file_get_contents() give me 403 Forbidden

This is not a problem in your script, its a feature in you partners web server security.

It’s hard to say exactly whats blocking you, most likely its some sort of block against scraping. If your partner has access to his web servers setup it might help pinpoint.

What you could do is to “fake a web browser” by setting the user-agent headers so that it imitates a standard web browser.

I would recommend cURL to do this, and it will be easy to find good documentation for doing this.

    // create curl resource
    $ch = curl_init();

    // set url
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "example.com");

    //return the transfer as a string
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13');

    // $output contains the output string
    $output = curl_exec($ch);

    // close curl resource to free up system resources
    curl_close($ch);
