boon Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I am looking to write a script to bring up hotel rates fast. My question is when I have the url which will bring up rates and use file_get_contents it does not bring up the correct information that I need but if I load that exact url I used in file_get_contents right up into the browser or even load it in an iframe it works flawlessly. http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/rates/mspmd?ias=y&countryRequired=yes&newSearch=yes&packageRatesFlag=&countryId=0001&hotelCode=mspmd&errorURL=%2Fh%2Fd%2Fhi%2F1%2Fen%2Fadvancedsearch%3FquickRes%3Dcity&successURL=%2Fh%2Fd%2Fhi%2F1%2Fen%2Fhotelsearchresults&advancedSearchForwardURL=%2Fh%2Fd%2Fhi%2F1%2Fen%2Fasearch&brandGroupCode=hi¤tBrandId=HI&actionName=advancedSearch&requiresCheckinDate=true&availabilitySearchSuccessURL=%2Fh%2Fd%2Fhi%2F1%2Fen%2Frates%2Fmspmd%3Fias%3Dy%26errorURL%3D%2Fh%2Fd%2Fhi%2F1%2Fen%2Fadvancedsearch&clarifyDestinationURL=%2Fh%2Fd%2Fhi%2F1%2Fen%2Fhotelsearchclarify&searchGroupCodes=HI&searchGroupCodes=EX&searchGroupCodes=RS&searchGroupCodes=SL&searchGroupCodes=SS&searchGroupCodes=FS&rateGroupCode=hi&fromAdvancedSearch=true&datePattern=MM%2Fdd%2Fyyyy&checkInFullDate=02/25/2008&number_Nights=2&checkOutFullDate=02/26/2008&numberOfAdults=1&numberOfChildren=0&numberOfRooms=1&roomTypePreference=3&smokingPreference=3&rateTypeCodes=6CBARC&corporateNumber=&groupBookingCode=&iata=&brands=SS&brands=CP&brands=FS&brands=IN&brands=EX&brands=HI&brands=SL&findHotels.x=0&findHotels.y=0 That is the url I am using and if you copy/paste that in the browser it works fine. Using file_get_contents loads another page all together. Any reason for this or a way around it? Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boon Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 So I used curl as well still get the same thing. The page will load the rates perfect if i type out the address in the url but if i use curl or fopen or even file_get_contents it doesn't load the same site even. It loads the search page again. Take a look at this example. It shows the URL, Iframe and then using Curl and the pages it displays. http://brian.nerdjock.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon Posted February 21, 2008 Author Share Posted February 21, 2008 what is your allow_url_fopen setting in your php.ini?? allow_url_fopen = On allow_url_include = On Now you may have to click find hotel/check availability on the bottom right of the iframe the first time to set a the cookie for the site but after that it should load the rates page just fine for the dates im looking for in the iframe. when I use curl on the bottom to put the exact same address in a string it returns a totally different page. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Perhaps you should reconsider how you make your URLs... Note: Has nothing to do with the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
