Getting issue while sending request with curl - php

Question

i have a api when i try to send the request via curl i am getting this error
Failed to connect to lasoon.co.in port 80: Connection timed out
$country_id = '101'; // 101 for india
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://lasoon.co.in/location/location_api.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 300);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "ApiType=state&CountryId=".$country_id);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch));
print_r(curl_error($ch));
This is my curl request code. when i send request from localhost its working fine. but when i am testing this on server it giving me same error.

It's likely that the URL you are requesting on the live server is getting altered somehow vs. the one on localhost. The best thing to do is to debug using the following:
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true);
$verbose = fopen('php://temp', 'w+');
curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_STDERR, $verbose);
$result = curl_exec($handle);
rewind($verbose);
$verboseLog = stream_get_contents($verbose);
echo "Verbose information:\n<pre>", htmlspecialchars($verboseLog), "</pre>\n";
This will print an audit trail for your request including the URL that your request is attempting to reach. Inspect that information and you should be able to find the issue. The above code was pulled from here
