CURL function returns null in php

Question

I am trying to fetch some data from my zendesk account as follows:

$ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10 );
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://testing136.zendesk.com/api/v2/users/me.json");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "[email protected]/token:apikey");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
        $output = curl_exec($ch);
        curl_close($ch);
        $decoded = json_decode($output);
        print("Decode ".$decoded);

I have double checked the parameters and data but nothing is returned. I just get Null although I tried to curl in the cmd and it was done successfully.

Any help would be really appreciated.

curl_exec cannot return null. It returns false or, with RETURNTRANSFER enabled, the content. If nothing is returned, use curl_error to find out the problem. — Niels Keurentjes

I would btw if I were you VERY QUICKLY INVALIDATE THAT TOKEN that you copy/pasted in this code before everyone on Stack Overflow starts reading your Gmail. Editing it out here isn't enough since everyone can see the edit history, and about 10000 people can even see deleted topics. — Niels Keurentjes

Could you explain about this and tell how we can improve the webserver to prevent adding this bypass? Anyway it saved my day, thanks a lot.

//Just Remove line no. 267 of application/libraries/REST_Controller.php in Codeigniter

header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($output));
