    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=Clean%20Bandit%20-%20Rather%20Be&entity=song&limit=10&lang=fr_fr');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    if(curl_errno($ch))
        echo 'Curl error: '.curl_error($ch);
    $CurResult = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

    echo 'Result:'.$CurResult;

Maybe because of curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); Makes your request a post, and it should be a get right? — Mathijs Segers

Could you try commenting the line I mentioned? i"m not sure but that's the main difference between the browser and the CURL request in this case — Mathijs Segers

i removed curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); but still empty result. — Sunil Dabhi

$url = 'https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=Clean%20Bandit%20-%20Rather%20Be&entity=song&limit=10&lang=fr_fr';
$content = file_get_contents($url);
print_r($content);

Use this code to get the response curl is not needed in this case

from php manual

curl_errno()

does not return true or false, it returns error number 0, if no errors. so you either change the condition to

if(curl_errno($ch)!=0)

or use curl_error()

if(curl_error($ch)!=''){
    echo "error: ".curl_error($ch);
}

unless 0 is auto casted to boolean (false), not sure but it worth a try
