Just to clarify:
Spaces in the URL need to be replaced with a %20.
Spaces in the querystring need to be replaced with a +

curl_init() has undefined behavior if you pass 'false' to it and can crash when you try to copy the resulting handle using curl_copy_handle(). Keep this in mind if you create a wrapper object for CURL.

Curl_init as well as CURLOPT_URL don't like to have static strings as parameter.
I came across this by accident and it took me very long to find out. curl_exec will throw error 3 (Malformed) and you tipple check the URL in it's variable only to find by trial and error that it's declaration is the culprit.
So never do this:
static $someurl = "http://www.example.com/interfacce.php";
....
$ch=curl_init($someurl);
....
$return=curl_exec($ch);

For some reason on some webservers it may not be able to understand what cURL is doing. If you're getting unexpected results (like getting no output when the URL is valid) while using curl_init(). Add a trailing slash '/' after the url if you haven't done so already.

e.g. you can check how many characters are on test_1.php
or you can it use for more, i have used this function for a nagios check.
<?PHP
echo "CURL - function test <br>" ;
if ($load == 1){
function webcheck ($url) {
$ch = curl_init ($url) ;
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1) ;
$res = curl_exec ($ch) ;
curl_close ($ch) ;
return ($res) ;
}
echo "url = $url <br>" ;
$erg = webcheck("my_page.php/test_1.php") ;
$zahl = strlen ($erg) ;
echo "length = $zahl " ;
?>
