$murl=$u1.$u2;

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $murl);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
/*curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $u2);
*/$response = curl_exec($ch);
print "Respons : $response";
curl_close($ch);

Answer 1

Change your code to this. Should work:

FROM

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $murl);

TO

$ch = curl_init($murl);

You can set the URL in the curl_init function as well.

Answer 2

You can also omit curl with $response = file_get_contents($murl) if you don't need server side header answers. Check also http_build_query().

Answer 3

Perhaps you need to set a user agent. The service you're using could be blocking the default user agent:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'SMS Gateway Agent/1.0'); // Pick something creative, or use a browser UA

Hope this helps!
