PHP is old on your server.

From the manual: (PHP 5 >= 5.5.0)

Answer 2

My PHP version is 5.3 so i was not able to use curl_reset() function.

Solution

I was using curl_reset() function for getting response of multiple curl request. So i have removed curl_reset() and used

curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1);
curl_setopt($curl_handle, CURLOPT_POST, false);

Problem was after post request my get request was not giving response when i have set curl_post to false to my request it works well.

Conclusion: Its important keep calling setopt to switch between GET and POST request when you are using multiple curl request.
