How to use curl to retrieve data from a php file?

i have a test.php file that will hold a facebook app (iframe based php).

I also have a dev environement where all my files go before they are commited to live.

What i want to do is create a curl page on the live server that will be seen by facebook and that curl page will pull the data from my test.php page that sits on the dev

i have been trying but i get Authorization Required:

/* gets the data from a URL */
function get_data($url)
{
  $ch = curl_init();
  $timeout = 5;
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
  $data = curl_exec($ch);
  curl_close($ch);
  return $data;
}

$returned_content = get_data('http://dev.xxx.com/test.php');

echo $returned_cont开发者_开发问答ent ;

any ideas on how to accomplish that?

Thanks

Okay, that is specific error. If you need facebook authorization, you must look at Facebook API for authorization methods. If you are getting HTTP authorization error, you may use apropriate CURL options: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

Do you really need curl?

Live:

<?php readfile('http://your.dev.server.example.com/test.php');?>

Try using the file_get_contents function
