PHP rest service - php

Question

I'm new to PHP and i'm trying to send this of to a webservice.
<?php
$myID = "8125987";
$myVarible = "This is a test";
$service_url = "https://...?password=123&user=123&storeid=1000&mobile=$myID&message=$myVarible";
$curl = curl_init($service_url);
$result = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
echo $result;
?>
It is not working, what is wrong?
Thanks for any help.

1) Check if your curl function exists first
echo function_exists('curl_version') ? 1:0; // 1 = enabled , 0 =
disabled.
2) Try to access example.com instead of your target url
$url = "http://www.example.com";
3) Print out the curl info and err message before you asked a question
There're lots of CURL examples on the internet, however, I still did one for your reference.

<?php
echo function_exists('curl_version') ? 1:0; // 1 = enabled , 0 = disabled.
echo "<pre>";
$url = "http://www.example.com";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
print_r( curl_getinfo($ch) );
curl_close($ch);
var_dump($result);
echo "</pre>";
?>
