allow_url_fopen or cURL ?

[Imaulle]

$fh = fopen($url, 'r');
while (!feof($fh)) {
$swfaddress_content .= fgets($fh, 4096);
}    
fclose($fh);

 

Hello, the above code is basically causing an infinite loop/server crash. Is there a better way to do this? using cURL or something? or must I enable allow_url_fopen

 

 

thanks, you guys rock!

If it's not disabled by the server then using file_get_contents would be the simplest solution. Alternatively you could use cURL, it wouldn't need to be too complex.

 

$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$content = curl_exec($curl);

hmmm. I wanna do the simplest solution!

 

how would I do it with file_get_contents()

[oni-kun]

$content = file_get_contents($url);

Yeah, PHP get a +1 for including atleast one simplified function to pull data without manual socket traversing.
