title: Simple Issue With cURL
body: <p>i am in the closing stages of an sms application that will send different sms messages to different phone numbers. I will be using an sms gateway and my research led me to use cURL to implement the smpp api of the company that has the gateway. I was doing a test run of cURL on my localhost to see if all went smoothly before i implemented on the application(i wanted it to insert values into a table), but it was not working. So i need help on where i am doing something wrong.Here is my code. Thanks.</p>
  
  <pre><code>include 'sms_connect.php';
  $sql="select name from sms";
  $result=mysqli_query($link,$sql);
  while($row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
  {
     $name=$row['name'];
     $url = "http://localhost/sms/index.php?name=".$name;
     // create a new cURL resource
     $ch = curl_init();
  
     // set URL and other appropriate options
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
     curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
  
     // grab URL and pass it to the browser 
     curl_exec($ch); 
  }
  // close cURL resource, and free up system resources
  curl_close($ch);
  </code></pre>
