curl_exec() returns boolean FALSE if the exec failed for any reasons. Instead of just returning your $returndata, test it first:

...
$returndata = curl_exec($crl);
if ($returndata === FALSE) {
   die('Curl failed: ' . curl_error($crl));
}
return($returndata);

Since you only echo out this value, you'd never see it, as boolean false will output as a null/empty string.
