        //here $geInfo should be $getInfo
$output = "No data returned. Error: " . $geInfo['http_code'];//as preline
if (curl_error($ch)){
    $output .= "\n". curl_error($ch);
}
}

curl_close($c);  //$c should be $ch

echo $output;

BTW: Make sure that CURL moduel is installed.
