Docker Cannot Run CURL or WGET Commands To Localhost

General
1

I have an issues I discovered while trying to try PHPUnit tests with CURL commands. I always get:

Connecting to www.example.local (www.example.local)|127.0.0.1|:80... failed: Connection refused.

I then tried to run wget and curl commands from the container command line, same problem. I have docker working like this.

In my computer’s /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1 www.example.local
127.0.0.1 api.example.local

and so forth and it works when accessing the sites in my browser. In my docker-compse.yml, I have:

version: “3.4”

volumes:
  postgres_database :
     external: false
  mysql_data : {}
  schemas:
    external: false
services:
  php:
    build:
      context : ./
      dockerfile : Dockerfile
      network: host
    volumes:
      - ./:/code
      - ./uploads.ini:/usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/uploads.ini
    depends_on: [ "postgres"]

    ports:
        - "9000:9000"
    expose:
      - "9000"
    container_name: binge_php
  web:
    image: nginx:latest
    build:
      context : ./
      dockerfile : Dockerfile_Nginx
      network: host
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    expose:
      - "0"
    volumes:
      - ./:/code
      - ./site.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/site.conf
      - ./nginx_custom_settings.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx_custom_settings.conf

    links:
      - php
    depends_on:
      - php
    container_name: binge_nginx

What might I be doing wrong that is preventing me from running curl commands from inside the php container?
