cURL is not working with codeignier 3

The curl_init method returns a false if there is an error.

PHP Code:

public function sample()
{
    $ch = curl_init();

    if ($ch !== false)
    {
        $target_url = 'https://apiurl.com';
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$target_url);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST,1);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, '');
        $args['file'] = new CurlFile($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/file/'.'sample.docx');
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $args);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE); 
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

        $response = curl_exec($ch);
   
        if ($response === false)
        {  
            print_r('Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch));
            die;
        }

        print_r($response);
        die('--------------here-----------------');
    }
    else
    {
        // ERROR
    }
} 


Give that a try.
