using cURL to get data

I'm still trying to get this simple script to work. I swtiched over to using the cURL library on the reccomendations of others. It still isn't working though. I get no error msg when I load the page, but no data either. x10 has cURL installed, right?

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>

<body>

<h2>Data=</h2>

<?php
// Init $GetData as a cURL object
$GetData = curl_init();
// Tell cURL what URL we want to FTP
$fp = fopen(__FILE__, "r"); 
$url = "ftp://MyFTPusername:MyFTPpassword@Thumbscalp.com/Signal/test.txt"; 
curl_setopt($GetData, CURLOPT_URL, $url);  
// Tell cURL we would like the results as a string instead of just dumping it on the screen
curl_setopt($GetData, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
// Execute the cURL request
$data = curl_exec($GetData);
// Close the cURL request
curl_close($GetData);
// Display the data from the variable to ensure its there.
var_dump($data);
?>

</body>
</html>

Do the script and test.txt exist on different hosts? If not, there's no need for cURL.

Do you have a live test page we can see?

You need to add some error handling. Test whether the result of curl_exec is False. You can use curl_error to get an error messag, but be careful that it doesn't reveal too much information.

Calling an undefined function will result in a fatal error. Unless you've turned off all error reporting, you can be assured the cURL extension is loaded. You can always use extension_loaded to test whether or not an extension is loaded.
