Http Requests With File_Get_Contents, Getting the Response Code

HTTP requests with file_get_contents, getting the response code

http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.httpresponseheader.php

$context = stream_context_create(['http' => ['ignore_errors' => true]]);
$result = file_get_contents("http://example.com", false, $context);
var_dump($http_response_header);

How to get php file_get_contents() error response content

So in the end everything posted here works as it should be. I should have made isolated test case before coming here. (But after debugging while it seems you have tried every option :P)

So I think the 'ignore_errors' => true, line was somehow overwritten or ignored but isolating it form the other code it worked like supposed and the value of $response if the content of the error message.

So in that case you need to do the error checking some other way than if($response === false). Very simple way could be if($http_response_header[0] != 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK') { handle error! }

Thanks for every ones input!

how to get HTTP status in variable with file_get_contents

Saty's answer is write, also i would like to suggest using curl, after curl_exec, you can get all the information using curl_getinfo

Example from the same link:

<?php
// Create a curl handle
$ch = curl_init('http://www.example.com/');

// Execute
curl_exec($ch);

// Check if any error occurred
if(!curl_errno($ch))
{
 $info = curl_getinfo($ch);

 echo 'Took ' . $info['total_time'] . ' seconds to send a request to ' . $info['url'];
 echo 'HTTP STATUS CODE: ' . $info['http_code'];
}

// Close handle
curl_close($ch);
?>

The result can be returned fetched from curl_exec using curl_setopt by settings CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to true.

Example:

<?php
// Create a curl handle
$ch = curl_init('http://www.example.com/');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

// Execute
$result = curl_exec($ch);

// Check if any error occurred
if(!curl_errno($ch))
{
 $info = curl_getinfo($ch);

 echo 'Took ' . $info['total_time'] . ' seconds to send a request to ' . $info['url'];
 echo 'HTTP STATUS CODE: ' . $info['http_code'];
}

// Close handle
curl_close($ch);

// use $result
var_dump($result);
?>

file_get_contents and error codes

Try curl instead:

function get_data($url)
{
  $ch = curl_init();
  $timeout = 5;
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
  $data = curl_exec($ch);

  if(!curl_errno($ch)){ 
     return $data;
  }else{
    echo 'Curl error: ' . curl_error($ch); 
  }
curl_close($ch);
}

How can I handle the warning of file_get_contents() function in PHP?

Step 1: check the return code: if($content === FALSE) { // handle error here... }

Step 2: suppress the warning by putting an error control operator (i.e. @) in front of the call to file_get_contents():
$content = @file_get_contents($site);

Getting http status code from file_get_contents inside helper function

As Rick suggested in the comments you should use curl.

function get_json($zipcode) {
    $api_key = KEY;
    $url = 'https://example.com/request.json?api_key=' . $api_key . '&address=' . $zipcode;
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    $result = curl_exec($ch);
    $http_code = (int) curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
    curl_close($ch);
    if ($http_code == 200) {
        return json_decode($result, true);
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

file_get_contents() handling error message

You need to check whether the call to file_get_contentswas successful:

$t = microtime( TRUE );
@$content = file_get_contents( "http://www.example.org" );
if($content === FALSE) {
    print "Site down"; // or other problem
} else {
    $t = microtime( TRUE ) - $t;
    print "It took $t seconds!";
}

The @ is there to suppress the warning. Also Note the ===.

file_get_contents of php, doesn't provide proper error response of a https request

You can change this behavior by setting http.ignore_errors to true.

<?php

$opts = [
    "http" => [
        'ignore_errors' => true
    ]
];
$context = stream_context_create($opts);

$hmaps_request = file_get_contents("https://geocode.search.hereapi.com/v1/geocode?apiKey={MY_API_KEY}&q=3891+Delwood+Drive%2C+Powell%2C+OH%2C+United+States", false, $context);

$json_details = json_decode($hmaps_request);

/* Output 
object(stdClass)#1 (2) {
  ["error"]=>
  string(12) "Unauthorized"
  ["error_description"]=>
  string(33) "apiKey invalid. apiKey not found."
}
*/
var_dump($json_details);

PHP: How to GET request a page and get body and http error codes

You should try with curl

$ch = curl_init('https://httpstat.us/404');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
// if you want to follow redirections
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);
// you may want to disable certificate verification
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
$httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);

if ($httpCode >= 400) {
    // error
    // but $response still contain the response
} else {
    // everything is fine
}

curl_close($ch);
