Answer 1

The content option is used with POST and PUT requests. For GET you can just append it as a query string:

file_get_contents('http://example.com/send.php?'.$getdata, false, $context);

Furthermore, the method defaults to GET so you don't even need to set options, nor create a stream context. So, for this particular situation, you could simply call file_get_contents with the first parameter if you wish.
