[SOLVED] file_get_contents 404 error.

[Normac]

Right got the post wrote down now

 

main.php:

include ('function.php');
$linkss=file(something.txt');
foreach ($linkss as $line_num => $link) {
$pieces = explode('/', $link);
linkgetter($link, "links.txt", "");

 

something.txt format:

http://www.example.com/page/1.html
http://www.example.com/page/2.html
http://www.example.com/page/3.html

 

Important linkgetter code:

function linkgetter($url, $filename, $testinternal)
{
$fh=fopen('something.txt', 'w') or die();
$output = file_get_contents($url, "r"); 
//do stuff with output
$cat="$cat\n";
}

All that Function.php just includes the linkgetter function. The linkgetter function just gets some links (I'm tracking backlinks and checking if they still work) and prints some info.

 

Now I'm using PHP 4 on a  local sever, though the websites are online. Every loop I get the following error message.

 

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.example.com/page/1.html ) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\scraper\function.php on line 7

 

If i replace $url with $output = file_get_contents(http://www.example.com/page/1.html, "r"); it works. (The Page exists.)

 

So what am I doing wrong?

You're missing an opening quote.

 

$linkss=file(something.txt');

 

should be

 

$linkss=file('something.txt');

If i replace $url with $output = file_get_contents(http://www.example.com/page/1.html, "r"); it works.

 

I don't see where you use $url in your code. Anyway, are url_wrappers enabled?

Yea I changed the filename for viewing here, accedently deleted a ' .

It is there:

 

function linkgetter([b]$url[/b], $filename, $testinternal)
{
$fh=fopen('something.txt', 'w') or die();
$output = file_get_contents([b]$url[/b], "r"); 
//do stuff with output
$cat="$cat\n";
}

$linkss=file(something.txt');
foreach ($linkss as $line_num => $link) {
$pieces = explode('/', $link);
linkgetter([b]$link[/b], "links.txt", "");

 

Basicly it takes lists of links from a txt file, then takes the pages to check for certain info.

So, the problem would seen to be that you do not have enable allow_url_fopen enabled in your php.ini or that the filepath you are passing to file_get_contents does not exist.

Really stupid mistake, forgot to trim the $linkss variable. Fixed and solves, thanks all
