HTTP 500 when I ran the cURL code for the browser

Hi,

I typed the same code as Alena in this video, at about 3:22 mins into the video, and had a look in the browser but got a HTTP 500. Could this just be a Treehouse server thing or did I miss something.

This was my code at the time.

<?php

$username = 'mikethefrog';
$url = 'https://api.github.com/users/treehouse';
$process = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($process, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $username);
curl_exec($process);
curl_close($process);

Would appreciate your help. Thanks.

The URL I tried was the workspace url, but with '/curl.php' at the end.
