file-get-contents

I have an issue where even if I replace the spaces to %20 and get this content the ultimate url the browser gets turns the "%20" into "%2520" Here's my code, any suggestions to get this to work? it seems easy but I'm stuck :/ <?php //$_GET['song'] will contain a song name with spaces $song = str_replace(array("%20", "&", "?" , "/"), array(" ", "", "", ""), $_GET['song']); // I use this to check how the GET 'song' looks after the str_replace $list = "http://www.lyrdb.com/lookup.php?q=" . $song . "&for=fullt"; echo "list url is " . $list . "<hr>"; $content = file_get_contents("http://www.lyrdb

I need to POST cookies.txt then download a page to a text file using CURL. This is my FGC example but apparently FGC is bad at cookies so I need CURL. <?php $file = file('source\1.txt'); foreach ($file as $link) { $link = trim($link); $link2 = "http://site-that.com/authenticates?={$link}"; $downloaded = file_get_contents($link2); $myFile = "parsed/$link" . ".txt"; $fh = fopen($myFile, 'a') or die('Cannot open file'); fwrite($fh, $downloaded); } $timestamp = time(); rename('source\1.txt', "source/done/done-{$timestamp}.txt"); echo 'Finished'; Any ideas? Code examples would be extremely

I want to download a page from the web, it's allowed to do when you are using a simple browser like Firefox, but when I use "file_get_contents" the server refuses and replies that it understands the command but don't allow such downloads. So what to do? I think I saw in some scripts (on Perl) a way to make your script like a real browser by creating a user agent and cookies, which makes the servers think that your script is a real web browser. Does anyone have an idea about this, how it can be done? Use CURL. <?php // create curl resource $ch = curl_init(); // set url curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT

I am slightly baffled. I am using the bit.ly PHP API to shorten some urls. This works fine on local host - but when I tried it on my server (php running in Apache), file_get_contents() returns an empty string. I checked my apache logs and cannot see any warning/errors by Apache, so I tried the same command at the CL (using PHP CLI): >php -a php > $long_url = some_url_encoded_string; php > echo file_get_contents($long_url); {"errorCode": 0, "errorMessage": "", "results": {"http://www.example.html": {"userHash": "abc", "shortKeywordUrl": "", "hash": "xyz", "shortCNAMEUrl": "http://bit.ly/foobar"

I get the warning message: file_get_contents failed to open stream permission denied I have set all_url_open to on in the php.ini file. My php file is in my apache server and it is trying to access a url (that returns JSON) from a tomcat server on the same machine. The code in the php file looks like: $srcURL = 'http://samemachine:8080/returnjson/'; $results = file_get_contents($srcURL); I have also tried curl and it returns nothing and doesn't hit the tomcat server either: function curl($url){ $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Accept-Language: en-us')); curl

I'm trying to search a PHP file for a string and when that string is found I want to return the whole LINE that the string is on. Here is my example code. I'm thinking I would have to use explode but cannot figure that out. $searchterm = $_GET['q']; $homepage = file_get_contents('forms.php'); if(strpos($homepage, "$searchterm") !== false) { echo "FOUND"; //OUTPUT THE LINE }else{ echo "NOTFOUND"; } Just read the whole file as array of lines using file function. function getLineWithString($fileName, $str) { $lines = file($fileName); foreach ($lines as $lineNumber => $line) { if (strpos($line,
