hey man r u kidding ? if you can answer my Q please do that , and if you can't please get out of my question page :D okay ?

I don't get it, POST variable was empty because you made a mistake with method. Have you tried it again? And... no one can answer you question because there isn't any :)

it just a mistake of spelling ok ? in my original source there is no spelling error ! thanks.

curl_exec() returns boolean FALSE if the exec failed for any reasons. Instead of just returning your $returndata, test it first:

...
$returndata = curl_exec($crl);
if ($returndata === FALSE) {
   die('Curl failed: ' . curl_error($crl));
}
return($returndata);

Since you only echo out this value, you'd never see it, as boolean false will output as a null/empty string.

Try a few curl_getinfo() calls on the $crl handle after you do the exec(), details on the options here: php.net/curl_getinfo. See what state the handle is in after it finishes off. Maybe something hinky with the script or the server.
