Getting HTTP code in PHP using curl

Question

I\'m using CURL to get the status of a site, if it\'s up/down or redirecting to another site. I want to get it as streamlined as possible, but it\'s not working well.

function getStatusCode()
{
    $url = 'example.com/test';
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);    // we want headers
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_NOBODY, true);    // we don't need body
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT,10);
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    $httpcode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($ch);

    return  $httpcode;
}
print_r(getStatusCode());
