CURL can not run with Domain name on local Server

i'm trying to use curl to run a local php file inside my centOs7 shared server, but i can not use curl method for my local files. here are my example files :

--bg/
------back.php
------curl.php

here is curl.php codes:

<?php
function run_curl($data){
    //url-ify the data for the POST
    $fields_string = '';
    //foreach($data as $key=>$value) { $fields_string .= $key.'='.$value.'&'; }
    $fields_string = http_build_query($data);
    //open connection
    $ch = curl_init();
    //set the url, number of POST vars, POST data
    //curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ['Accept: ' . $content_type]);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,true); 
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
            'Content-Type: application/json'
        )
    );
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'https://taskdan.com/bg/back.php');
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$fields_string);

    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,50); # timeout after 10 seconds, you can increase it
    //curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HEADER,false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);  # Set curl to return the data instead of printing it to the browser.
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1)"); # Some server may refuse your request if you dont pass user agent
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); 
    //execute post
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    //print_r($result);
    //print_r((curl_getinfo($ch)));
    //error_log($result);
    //close connection
    curl_close($ch);
    return ($result); 
}
echo " Output : </br>";
echo run_curl( [
    "ab" => "test"
]);
?>

and the below my back.php codes:

<?php
header("Content-Type:application/json");
echo json_encode([
    "a" => "test"
])
?>

When I run this code, it looks like it converts my domain name to the server's public IP address. Curl is working fine for outside of server scripts.

when i run curl with using SSH, i get this:

[root@??? ~]# curl https://taskdan.com -k
<html>Apache is functioning normally</html>
[root@??? ~]# curl http://171.22.27.118 -k
<html>Apache is functioning normally</html>

i want to run some scripts in background, Are there any way to run a local php file with POST parameters by CURL?

Are you sure that your Apache virtual host is configured for listening on all interfaces? When you do a DNS lookup to a domain that is configured as 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts the request is then pointed to the loopback interface. Open your virtualhost configuration and search for:

<VirtualHost ...>

If it is configured as

<VirtualHost 171.22.27.118:80>

Change it to

<VirtualHost *:80>

..and try again

If you cannot edit the VirtualHost definition for any reason you can instruct cURL to make the request on a specific address/port and set the correct Host header:

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
        'Content-Type: application/json',
        'Host: taskdan.com'
    )
);
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'https://171.22.27.118/bg/back.php');

This could help mitigate the issue but is not guaranteed to work as the problem is the webserver configuration not the source code per se.

Your /etc/hosts file should look like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

Change it to look like this:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 taskdan.com
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 taskdan.com

Or, just change your code.

curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,'http://127.0.0.1/bg/back.php');

And configure Apache accordingly.
