Could not resolve host: api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com

I am trying to implement paypal pro credit card payment in php

I get following error no matter what i do.

Could not resolve host: api-3t.sandbox.paypal.com

Its a DNS problem of computer I think. But are there any chances of CODE being wrong?

What I have tried:

<?php
