If you're using curl_multi and there's an error, curl_error() will remain empty until you've called curl_multi_info_read(). That function "pumps" the information inside the curl libraries to the point where curl_error() will return a useful string.
This should really be added to the documentation, because it's not at all obvious.

For a 404 response to actually trigger an error as the example seems to be trying to demonstrate the following option should be set:
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_FAILONERROR,true);
As per http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html
CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)
This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP server returns an error code that is >= 400. (This error code was formerly known as CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND.)

curl_error is not a textual representation of curl_errno.
It's an actual error *message*.
If you want textual representation of error *code*, look for curl_strerror.
