Question

I read over 20 related questions on this site, searched in Google but no use. I\'m new to PHP and am using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser to fetch a URL. While this script works

Answer 1

Using cURL you would need to have the CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER option set to true in order to return the body of the request with call to curl_exec like this:

$url = 'http://www.farmersagent.com/Results.aspx?isa=1&name=A&csz=AL';
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// you may set this options if you need to follow redirects. Though I didn't get any in your case
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
$content = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

$html = str_get_html($content);
