Wrong parameter count for curl_exec()

[SteveRD]

Hi folks,

I'm using the following code to retrieve an external RSS file on a webhost that doesn't support fopen().

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'http://64.202.165.130:3128');
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.rollingstone.com/rssxml/music_news.xml');
$data = curl_exec();
curl_close($ch);

I get a webpage error:

Warning: Wrong parameter count for curl_exec() in ... on line 62

which corresponds to

$data = curl_exec();

I've been told my my web host the only way to grab an external file:

You will need to use our proxy server in order to grab data from an
external website, and only if that site uses port 80 or 443. If you are
using cURL, here's the script to do so:

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, http://64.202.165.130:3128);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

I've simply added:

curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.rollingstone.com/rssxml/music_news.xml');

as the fifth parameter.

I can't find mention of "Wrong parameter count for curl_exec" using a Google search.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Steve

How many arguments does curl_exec() expect?

PHP site http://au3.php.net/curl doesn't say.

[clamcrusher]

look at the example in the manual.
the problem is with curl_exec(), so you would look at the page for that function to learn more about how to use it.
