PHP curl timeout error detection

Question

I use curl to perform a HTTP request like this:

$ch = curl_init();
$timeout = 5;
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1)         


        

Answer 1

you can check error number and its' description like this:

// Check if any error occurred
if(curl_errno($ch))
{
    echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch);
}
