CURL multiple times - php

Question

$hotel_query = "select hotel_id,hotel_name,trip_url,automatic_status from hotels where automatic_status='0'";
$hotel_result = mysql_query($hotel_query) or die(mysql_error());
while($hotel_row = mysql_fetch_object($hotel_result))
{
$url=$hotel_row->trip_url;
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo curl_error($ch);
echo $result;
}
The above code is running via cron job in php.There are 5 trip_url in hotels table. It means curl should execute 5 times and return result from server 5 times but
but when I run this only one result is printed and stop executing.

Give this a try:
<?php
function curl_download($Url){
// is cURL installed yet?
if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
die('Sorry cURL is not installed!');
}
// OK cool - then let's create a new cURL resource handle
$ch = curl_init();
// Now set some options (most are optional)
// Set URL to download
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
// Set a referer
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.example.org/yay.htm");
// User agent
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
// Include header in result? (0 = yes, 1 = no)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// Should cURL return or print out the data? (true = return, false = print)
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// Timeout in seconds
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
// Download the given URL, and return output
$output = curl_exec($ch);
// Close the cURL resource, and free system resources
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}
$loop_counter = 1;
$hotel_query = "select hotel_id,hotel_name,trip_url,automatic_status from hotels where automatic_status='0'";
$hotel_result = mysql_query($hotel_query) or die(mysql_error());
while($hotel_row = mysql_fetch_object($hotel_result)){
$url=$hotel_row->trip_url;
echo "Loop no.".$loop_counter."<br />";
echo curl_download($url);
$loop_counter++;
}
?>
The CURL code is from here
