Re: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed

So,. I'm making a spider that opens a text of URL's and goes to each one and retreives the title so far, going to have it do more later..

The problem I'm having happens on some URL's I get this error:

Warning: file(http://www.ravinriley.com/Teen-Babe/galleries/Raven-Riley/1/14/849358 ): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /var/hsphere/local/home/myaccount/mydomain.info/censored.php on line 18
Warning: implode(): Bad arguments. in /var/hsphere/local/home/myaccount/mydomain.info/grab.php on line 19

anyways that is the 811'th URL its went to so i'm pretty sure its not my script .. happens on that URL each time.
My script keeps going working fine on most URL's and erroring on others.

I was wondering if anyone knows why that would happen on some URL's and not others ?

here is that part of the code that produces the error

<?php

$second = "http://www.ravenriley.com/Teen-Babe/galleries/Raven-Riley/1/14/849358";
$fhandle= file($second);
$content= implode('', $fhandle);

?>

Also does anyone know any way I can have it not show the errors, other than editing a php setting file since I'm on virtual hosting?

Thx 🙂

it happens on other url's that arent 404 as well

weird

instead of using file and then implode, you can use file_get_contents, this grabs the contents of the file or url and puts them in a variable, eliminating that one step.
i know the thing about fhg's is that a lot of times they will change them, or they redirect the url so its in a shorter format with your affiliate code.
best thing to do to supress errors, is tack an @ in front of the function call that may produce an error. then you will need to check yourself and make sure there wasnt an error before proceeding.

also i noticed the one url is spelled (incorrectly) ravinriley and the other ravenriley. might have been an error on the person typing up the list.

side note: do you run any tgps or mostly just submit galleries?

thx for the help

after you told me via AIM how to prevent the errors from showing
ini_set('error_reporting', E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & E_WARNING);

I noticed it left a variable blank so I used a if else statement in my script now it works fine
