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.

use this hitCurl method for fetch all type of api response i.e. Get / Post

        function hitCurl($url,$param = [],$type = 'POST'){
        $ch = curl_init();
        if(strtoupper($type) == 'GET'){
            $param = http_build_query((array)$param);
            $url = "{$url}?{$param}";
        }else{
            curl_setopt_array($ch,[
                CURLOPT_POST => (strtoupper($type) == 'POST'),
                CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => (array)$param,
            ]);
        }
        curl_setopt_array($ch,[
            CURLOPT_URL => $url,
            CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
        ]);
        $resp = curl_exec($ch);
        $statusCode = curl_getinfo($ch,CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        curl_close($ch);
        return [
            'statusCode' => $statusCode,
            'resp' => $resp
        ];
    }

Demo function to test api

 function fetchApiData(){
        $url = 'https://postman-echo.com/get';
        $resp = $this->hitCurl($url,[
            'foo1'=>'bar1',
            'foo2'=>'bar2'
        ],'get');
        $apiData = "Getting header code {$resp['statusCode']}";
        if($resp['statusCode'] == 200){
            $apiData = json_decode($resp['resp']);
        }
        echo "
";
        print_r ($apiData);
        echo "
";
    }
