[1] <https://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.configuration.php#ini.html-errors> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-07-18 13:03:57] fooquency at gmail dot com Description: ------------ If a file_get_contents call to an external URL fails, due to e.g. a 404, the error log in Apache shows a version of the requested URL with entities, rather than the actual URL, as if it were intended for display: PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.example.com/api?foo=1&amp;bar=2): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found\r\n in /path/to/foo.php on line 3 This means that, after checking the log, the URL cannot be copied-and-pasted from directly. Test script: --------------- <?php echo file_get_contents ('http://www.example.com/api?foo=1&bar=2'); ?> Expected result: ---------------- PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.example.com/api?foo=1&bar=2): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found\r\n in /path/to/foo.php on line 3 Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.example.com/api?foo=1&amp;bar=2): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found\r\n in /path/to/foo.php on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72616&edit=1
