file_get_contents failure content

[Vbabiy]

Hey guys,

Is there any way to get the content of the body when doing a HTTP request using file_get_contents, by default it returns False but I would like to see the content of that error.

Thanks.

If you set error_reporting to an applicable level, then an error should be displayed if you have display_errors turned on, or else logged to your PHP error log (much preferable for the production version, of course). For a quick debug, add this to the code anywhere before the call:

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Also, for the above to work, make sure you are not suppressing errors via a "@" before the file_get_contents() call.

If any data was received by the file_get_contents(), I am not sure that you would have gotten a boolean false result (though I cannot claim to be 100% sure about that). If you want to track down HTTP response headers and such, you're probably better off using the [man]cURL[/man] functions and its error-reporting support.
