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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
