 Nope.

 A _LONG_ time ago, when I was using a firewall with NTLM

 This was the code I had ...

 ?php
 // Define the default, system-wide context.
 $r_default_context = stream_context_get_default(
 array(
 'http' = 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.

 Wish it were, but my test code is bare bones.

 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?

 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.

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.

2009-12-14 Thread 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?

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

Hi Gaurav,

 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.

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.

 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

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

 3. Some times the remote host does not allow you to connect to get the file 
 contents.

(Also not the cause -- as explained above.)

 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.

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.

If you enable all errors, anything extra? ...

?php
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
set_time_limit(0); // Just in case it takes more than your default
execution time.

var_dump(file_get_contents('http://www.google.com'));

And it doesn't matter if the url is local (localhost, host.domain.com) or
