iwarlord Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm having some problems using file_get_contents on my local server. $text= file_get_contents("file.php"); works fine as expected but... $text= file_get_contents("file.php?id=1"); ...throws a warning "Warning: file_get_contents(file.php?id=1) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No error". Putting the url in a browser works correctly though. Obvious it has to do with the get request but... $text= file_get_contents("http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=bpatterson&btnG=Google+Search"); ...works like it should. I tried using the full URL of file.php but then I get failed to open stream: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. . Also, no luck with using the full file path from root. I tried url_encode which gave me failed to open stream: No such file and a 403 error when using the encoded url in a browser. I guess maybe its a server config problem??? but I wouldn't know what to change. Any ideas?

cags Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'm not certain, but it could be something todo with the allow_url_fopen option in your php.ini, do you know what this value is set to?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I tried using the full URL of file.php Post what you tried. xxxxxx out any sensitive information in the URL, but don't change any of the syntax. Also, does file.php use sessions or cookies to allow access to it?

iwarlord Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Aha! I've got it working. I was using "http://localhost" but replaced it with "http://ipaddress" and it works fine now. Should the full URL be necessary in this case or is something still not setup right?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Should the full URL be necessary in this case Yes, a GET parameter only has meaning and only works on the end of the URL, not on the end of a file name.
