$_POST via cURL not working - php

Question

Im trying my hand at using curl to post some data, I am not reciving my post content and can not find the source of the problem
curl.php
<?php
$data = array("user_email" => "22" , "pass" => "22" );
$string = http_build_query($data);
$ch = curl_init("http://localhost:8888/290_project/test.php"); //this is where post data goes too, also starts curl
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch) //ends curl
?>
test.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['user_email'], $_POST['pass'])) {
$name = $_POST['user_email'];
$pass = $_POST['pass'];
echo $name;
echo $pass;
} else {
echo "error";
} ?>
Every time I get my error response meaning the post data is not going through. I have tried everything I could think of to trouble shoot;I must be over looking something I am simply not yet familiar with?

Please set CURLOPT_URL to http://localhost:8888.....
<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost:8888/290_project/test.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $string);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_exec($ch);
if(!curl_errno($ch)){
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
} else {
echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close($ch) //ends curl
?>
With curl_getinfo() - Gets information about the last transfer.
For more detail read below link:- http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-getinfo.php
I have edited the answer, The reason for error is not curl.
http_build_query($data, '', '&');

Following is working example. Please try this.
$postData = array(
'user_name' => 'abcd',
'password' => 'asdfghj',
'redirect' => 'yes',
'user_login' => '1'
);
$url='http://localhost:8888/290_project/test.php';
$ch = curl_init();
//Set the URL to work with
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
// ENABLE HTTP POST
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
//Set the post parameters
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postData);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
//execute the request
$store = curl_exec($ch);
print_r($store);
curl_close($ch)

You have an error in your php code:
edit:
if(isset($_POST['user_email'], $_POST['pass'])) {
to:
if(isset($_POST['user_email']) && isset($_POST['pass'])) {
