Google doesn't like my WAMP server. Anyone have any ideas? - php

Question

Alright I'm at the end of the rope here. I've tried just about everything to try to get this working. I've done Google OAUTH API calls before on web hosts and everything works great, but when I use the same scripts on my WAMP server, google does not reply to my cURL posts. I've tested cURL post by posting to my own server as well as to this server someone set up:
http://www.newburghschools.org/testfolder/dump.php
And it works just fine. Here's the script I'm using after I get the user to allow my application:
<?
//This script handles the response from google. If the user as authed the app, it will continue the process by formulating another URL request to Google to get the users information. If there was an error, it will simply redirect to index.
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/../src/php/google/initialize.php");
if (!isset($_GET['error'])) {
//No error found, formulate next HTTP post request to get our auth token
//Set URL and get our data encoded for POST
$url = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/token";
$fields = array(
'code' => $_GET['code'],
'client_id' => $google['clientID'],
'client_secret' => $google['clientSecret'],
'redirect_uri' => "http://www.dealertec.com/scripts/php/google/reg_response.php",
'grant_type' => "authorization_code"
);
//$data = http_build_query($fields);
$data = "code=".$fields['code'].'&client_id='.$fields['client_id'].'&client_secret='.$fields['client_secret'].'&redirect_uri='.$fields['redirect_uri'].'&grant_type='.$fields['grant_type'];
echo $data."<br> /";
//Begin cURL function
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$response = curl_exec($ch);
echo $response;
curl_close($ch);
//Decode the JSON and use it to make a request for user information
print_r($response);
$response = json_decode($response, true);
/*if (!isset($response['error'])) {
//No error in response, procede with final step of acquiring users information
$apiURL = "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/userinfo?access_token=".$response['access_token'];
$apiCall = curl_init($apiURL);
curl_setopt($apiCall, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($apiCall, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
$apiResponse = curl_exec($apiCall);
$apiResponse = json_decode($apiResponse, true);
var_dump($apiResponse);
}else{
echo $response['error'];
}*/
}else{
header("LOCATION: http://www.dealertec.com/");
}
?>
When I echo out what is supposed to be the google response, all I get is a singular "/". When I run this same exact script on my webhost, after changing back the DNS IP, it works fine. I'm thinking either Google doesn't like my WAMP server and won't even talk to it, or perhaps it's something with my cURL configuration. It's only a minor annoyance not being able to develop for Google API on my WAMP server, but if anyone has any ideas whatsoever, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I was getting a FALSE coming back from curl_exec(), but this is how I fixed it:
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

hope this helps!
