With [url]http://www.xxx.com/xxx/xxx/xxx.htm[/url] url
file_get_contents works.

[code=php]echo file_get_contents(‘http://www.xx.xx.com/xxx/xxx/xxx.htm’);[/code]

But with [url]https://www.xxx.com/xxx/xx/xxx/xxx[/url] url, it does not show anything(not working)

[code=php]echo file_get_contents(‘https://www.xxx.com/xxx/xx/xxx/xxx’);[/code]

Actually this happen with my old xammp.

But using wamp 2.0 this code below will also work

[code=php]echo file_get_contents(‘https://www.xxx.com/xxx/xx/xxx/xxx’);[/code]

So why does in my old xammp this code does not work?

[code=php]echo file_get_contents(‘https://www.xxx.com/xxx/xx/xxx/xxx’);[/code]

@NogDogApr 01.2016 — I'm guessing the non-working URL is doing a redirect, which file_get_contents() won't follow by default, in which case you may need to try something like this: https://github.com/php-vcr/php-vcr/issues/138 (though I'm more inclined to use cURL for http requests, and leave file_get_contents() for actual file system stuff).

In my old xampp, I tried this url that has .htm extension and it works.

$curl = curl_init('http://www.xxx.com/xxx/xxx/xxx.htm');

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

$page = curl_exec($curl);

curl_close($curl);

print_r($page);[/QUOTE]

But if the url does not have extension, it won't work.
$curl = curl_init('http://www.xxx.com/xxx/xxx/xxx');[/QUOTE]

But on wamp 2.0, even(using curl) if the url does not have extension, it will still work.

Maybe the problem is the curl that my xampp uses? Does this php curl have different versions?

@anishgiriauthorApr 04.2016 — Looking a bit further, I realize that url with https are the one that is not working with my old xamp. This is a ssl cert issue

I tried adding [B]curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);[/B] But it still does not work.


[code=php]$curl = curl_init('https://www.xxxx.com/xxx/xxx');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
$page = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
print_r($page[/code]

Success!
