First, this is probably just a typo in your question, but the third arguments to file_get_contents() needs to be your streaming context, NOT the array of options. I ran a quick test with something like this, and everything worked as expected $opts = array(‘http’ => array(‘header’=> ‘Cookie: ‘ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_COOKIE’].”\r\n”)); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $contents = … Read more
You need to check the HTTP response code: function get_http_response_code($url) { $headers = get_headers($url); return substr($headers[0], 9, 3); } if(get_http_response_code(‘http://somenotrealurl.com/notrealpage’) != “200”){ echo “error”; }else{ file_get_contents(‘http://somenotrealurl.com/notrealpage’); }
You have to define custom stream context (3rd argument of function file_get_contents) with ignore_errors option on.
Your server must have the allow_url_fopen property set to true. Being on a free webhost explains it, as it’s usually disabled to prevent abuse. If you paid for your hosting, get in contact with your host so they can enable it for you. If changing that setting is not an option, then have a look … Read more
You have to differentiate two things: Do you want to capture the output (echo, print,…) of the included file and use the output in a variable (string)? Do you want to return certain values from the included files and use them as a variable in your host script? Local variables in your included files will … Read more
You need to also check in PHP.ini file extension = php_openssl.dll is enable or not, if not then just enable that by removing ; sign allow_url_fopen = on
If you don’t want file_get_contents to report HTTP errors as PHP Warnings, then this is the clean way to do it, using a stream context (there is something specifically for that): $context = stream_context_create(array( ‘http’ => array(‘ignore_errors’ => true), )); $result = file_get_contents(‘http://your/url’, false, $context);
There is a big difference between getting the contents of a file and running a script: include — this PHP directive runs the specified file as a script, and the scope is the same as the scope where the include call is made. Therefore, to “pass” variables to it, you simply need to define them … Read more
You might consider nusoap. For your question though, it works if you use ignore_errors. $context = stream_context_create(array( ‘http’ => array( ‘ignore_errors’ => true ) )); $contents = file_get_contents($url, false, $context);
You might want to try using curl to retrieve the data instead of file_get_contents. curl has better support for error handling: // make request $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, “http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/User.json”); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $output = curl_exec($ch); // convert response $output = json_decode($output); // handle error; error output if(curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE) !== 200) { var_dump($output); } curl_close($ch); … Read more
