File_Get_Contents Is Not Working for Some Url

file_get_contents is not working for some url

URL which is not retrieved by file_get_contents, because their server checks whether the request come from browser or any script. If they found request from script they simply disable page contents.

So that I have to make a request similar as browser request. So I have used following code to get 2nd url contents. It might be different for different web server. Because they might keep different checks.

Even though why dont you try to use following code! If you are lucky this might work for you!!

function getUrlContent($url) {
    fopen("cookies.txt", "w");
    $parts = parse_url($url);
    $host = $parts['host'];
    $ch = curl_init();
    $header = array('GET /1575051 HTTP/1.1',
        "Host: {$host}",
        'Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
        'Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8',
        'Cache-Control:max-age=0',
        'Connection:keep-alive',
        'Host:adfoc.us',
        'User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.116 Safari/537.36',
    );

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION, true);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookies.txt');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookies.txt');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    return $result;
}

$url = "http://adfoc.us/1575051";
$html = getUrlContent($url);

Thanks everyone for the guidance.

file_get_contents doesn't work on some url's

Some services can simply check if the request is coming from a script or from the web browser. Then they can block the requests. But why not to create fake headers?!

$header=array('GET /1575051 HTTP/1.1',
'Host: adfoc.us',
'Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8',
'Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8',
'Cache-Control:max-age=0',
'Connection:keep-alive',
'Host:adfoc.us',
'User-Agent:Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.116 Safari/537.36',
);

and then use the curl to retrive the data.

file_get_contents not returning entire webpage

I have one quick workaround to fix relative paths

http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_base.asp

Just add to your code <base> tag.

<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://3sk.tv');
echo str_replace(
   '<head>', 
   '<head><base href="http://3sk.tv" target="_blank">',
    $homepage
);
?>

It's should help.
