How can I detect a Not Found URL error in php curl?

Question

How can I detect this error using php curl? curl return even if the url does not exist.

Not Found The requested URL /foo/index.php/items/edit was not found on this server. 

My code

 $post_fields = array('info' => json_encode($fields)); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POST,count($post_fields)); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,$post_fields); curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,true); curl_setopt($ch,CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE,'application/x-www-form-urlencoded charset=utf-8'); $result = curl_exec($ch); echo $result; if(curl_error($ch)){ $result = curl_error($ch); curl_close($ch); return $result; }else{ curl_close($ch); return json_decode($result,true); }

use this to get the HTTP status code:

 $code = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE); 

If 404, this means that the request URL was not found.

Note: do not forget to leave this line until curl_close($ch);
