php curl_exec function hangs and end with error 500

Question

I have a curl request, it working fine in my localhost, I have uploaded it to server but it hangs and end with error 500 internal server error. If remove the line echo $output = curl_exec($ch); It works fine.

$url = "https://someserver.com/api/";
$username = "some_user";
$password = "some_apss";
if(!extension_loaded('curl')){
    die("Curl extension not loaded");
}
if(!function_exists('curl_init')){
    die("curl_init not found");
}

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$username:$password");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);     
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2); 
echo $output = curl_exec($ch);
$info = curl_getinfo($ch);
curl_close($ch);`

of course it works if you remove the echo $output = curl_exec($ch); part, because the request is not executed anymore. check the server you are making the request to in a browser and see if it works — Vlad Balmos

@MiqdadAli Does it work when you access the same url in a browser? — Vlad Balmos

It's a server side issue. Not this script's fault.

Doesn't really matter, the error is server-side. You won't find anything in this script. Check the error logs from the server.

It maybe that the curl extension installed on the server with the script isn't compiled with ssl support. Execute the folowing code on the server and post back the results:

<?php
    $version = curl_version();
    $ssl_supported= ($version['features'] & CURL_VERSION_SSL);
    echo $ssl_supported == CURL_VERSION_SSL;

it should output 1. if not you have to install the ssl suport for curl
