php curl empty response

// Use this example to get the error message if there is one, the
//  result will often be empty if there is an error so it must be handled
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy); // $proxy is ip of proxy server

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);

$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch , CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); // this results 0 every time
