file-get-contents

I am trying to use file_get_contents.I have made sure that allow_url_fopen is enabled in php.ini. As of now it is telling me: [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized All I'm doing is the following, which I can access through browser without a problem. $url=('http://site/@api/users/=john_smith@site.com/properties'); $xmlString=file_get_contents($url); I believe this is an authentication issue but not sure how I can supply the proper credentials from within the script itself. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. In your url try: http

I am working with PHP to access files and photos from remote servers. I am mostly using the file_get_contents() and copy() functions. Sometimes accessing a small text file or photo is almost instant, but other times it seems to get "stuck" for a minute on the same exact file. And sometimes it actually causes my script to hang, and even when I stop the script Apache remains locked up for several minutes. I'm quite willing to accept the fact that internet connections can be flaky. My concern is that I recover gracefully and that I do not crash Apache - the PHP set_time_limit() function only

I'm trying to use a function in order to get this working: <img src='login.php?image=ind_legend.jpg'> But I can't pass through the function to place the image. I went back a couple of steps and tried only this part of the code: <?php $file = "http://localhost/sales/test.jpg"; header('Content-type: image/jpeg'); readfile($file); ?> or using this function: echo file_get_contents($source); but the fact is that the only thing I get is a broken image cross (IE) or nothing in Firefox. I would appreciate any suggestions Thanks in advance You certainly have some whitespace in your PHP script, or a UTF

We have an url like http://site.s3.amazonaws.com/images/some image @name.jpg inside $string What I'm trying to do (yes, there is a whitespace around the url): $string = urlencode(trim($string)); $string_data = file_get_contents($string); What I get (@ is also replaced): file_get_contents(http%3A%2F%2Fsite.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fimages%2Fsome+image+@name.jpg)[function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory If you copy/paste http://site.s3.amazonaws.com/images/some image @name.jpg into browser address bar, image will open. What's bad and how to fix that? The URL you

Which of file_get_contents or curl should be used in PHP to make an HTTP request? If file_get_contents will do the job, is there any need to use curl ? Using curl seems to need more lines. eg: curl: $ch = curl_init('http://www.website.com/myfile.php'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $content); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); $output = curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); file_get_contents: $output = file_get_contents('http://www.website.com/myfile.php'.$content); First of all cURL has a lot of options to set. You can really set any

I am trying to download files using file_get_contents() function. However if the location of the file is http://www.example.com/some name.jpg , the function fails to download this. But if the URL is given as http://www.example.com/some%20name.jpg , the same gets downloaded. I tried rawurlencode() but this coverts all the characters in the URL and the download fails again. Can someone please suggest a solution for this? I think this will work for you: function file_url($url){ $parts = parse_url($url); $path_parts = array_map('rawurldecode', explode('/', $parts['path'])); return $parts['scheme']

This question already has an answer here: Should I allow 'allow_url_fopen' in PHP? 5 answers I am currently using file_get_contents() to get the title of a webpage, given the URL. On wamp, this works perfectly fine. However, when I shifted this to my web server, I came across a problem which lead me to this answer. (Which is to set allow_url_fopen to 1 ). Is there a major security risk in setting this on? If yes, are there any alternate ways to grab the title of a webpage from the URL itself? (Also, unsure of tags for this so please feel free to add/remove if appropriate!) Edit (1) : Further
