I am trying to extract data from URL: http://ift.tt/1yCG9LX

<?php
include('simple_html_dom.php');

function dlPage($href) {

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $href);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_REFERER, $href);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/533.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/5.0.375.125 Safari/533.4");
$str = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

$html= str_get_html($str); 

foreach($html->find(div[id=events]) as $elm){
    var_dump($elm->plaintext);exit;
    // this var_dump is return empty string.
}

return $dom;
}

$url = 'http://ift.tt/1yCG9LX';
$data = dlPage($url);
print_r($data);

?>
