Network response problem with PHP commands cURL & file_get_contents in IIS 7

[jeff00seattle]

Take this simple PHP script which gets contents from a website:

 

$response = file_get_contents(http://www.google.com);

 

If I call this script within a PHP file as a script through Eclipse PDT, it provides a response.

 

If I call this script within the same PHP file was a webpage through IIS 7, it provides no response (false).

If I run this same script on the same box in WAMP, no problems.

 

The same is true if I use PHP cURL functionality.

 

$ch = curl_init(); 
$timeout = 0; 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://www.google.com'); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); 
$response = curl_exec($ch); 
curl_close($ch);

All the variants you describe rely on there own individual php.ini file. Check that the valid file for use with IIS7 has valid url wrappers enabled.
