curl_exec() expects parameter 1, sting is given

I was using file_get_content like this earlier
if($html = @DOMDocument::loadHTML(file_get_contents($url))) {.. }

but switching to curl as it's more secure, but I got error 

curl_exec() expects parameter 1, sting is given

My code

    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

    $html = curl_exec($url);
    curl_close($ch);

      if($html) {

          $xpath = new DOMXPath($html);
..
..

}

The error is saying that you are giving string to curl_exec , give it the curl handle. Use the code below

 $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

    $html = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

      if($html) {

          $xpath = new DOMXPath($html);
..
..

}

Hope this helps you

You are executing the URL string instead of the curl handle

 $html = curl_exec($url);

change to

 $html = curl_exec($ch);
