Show contents of webpage with CURL. Fifa website

Question

I am trying to get the contents of this webpage to be shown.

https://sofifa.com/players?aeh=22&ptl=84&pth=99&pn=27&pn=25&pn=23?

But unfortunately, it is not working.

Here is the code

<?php 
    function curl_download($Url){// is cURL installed yet?
        if (!function_exists('curl_init')){
            die('Sorry cURL is not installed!');
        }
        // OK cool - then let's create a new cURL resource handle
        $ch = curl_init("https://sofifa.com/players?aeh=22&ptl=84&pth=99&pn=27&pn=25&pn=23");
        // Now set some options (most are optional)
        // Set URL to download
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $ch);
        // User agent
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "MozillaXYZ/1.0");
        // Include header in result? (0 = yes, 1 = no)
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
        // Should cURL return or print out the data? (true = return, false = print)
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        // Timeout in seconds
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 10);
        // Download the given URL, and return output
        $output = curl_exec($ch);
        // Close the cURL resource, and free system resources
        curl_close($ch);
        return $output;
    }
?> 
<?php
    include_once('AFIFAtest.php');#this is the file name of the program
    curl_download($url);
?>

This is a tricky thing, because any relative links on the page will break. For example if the CSS is a relative link it will be broken, because it will look on the site that is doing the showing, instead of the original. The same goes for Javascript, `` tags, like navigation links, images etc... This is why we have `iFrame` tags, well I use them for downloads and uploads,but that's a separate post. — ArtisticPhoenix, Mar 30 '18 at 20:23
Instead of going to the website, i want curl to display the webpage only - is this possible in php? — James Tyreece, Mar 30 '18 at 20:28
Define `going to the website` Your definition of going to it and mine are likely different. For me going to it is making a HTTP request to the site. For you it's probably using the browser. And yes, as I outlined above what happens. But for me (With my definition) you cant display it without "going" to it. For you, I would say use an `IFRAME` tag. However it may be against their TOS policy — ArtisticPhoenix, Mar 30 '18 at 20:30
