Question

My curl request is..

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_INTERFACE,$proxy);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_PORT, '8888');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET"); 
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, $proxyauth);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
pr($ch);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $result;

It seems that your curl client is getting some response from server that it can not understand, Error#12 means: CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_USER_REPLY

here is the PHP Manual link: http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-errno.php

and description of error: http://web.mit.edu/jhawk/mnt/ss.b/curl-7.10.5/docs/libcurl/libcurl-errors.html

You can use curl_error to capture the error How to catch curl errors in PHP

Other thing to consider here is your proxy, is it allowed to access the host and port you are trying to access and you access the host without proxy?

did you try connecting to host directly? is there any IP restriction on host you are trying to connect ? – Ravish Jan 06 '17 at 11:50
I'm scraping amazon, and when first did scraping i did't know that more than one requests in second block your IP address, in my case request more than 20 times and amazon block my IP address and show Robot Check, impossible to skip it – Muhammad Awais Zulifqar Jan 06 '17 at 11:52
trying adding a delay, if you are making frequent hits, they'll block your IP for sure – Ravish Jan 06 '17 at 13:32

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY (8)

The server sent data libcurl couldn't parse. This error code is used for more than just FTP and is aliased as CURLE_WEIRD_SERVER_REPLY since 7.51.0.

CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED (9)

We were denied access to the resource given in the URL. For FTP, this occurs while trying to change to the remote directory.

CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED (10)

While waiting for the server to connect back when an active FTP session is used, an error code was sent over the control connection or similar.

CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_PASS_REPLY (11)

After having sent the FTP password to the server, libcurl expects a proper reply. This error code indicates that an unexpected code was returned.

CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT (12)

During an active FTP session while waiting for the server to connect, the CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS (or the internal default) timeout expired.
