使用PHP的CURL将API的JSON存储到变量

Question

I'm trying to store data exposed with the following URL in a PHP variable ($curl_response) for further manipulation, but my current code is not executing properly. I've copied/pasted the data exposed in the following URL into the body of an HTML file and have tried running the below script on that HTML file, and CURL works properly. I'm guessing the issue then has to do with getting a response correctly from this particular site. Perhaps there is a CURL option I'm overlooking.

http://tdm.prod.obanyc.com/api/pullouts/agency/MTABC/list

Thoughts?

<?php 

$ch = curl_init("http://tdm.prod.obanyc.com/api/pullouts/agency/MTABC/list");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$curl_response = curl_exec($ch);

if ($curl_response === false) {
  $info = curl_getinfo($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
  die('error occured during curl exec. Additioanl info: ' . var_export($info));
}
else echo $curl_response ;

curl_close($ch);

?>

The debugging output is:

array ( 'url' => '', 'content_type' => NULL, 'http_code' => 0, 'header_size' => 0, 'request_size' => 0, 'filetime' => -1, 'ssl_verify_result' => 0, 'redirect_count' => 0, 'total_time' => 63.145232, 'namelookup_time' => 0.006015, 'connect_time' => 0, 'pretransfer_time' => 0, 'size_upload' => 0, 'size_download' => 0, 'speed_download' => 0, 'speed_upload' => 0, 'download_content_length' => -1, 'upload_content_length' => -1, 'starttransfer_time' => 0, 'redirect_time' => 0, 'certinfo' => array ( ), 'primary_ip' => '10.137.36.11', 'primary_port' => 80, 'local_ip' => '', 'local_port' => 0, 'redirect_url' => '', )error occured during curl exec.

Is your else statement in the question the same way it is in the code? If yes, then I would start by fixing the else statement

Change

else $curl_response ;

to

else
{
   $curl_response; // You might want to echo  $curl_response or store it or do something with it. In it's current state it just does nothing.
}
