Marco it was all working fine for a month or more

then today it stopped working

My new code that I got from somewhere seems ok but I don't feel really
confident about this

I am using this



function file_post_contents($url,$headers=false) {
    $url = parse_url($url);

    if (!isset($url['port'])) {
      if ($url['scheme'] == 'http') { $url['port']=80; }
      elseif ($url['scheme'] == 'https') { $url['port']=443; }
    }
    $url['query']=isset($url['query'])?$url['query']:'';

    $url['protocol']=$url['scheme'].'://';
    $eol="\r\n";

    $headers =  "POST ".$url['protocol'].$url['host'].$url['path']."
HTTP/1.0".$eol.
                "Host: ".$url['host'].$eol.
                "Referer: ".$url['protocol'].$url['host'].$url['path'].
$eol.
                "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded".
$eol.
                "Content-Length: ".strlen($url['query']).$eol.
                $eol.$url['query'];
    $fp = fsockopen($url['host'], $url['port'], $errno, $errstr, 30);
    if($fp) {
      fputs($fp, $headers);
      $result = '';
      while(!feof($fp)) { $result .= fgets($fp, 128); }
      fclose($fp);
      if (!$headers) {
        //removes headers
        $pattern="/^.*\r\n\r\n/s";
        $result=preg_replace($pattern,'',$result);
      }
      return $result;
    }
}
