Is there any function alternative file_get_contents ?

[2CODE]

For security reasons this function has been disabled on my server (As my sys admin said) but I really want this function on my script, So is there any function alternative it ? cURL or fopen.

if you could please convert it to the alternative function will be much appreciated 🙂

$read = file_get_contents('http://www.google.com/');
echo $read;

What are the security reasons cited? Chances are, they apply to whatever alternative there is, or they are simply delusional to begin with.

Clearly, you have some idea of possible alternatives. Try them.

I would expect it more likely not that the function itself was disabled (though it is possible to do so), but rather that the allow_url_fopen setting is turned off, disabling the use of URL's in file functions. If that is the case, the the cURL functions would be the most likely substitute -- assuming that extension has not been disabled.

Thanks, Could you please laserlight to convert the above file_get_contents code to cURL or fopen function ? Thanks in advance.

while you wait, how about reading the manual and trying yourself.

you can try snoopy,... its simple and fast..
sometimes double the curl speed on certain server...

you can download the file here...
http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopy/files/Snoopy/Snoopy-1.2.4/Snoopy-1.2.4.zip/download
its just 1 file called snoopy.class.php

how to use?

$url = "http://www.google.com/";
include_once('Snoopy.class.php');
$snoop = new Snoopy();
$snoop->fetch($url);
$f = $snoop->results;

echo $f;

Thats it! 🙂

I done it with cURL
but unfortunate, URL file-access is disabled from my server and also curl, Looks like I'll move hosts and use cURL or file_get_contents.
