        'address' => $_POST['address']

);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

You need to send it as a query (i.e ?address=ADDRESS_HERE&fields..) - http_build_query() — Darren

try to send your post data as a query string

$str = '';
foreach($data as $key => $val){
  $str.= $key.'='.$val.'&';
}
rtrim($str,'&');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $str);

or

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'address='.$_POST['address']);

or

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query($data));

According comment error you need code:-

<?php 
$address = "Capitol Avenue, Elsmere, Kentucky"; 
$address = str_replace(" ", "+", $address); 
$address_url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json";
$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $address_url.'?address='.$address); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0); 
echo $response = curl_exec($ch);
print_r(curl_getinfo($ch)); 
curl_close($ch); 
$response_a = json_decode($response); ?>

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,"http://www.example.com/post.php");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
            "address=$_POST['address']");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

$server_output = curl_exec ($ch);

curl_close ($ch);
