No php expert here, but... just from common sense, if curl was running
asynchronously, then you would need to provide it a call-back or use some
other kind of synchronization mechanism to know when it was complete with
the operation.  Therefore, I'm inclined to think that is not the case. 
To begin with, you may want to check the return value of curl_exec, to
see if there were any errors.  Also, for debugging purposes, print out
the content $html before you attempt to parse it with DOM.
