note 95923 added to function.file-get-contents

Occasionally file_get_contents is unable to retrieve a web page. The quickest method I have discovered to retrieve the same string is to use WGET to retrieve and store the file and then use file_get_contents to retrieve that stored file. $input = file_get_contents($url); if(!$input) { exec 'wget $url -O ' . $filename; $input = file_get_contents($filename); } ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 24.98.86.25 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/95923 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95923/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95923/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95923/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95923/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95923/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95923/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/95923 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/95923 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
