How to fetch values in a url using curl?

Question

I want to fetch values from a url along with some parameters.I use the following code

$ch = curl_init("http://www.xzxxz.ca/api/Listing.svc/PropertySearch_Post?ApplicationId=1&BathRange=0-0&BedRange=0-0&CultureId=1&CurrentPage=1&LatitudeMax=60.500524687194485&LatitudeMin=56.46248967233933&LongitudeMax=-27.4658203125&LongitudeMin=-145.5029296875&MaximumResults=9&ParkingSpaceRange=0-0&PriceMax=0&PriceMin=0&PropertyTypeId=300&RecordsPerPage=9&SortBy=1&SortOrder=A&TransactionTypeId=2&viewState=m&cookiecheck=1");
$fp = fopen("collected.txt", "w");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
fclose($fp);

while using this code '405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed.' is shown.Is this due to the .svc file format or mistake in parameters passing?

If you copy and paste the URL directly into a web browser, do you get the same error or does it work? — phansen

This is not data-mining (no statistical analysis happening here). It's not even web-scraping yet, but curl and http, actually. (You are doing a POST, the web site only allows a GET) — Has QUIT--Anony-Mousse

It sounds like the remote web server is refusing the connection because you are trying to POST data to it.

Try removing the following line...

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

This should change the HTTP method from POST to GET.

It sounds like your problem is most likely something to do the the server your posting to and not your PHP code.
