cUrl - how to use proxy?

I have the following code:

<?
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.google.com/');
$data = curl_exec($ch) or die("Curl exe failed");
echo $data;
curl_close($ch);
?>

Code (markup):

It works fine, it returns the google homepage, but if I try and add this line:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, '103.10.110.37:8080');

Code (markup):

IT DOESN'T WORK. Why? Can someone pleeaase help me ? I spend my last 2 hours trying to figure out what the h... is going on.

 

Add curl_timeout, maybe, curl can't connect to that ip.. Make sure it's not blocked by firewall.

 

@Thanks, I'll try what you said.

Anyone any suggestions? Really, no one knows how to do this?

 

I have found a manual, with this example you can download content but you can use this how you need.

Function:

<?php
function getPage($proxy, $url, $referer, $agent, $header, $timeout) {
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, $header);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $referer);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $agent);

$result['EXE'] = curl_exec($ch);
$result['INF'] = curl_getinfo($ch);
$result['ERR'] = curl_error($ch);

curl_close($ch);

return $result;
}
?>


What is each thing?

PHP cURL functions used

• curl_init - initializes a cURL session.
• curl_setopt - sets and option for a cURL transfer.
• curl_exec - performs a cURL session.
• curl_getinfo - gets information about the last transfer.
• curl_error - returns a string containing the last error for the current session.
• curl_close - close a cURL session.

curl_setopt options used

• CURLOPT_URL - the URL to scrap.
• CURLOPT_HEADER - inlude/exclude the header?
• CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER - return the transfer as a string or output it out directly? Use 1, i.e. return.
• CURLOPT_PROXY - the HTTP proxy to tunnel request through.
• CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL - tunnel through a given HTTP proxy? Use 1, i.e. tunnel.
• CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT - it's obvious.
• CURLOPT_REFERER - header to be used in a HTTP request.
• CURLOPT_USERAGENT - "User Agent:" to be used in a HTTP request.

Now, how to call this function?

<?php
$result = getPage(
'[proxy IP]:[port]', // use valid proxy
'http://www.google.com/search?q=twitter',
'http://www.google.com/',
'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032609 Firefox/3.0.8',
1,
5);

if (empty($result['ERR'])) {
// Job's done! Parse, save, etc.
// ...
} else {
// Captcha or network problems?
// ...
}
?>

It's easy, i have tested that and works perfect.
PD: If proxy not works will show you a error, try looking for others proxys and test.

Warfield response looks good, try it and tell us if it works
