Hello, am new to nginx and i can`t get cURL script to work … it always returns blank page with no error. here is the code :

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors',1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors',1);
error_reporting(-1);

$url = 'http://ntsoft.co';
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);

Seems like a lot of syntax errors :D heres a working code

<?php
 
function curl_download($Url){
  
    if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
        die('cURL is not installed. Install and try again.');
    }
  
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    $output = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
  
    return $output;
}
 
print curl_download('http://ntsoft.co');
 
?>
