file_get _contents help

[Nodral]

Hi All

 

I'm pretty new to this, and need a quick fix.

 

Here's my code

$post_data = array('xml' => $xml_str);
            $length = implode($post_data);
            $stream_options = array(
                'http' => array(
                    'method' => 'POST',
                    'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' . "\r\n" . "Content-Length: " . $length . "\r\n",
                    'content' => http_build_query($post_data)));

            $context = stream_context_create($stream_options);

           


            $response = file_get_contents($url, null, $context);

 

I'm getting the following error with the file-get contents and I don't know where to start looking for answers.  I've tried Google, but the main response is about https wrappers, which I'm not using. This is to go to a HTTP.

 

[function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\wamp\www\phpxml\index.php on line 67

 

Line 67 is the one starting $response..................

$response = file_get_contents($url, null, $context);

 

What is your $url?

 

 

Also, you should pass false instead of null into the second parameter.

http:\\www.########.com\###service\###xmlinterface.asmx

 

Obviously the hashes would be filled in.

Try:

 

http:\\www.########.com\\###service\\###xmlinterface.asmx

still get invalid argument, however, when I turn the slashes around, I get a failed to open stream 500 error

URL's do not use back slashes.
