Check your error logs to determine the error and report back. — cmorrissey, Oct 25 '13 at 20:53

@user1777711 There's obviously something wrong with the `kissanime.com` domain because I replaced the URL with Google's and it worked fine (code). — Funk Forty Niner, Oct 25 '13 at 21:08
@Fred-ii- But i can access it using my computer but not by php curl — user1777711, Oct 26 '13 at 05:31

EDIT:

Ok, this was bugging me so figured out a fix.

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://kissanime.com/Anime/Karneval');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'myuseragent'); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.test.com");
$html = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $html;

This code works and fixed the redirect errors I was getting. Happy content grabbing.

But the original page content is not Object moved to here. If you try access by your window its different. – user1777711 Oct 26 '13 at 05:20

although reason could be different but my code (similar to yours) works fine so just append these lines into yours at appropriate places,

$useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; nl; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7";
                 curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true);
                    curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
                    curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 5);
                    curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
                    curl_setopt($s, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

The response should not be Object move to here, if you access using your computer, the response is different. – user1777711 Oct 26 '13 at 05:26

Use file() instead of file_get_contents()

$url = "http://kissanime.com/Anime/Karneval";
$data = file($url);

echo htmlspecialchars($data);
