$url = "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?lat=".$lat."&lon=".$lon."&zoom=10&format=json&addressdetails=1&accept-language=en";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.86 Safari/537.36");

$result = curl_exec($ch);

Set a user agent which identifies your app, it can also be an email address

Not sure why, but looks like it work like this

`function reversegeocode($lat, $lon){

$url = "https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?lat=".$lat."&lon=".$lon."&zoom=10&format=json&addressdetails=1&accept-language=en";

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, false);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, $url);
//curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.86 Safari/537.36");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, _SITE_NAME." ReverseGeocode service");

$result = curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);

return json_decode($result, true);

}

The serice (nominatim.openstreetmap.org) blocks IP addresses. It's automatic. I think your IP address was un-blocked after you made the change to the user agent.
