Could help to some degree. Not sure if SOAPClient will go through the

Thanks for that. I've passed the details on.

OOI, wget uses HTTP/1.1 ...

---request begin---
GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Wget/1.11.4 Red Hat modified
Accept: */*
Host: www.php.net
Connection: Keep-Alive


The bug report certainly matches the behaviour.

Maybe try to specify the number of $maxlen bytes to read?

http://us4.php.net/file_get_contents

string file_get_contents  (  string $filename  [,  bool $use_include_path =
false  [,  resource $context  [,  int $offset = -1  [,  int $maxlen = -1
 )

You could also do it the faster and "old fashioned" way:

$fh = fopen('/tmp/test.zip', 'r');
$data = fread($fh, filesize('/tmp/test.zip'));
fclose($fh); 

Or if it's multibyte maybe try this:

function file_get_contents_utf8($fn) {
 $content = file_get_contents($fn);
  return mb_convert_encoding($content, 'UTF-8',
  mb_detect_encoding($content, 'UTF-8, ISO-8859-1', true));
}

The manual currently shows 128M, and that's what I've seen for some
time now. Even so, a function returning less than 100K shouldn't
exhaust 32M of memory either, unless something else is at play. If
there is a memory limit being reached, PHP should log either an error
or warning (I can't remember which).

Default memory limit is still 32MB on every default install I've seen.

I doubt that is the cause, at least not by itself. 21504 characters is
only 21K of data (could be more if the characters are multi-byte
encoded, but still less than 100K) , and the default memory limit in
PHP is 128M. I'm not sure what else it could be, though, as I don't
see any limitations on file_get_contents() discussed in the manual.

The characters are stripped off of the end of the file after that point.

Are the characters stripped off of the end of the file after that point,
or is the encoding not correctly determined and some characters are

But by using something like WireShark you can see exactly what
requests ARE being made. You may be getting a redirect reply which is
failing or something daft. Anything really.

cURL -- both PHP and command-line -- fetches files and URLs (remote and local) 
w/o issues. file_get_contents() fetches files, but fails on all URLs (remote 
and local). This is why I believe the problem lies with the machine's 
configuration and not the Firewall.

It's pretty confounding, isn't it? I'm not sure what to do at this point.

cURL -- both PHP and command-line -- fetches files and URLs (remote and local) 
w/o issues. file_get_contents() fetches files, but fails on all URLs (remote 
and local). This is why I believe the problem lies with the machine's

Do you have a default stream context defined for the http stream?

A _LONG_ time ago, when I was using a firewall with NTLM
authentication (which PHP doesn't deal with), I had to route all my
calls through a local proxy.

This was the code I had ...

 array( // All HTTP requests are passed through the 
local
NTLM proxy server on port 8080.
'proxy' => 'tcp://127.0.0.1:8080',
'request_fulluri' => True,
),
)
);

// Though we said system wide, some extensions need a little coaxing.
libxml_set_streams_context($r_default_context);


Now, you may not see this in your code, but may be in a script which
is loaded via auto_prepend_file.

I would also suggest running something like WireShark at the same time
as your script. See if there is ANY traffic over the wire.

Do the cURL and file_get_contents() code generate identical requests?

He already said Curl works, and changing the browser won't affect what
PHP is doing.

try to get url content from any browser or (if you use Linux / Unix)
curl.

Yes, I know.

Which is why it's odd that the function fails on URLs.

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false

[René Fournier]

Well thanks for trying. For anyone reading this, who wants to be a hero and 
solve the impossible:

1.  file_get_contents ($url) doesn't work -- (on remote URLs or local URLs)
2.  file_get_contents ($file) works.
3.  CURL works (on remote and local URLs).
4.  as per php.ini, allow_url_fopen On

Xserve
- OS X Server 10.6.2
- PHP 5.3 (default)


So... it's as if PHP is not respecting the allow_url_fopen direction in 
php.ini. If that directive were set to Off, everything would make sense (files 
load, urls don't (local or remote)).

Anyone have anything to add? Anyone, anyone?

Bueller?

 The only thing which is a hurdle is that your system/computer is not

 I strongly suggest check your system firewall, any central server settings

 Don't think this is it, since (1) the firewall settings haven't changed, 
 and (2) other machines on the same network can execute this same code and

What is the value for

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false

[Gaurav Kumar]

Ok Agreed.

Lets do one last chance to ensure that your system is allowing external
connections or connection to other systems in the network-

Use Curl to get in the file contents. Check your PHP that Curl is enabled.
Through phpinfo();

If the script output the google page then this means that there is nothing
that is stopping you form getting in the content externally.

http://www.google.com');
// echo $str;


// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();

// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.co.in";); //
http://www.google.com
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);

// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);

?>

Thanks,

Gaurav Kumar

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false

[René Fournier]

The thing is, the file_get_contents() fails the same way on local URLs -- that 
is, web sites hosted on the same machine. Or even using the machine's own IP 
address.

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false

[Gaurav Kumar]

Hi Rene,

The only thing which is a hurdle is that your system/computer is not
allowing external connections. There seems to be nothing else wrong.

I strongly suggest check your system firewall, any central server settings
through which your system gets internet access, any antivirus s/w installed
etc.. this can be the only reason. Something is stopping you to access
external connection.

Let me know when your problem is fixed.
Also I tried the below code and it works fine-

http://www.google.com');
echo $str;
?>

Thanks,

Gaurav Kumar

Don't think this is it, since (1) the firewall settings haven't changed, and 
(2) other machines on the same network can execute this same code and function 
(but they aren't running OS X Server 10.6.

I've tried many different external and local web sites, and they all fail.

Thanks for the options. I don't think they apply in this case. If you have any 
other suggestions on what to do, I would welcome them.

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false

[Gaurav Kumar]

A very typical problem. Good you sent the error message.

This problem can be caused due to one of the following-

1. I have faced similar problem due to local firewall settings.
2. Try some other domain; i.e. other than google com. Try some of the local
area website with a particular page like www.somedomain.com/somefile.html
3. Some times the remote host does not allow you to connect to get the file
contents.
4. # 3 can be either way round from both the ends a) you host server does
not allow external connections b) Remote host does not allow anonymous
connection.

Hope this helps..

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents ($file) works -- file_get_contents ($url) returns false

[René Fournier]

I thought error_reporting would display them, but I guess php.ini had them 
suppressed. Anyway, with:

http://www.google.com'));

?>

I get:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.google.com): failed to open stream: 
Operation now in progress in //.php on line 7 bool(false)

Does that help with the diagnosis?

It is, and I use curl elsewhere in the same script to fetch remote content.
This exact same function works fine on my MacBook Pro (10.6 client, PHP 5.3), 
and *was* previously working fine under Server 10.4.11 and PHP 5.3,

No.
And it doesn't matter if the url is local (localhost, host.domain.com) or 
remote.

Ten to one, this is a pathing problem in the inc.php script. Make a copy
of the query.sql file and put it in the includes directory. Test. Make a
copy and put it in the document root. Test. At some point it will work,
and you'll know where inc.php expects to find it. Then you can work out
why it expects that. Then you'll grasp the "quirk".

Looking at the docs alone, it looks like you can pass a stream as the
third argument to file_get_contents(). So create a stream, set the
timeout on that (using stream_context_create() &
stream_context_set_option() ), and then pass it to
file_get_contents().

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents for URLs?

[Jan G.B.]

Well, you might want to do it with curl, you might want to write your
own socketscript, or your just check the return variable of
file_get_contents() - it'll be false on failure and it won't try to
get an invalid URL forever. Guess the error is somewhere else, when
your script continues indefinitely.
I'm using theis function in that way with a daily cronjob, and the
remote server isn't so stable... trust me. ;)

But setting the timeout can be done in php.ini or like suggested on
the php.net manual:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php#82527

Try replacing the '+' signs with %20.  Worked for me.

if you use rawurlencode() instead of urlencode() this won't be a

Try replacing the '+' signs with %20.  Worked for me.

I had the same results as you on my server.  The only fix I found was to 
replace the + with %20.

Maybe the user agent & server are doing something special that 
file_get_contents() & server are not doing.

Have you tried to output the result of urlencode and paste the whole

given that your own comment in the example below states "while loop reading
the data! (This works!)" I can't see why you *have* to use file_get_contents()

have you tried filesize() and chcked the result is less than memory_limit?

why do you think it should throw an exception? it won't, especially not a
particular class of exception that you made up o the spot.

php errors and exceptions are 2 different things, before going any
further you should read up on both so that you understand the difference.

Works for me.

In fact, I try to always use absolute paths so that I don't end up
affecting the totally wrong file.

Perhaps a clearstatcache() here is needed???

I wouldn't expect it to be, but maybe...

Can you run it in a second script and get the file contents, without
opening and writing the file first?

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents and https

[Bob Hanson]

Problem solved. Thank you all very much for such quick responses.

The solution was to get ssleay32.dll from the PHP 5 ZIP distribution and 
put in my PHP directory.


For the record:

With Windows and PHP 5 all that is needed to use the https protocol in 
file_get_contents is to make sure that both


libeay32.dll
ssleay32.dll

are on the Windows path, which in my case includes the path to my PHP 
directory, so I just put them there.


Excellent! Many thanks.

Yes, fopen wrappers were on.
However, together with our system administrator we could solve the
problem.
The problem itself was with apache configuration. As I was running
file_get_contents on the server that contains the site I wanted to get,
apache translated the request to 127.0.0.1 which resulted in 404 since
there is no webpage for 127.0.0.1.
The sysadmin made some changes in apache config and after that it is
working fine.

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents gets 404 error

[Frank Arensmeier]

In the manual it says:

"You can use a URL as a filename with this function if the fopen  
wrappers have been enabled...".


First of all, I would check your php.ini file. If everything is ok  
(fopen wrappers are on), maybe you could post some code. The last  
option would be to use an other way round by using e.g. curl or  
anything else. If anybody else is able to open the URL you provided,  
it must be either you code or your server / PHP config that is  
messing things up.

yes indeed - actually this is the best solution - no eval, no extra

Won't something like this work...

ob_start();
// If needed you can set up vars used by player.php here
include('player.php');
$code = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

That will capture any output from player.php and stuff it into $code. 
Much nicer than anything else suggested so far.

no php script can withstand me. ;-) seriously I don't know

it makes a difference, and it sounds likes it's off - another possibility
is that safe_mode is on (and that safe_mode blocks allow_url_fopen), but I don't
know about that - you'll have to test it.



phpinfo() says that allow_url_fopen is on and safe mode is off


you can double check that you can reach your site from the box itself by doing a
very simple 'wget' check from the commandline (assuming you have ssh access):

   wget http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/player.php

if that downloads a page then the problem is very like to be php.

Did manage to get it working though using

$player = file_get_contents('player.php');
//Strip out unnecessary HTML
if(preg_match('/(.*)/s', $player, $matches)) {
$content = $matches[1];
}

function phpWrapper($content) {
ob_start();
$content = str_replace('<'.'?php','<'.'?',$content);
eval('?'.'>'.trim($content).'<'.'?');
$content = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
return $content;
}

echo "" .
phpWrapper($content) . "";


Bit messy, but it works at least. :D
Thanks for your help though.

BTW, Brad, I was stripping the HTML tags around the object ok, but I'm
echoing variables in player.php.
$song_url & $song_title, are read from a seperate file after upload
and that is what's being updated by this script, but the textarea was
showing the php code.

Thanks for your patience, guys.

RE: [PHP] file_get_contents

Yes, I realize that now ;)

I didn't read it thoroughly enough before I posted :P

I think what Tom is referring to as "PHP code" is just the extra HTML tags
around the object tag that he is trying to strip out.

Tom -

Try this:

http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/player.php";);

$nstart = strpos($code, '');
$nstop  = strpos($code, '');

echo "" . substr($code, $nstart, $nstop-$nstart) . "";

RE: [PHP] file_get_contents

[Brad Fuller]

Use curl or fopen() to make a request to that PHP page, instead of reading
in the actual contents of the file.

Example:

http://blabla.com/player.php';

$ch=curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 0); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0;
Windows NT 5.0)"); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$buffer = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch); 

echo "" . $buffer . "";

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents

[Tom Chubb]

Thanks Jochem,
Tried that, but it's still showing php code in the text area!
Any other ideas?

The url is http://www.tnhosting.co.uk/scripts/gclub/updateplaylist.php
and you see it on submission. Feel free to post. It's a testing
server.

RE: [PHP] file_get_contents / url wrappers

[Shaunak Kashyap]

It is possible that the site is rejecting the script since it is not a
browser. You can fake a browser by using the User-Agent header.

I am also going to take the liberty to suggest an alternate means to the
same end. If you are on a *nix system you can run the wget command to
connect to the site and retrieve the data. With the right options to
wget the user agent can be faked and the output be sent to stdout. Then
using output buffering you can capture the output to a string.

Because I was unclear on how file_get_contents() worked... :o)

The php manual is a little vague on the topic.

Re: [PHP] File_get_contents()

[Franklin van de Meent]

If you have set allow_url_fopen to On in your php.ini,
file_get_contents('php://stdin'); should work

That should be:

  'php://stdin'

Sorry,

What I'm actually doing is this.

$handle=fopen("php//stdin/","r");
file_get_contents($handle);

I should have put that in the original post, my bad.

Now that I look at it, does anyone think this would work...

file_get_contents("php//stdin/");

Re: [PHP] file_get_contents ( string filename [, int use_include_path])

[Bas Jobsen]

> string filename
The name of the file. b.e test.html or $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'test.html'
> int use_include_path
Optional 1 true or 0 (or nothing) false the file above is in my default 
include path.
Manual: you can use the optional second parameter and set it to "1", if you 
want to search for the file in the include_path, too. 

The default include path is defined in your php.ini:
Specifies a list of directories where the require(), include() and 
fopen_with_path() functions look for files. 

So call it like:
$string_with_file_contents=('file_with_the_wanted_content.ext');
