    <p>I have written the following function, which was code I used somewhere else and modified slightly to work as a function (using $url in function parameters):</p> <pre><code>function curl2str($url) { $cURL = curl_init($url); curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($cURL, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5); $data = curl_exec($cURL); curl_close($cURL); return $data; } </code></pre> <p>I simply want a function to return a URL into a string, for a quick and easy API. The URL I am passing it is valid and works fine when I put it into a browser. I am calling it like so:</p> <p><code>&lt;?=curl2str("**valid URL here**");?&gt;</code></p> <p>For some reason it is just returning false. What am I doing wrong?</p> <p><strong>update</strong> When I put this questions URL into as <code>$url</code>, I get a response. But when I use my custom URL, which works fine in the browser, and simply display's a list of files in the directory, I get bool:false.</p> <p><strong>update 2</strong> It would seem that any domain works fine, apart from the one that I am trying to access. It just so happens that this is a root domain on the same server, I am running this script from a subdomain, but because of basedir_restrictions I cannot access a folder from the subdomain. So I wrote a little php to get the contents of the folder, and output it to the browser as a serialized array (JSON is not installed). But I cannot get a response from this root domain at all. It works fine in the browser, just not in cURL. And everything else works fine in cURL.</p> <p>:(</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
