    Hi,
    What's wrong with my code given below, I am trying to send some contact data using CURL.On the web site the "sendmail.php" file will
    recieve data from "contact.php" page.

    <?php
$url = "http://www.somedomain.com/sendmail.php";
$ch = curl_init();    // initialize curl handle
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); // set url to post to
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);// allow redirects
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1); // return into a variable
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 3); // times out after 4s
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); // set POST method
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "txtName=test&txtEmail=needmyhelptoyou@gmail.com&txtSubject=test&txtComments=test"); // add POST fields
$result = curl_exec($ch); // run the whole process
curl_close($ch); 
echo $result;
?>

    echo curl_error($ch); after the curl_exec() call to print the error code received. There is a list of error codes on the libcurl site.

    From looking at your code, I'd allow a lot more time for a timeout than the 3 seconds you've given it. 30 seconds would be more reasonable.
