You don't need to send URL twice

<?php 
$url=$_POST['txturl'];
$ch = curl_init();//I have removed it from here
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);// This will do
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
echo $output;
curl_close($ch); 
?>

Check if you really have cURL Installed

<?php
echo function_exists('curl_version')?'Yes':'No';
?>

Try this code <?php phpinfo(); ?> , ctrl+F and type 'curl' and see if it is enabled.

Also add this on top of your PHP code, maybe your error reporting is off. <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
