CURL (PHP) works locally but it doesn't on remote server (curl_error #26)

I try to send photo via Telegram bot, so I wrote the code (a part of it):

$img_path = "https://www.example.com/path/to/file.jpg";
$method = "sendPhoto";
$arrayQuery = array(
    "chat_id" => CHAT_ID,
    "photo" => curl_file_create($img_path, $img_mime, $img_name),
    "caption" => $caption,
    "parse_mode" => "HTML",
    "show_caption_above_media" => True,
);
try {
    $ch = curl_init('https://api.telegram.org/bot'.BOT_TOKEN.'/'.$method);
    if ($ch === false) {
        throw new Exception('failed to initialize');
    }
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $arrayQuery);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
    $res = curl_exec($ch);
    if ($res === false) {
        throw new Exception(curl_error($ch), curl_errno($ch));
    }
} catch(Exception $e) {
    trigger_error(sprintf(
    'Curl failed with error #%d: %s', $e->getCode(), $e->getMessage()),
    E_USER_ERROR);
} finally {
    if (is_resource($ch)) {
        curl_close($ch);
    }
}

So this code works fine locally, but when I upload it to remote server curl throws error 26. Can anybody help me with this?

I tried to add CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST false, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER false but not result

The Telegraph documentation for sendPhoto says

Instead of supplying a local path and filename, you may just pass the image URL

So all you need is:

$arrayQuery = array(
    "chat_id" => CHAT_ID,
    "photo" => $img_path,
    "caption" => $caption,
    "parse_mode" => "HTML",
    "show_caption_above_media" => True,
);

The problem you are experiencing, where curl_file_create works with a URL from your local but not the remote server, may be due to security restrictions of the allow_url_fopen setting.

From php's documentation:

This option enables the URL-aware fopen wrappers that enable accessing URL object like files.

Although this option is enabled by default, many hosting platforms will disable it as it is considered a security risk.
