Curl error: Operation timed out

Question

I have the following fatal error when trying to use Curl:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught HTTP_Request2_MessageException: 
Curl error: Operation timed out after 30000         


        

Answer 1

Your curl gets timed out. Probably the url you are trying that requires more that 30 seconds.

If you are running the script through browser, then set the set_time_limit to zero for infinite seconds.

set_time_limit(0);

Increase the curl's operation time limit using this option CURLOPT_TIMEOUT

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,500); // 500 seconds

It can also happen for infinite redirection from the server. To halt this try to run the script with follow location disabled.

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, false);
