get_file_contents() does not work for localhost

[keenlearner]

Hello, I have problem with file_get_contents() in my localhost.

When i try

echo file_get_contents('http://localhost/index.php'); // it output error of 


// but when i try 
echo file_get_contents('http://www.google.com/') // it works

 

my http://localhost/index.php just content a string "<h1> It works</h1>"

Does anybody know why ? I thought my firewall is blocking the connection, so when I disabled my firewall, it still not working. Thanks for any of your help.

try just echo file_get_contents('index.php');

I believe that should work.
