file_get_contents not working?

Question

This code is not working to server. But It is working to my localhost (xampp) ``` $url = file_get_contents('http://www.site.com/'); $xhtml='| (.+?)(.+?) |i'; preg_match_all($xhtml,$url,$score); array_shift($score); echo"

"; print_r($score); echo"

"; ``` It prints another scores when I change the code like this. Because there are two rows like this. It has same codes. by the way below code works to server. ``` $xhtml='|(.+?)(.+?)|i'; ``` I need to take this two values between code. ``` allow_url_fopen = on ```

Accepted Answer

Try this function in place of file_get_contents():

```
<?php

function curl_get_contents($url)
{
    $ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);

$data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);

return $data;
}
```

It can be used just like file_get_contents(), but uses cURL.

Install cURL on Ubuntu (or other unix-like operating system with aptitude):

```
sudo apt-get install php5-curl
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
```
