Dale_G Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Hey everyone. Uh, right now I'm trying to scrape some data from an https:// page on another site. It's fully accessible, no log-in is required, once you load it you can view it. However I seem to have a problem reading in this page with PHP. I used file_get_contents but...I end up just waiting around for 10 minutes with nothing happening. So uh, anyone care to offer me and solutions? Thanks.

Dale_G Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 Well, just did. No luck, not the methods I used anyway. If you know any I could try, just post 'em.

PFMaBiSmAd Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 For php to be able to make a https request, the OpenSSL extension needs to be installed on your server. If you set error_reporting to E_ALL and set display_errors = On, you will get error messages are to why the connection is failing.
