PHP/Curl request is not working - php

Question

phpinfo(); function shows that curl is enabled.
dll statements are also uncommented in the .ini file.
Still the curl request is not working.
<?php
//step1
$cSession = curl_init();
//step2
curl_setopt($cSession,CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.google.com");
curl_setopt($cSession,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true);
curl_setopt($cSession,CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
//step3
$result=curl_exec($cSession);
if(curl_errno($cSession)){
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($cSession);
}
//step4
curl_close($cSession);
//step5
echo $result;
?>
This code shows the error:
Curl error: Failed to connect to 192.168.1.1 port 8080: Timed out

Answer 1

Can you check firewall on that site. I am sure that firewall on that site is blocking traffic to IP address of your server.
Check the DNS resolution as well. Better yet, try to ping 192.168.1.1 from the machine that is not working. Also wget https://192.168.1.1:8080 (from the machine that is not working) will give you detailed error message.

Answer 2

use this code
function curl($url) {
$ch = curl_init(); // Initialising cURL
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); // Setting cURL's URL option with the $url variable passed into the function
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); // Setting cURL's option to return the webpage data
$data = curl_exec($ch); // Executing the cURL request and assigning the returned data to the $data variable
curl_close($ch); // Closing cURL
return $data; // Returning the data from the function
}
