File_get_contents (or alternative) to scrape data from HTTPS: pages

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. :)

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.
