(PHP) Getting Blank Page with Curl (Mytischtennis) - php

Question

I´m new to php and trying to program a few things.
In the first step I want to show the following page: "https://www.mytischtennis.de/public/home" on my website. I am using Curl to grab the page. But every time I want to output the page I am getting a blank page.
My code looks like this:
<?php
function grab_page($site){
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/24.0.1312.52 Safari/537.17');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 40);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookie.txt");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $site);
ob_start();
return curl_exec($ch);
ob_end_clean();
curl_close($ch);
}
echo grab_page("https://www.mytischtennis.de/public/home");
echo "hallo";
?>
With other pages this code works. Only for "https://www.mytischtennis.de/public/home" it wont work for me?
Can someone help me why i get only with this site a blank page?
Thank you :)

You need to set two more options in your curl request:
// Add some more headers here if you need to
$headers = [
"Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br"
];
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
// Decode the response automatically when needed
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
After this you will get the page you want.
