[RESOLVED] file_get_contents File Not Found?

[artnow]

Hi all -

I have a form on my site that after it is submitted, the form contents is put into my database. I also need to send some of the data to a URL.

When I test the form after submission on the subsequent page the URL gets populated correctly but I get the following error:

I'm lost as to why the script would be looking for a file when file_get_contents is a URL.

if ( ($_POST['country'] == 'UK') && !empty($_POST['569']))
{
	$xzfield = array();
	$xzfield['FirstName'] = $_POST['first'];
	$xzfield['LastName'] = $_POST['last'];

$qs = '';

foreach ($xzfield as $k => $v)
{
	if (!empty($qs))
		$qs .= '&';

	$qs .= $k .'='. urlencode($v);
}

file_get_contents('http://www.PLACEURLHERE.com/testlead.aspx?' . $qs);
}

The request failed because the URL is incorrect - there should at least be a forward slash after the ".com" part of the URL.

Thanks for such a quick response. In the actual link that I'm using the URL does have the forward slash before the question mark. I have corrected the code above to reflect the URL as needed: http://www.PLACEURLHERE.com/testlead.aspx?

Well PHP doesn't lie, so whatever path you gave it must have returned a 404 response.

Try echo'ing the final string path instead of just passing it to file_get_contents() - paste the path into your web browser and see if it works for you.

Right you are ... PHP doesn't lie. As soon as I tried the final string path in my browser I found that it indeed was the URL ... seems the co-registration link I was given was incorrect. Hate it when spelling counts.

Thanks for your help.
