PHP獲取遠程文件
if(!($contents=file_get_contents('http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AMZN&e=.csv&f=slldltlclohgv'))){
die('fail to open yahoo');
};
echo $contents;


為什么平均要刷新3-4下才有一次成功，其他都會出現(xiàn)一個警告，提示 HTTP request failed!

file_get_contents can do a POST, create a context for that first:

$opts = array('http' =>
  array(
    'method'  => 'POST',
    'header'  => "Content-Type: text/xml\r\n".
      "Authorization: Basic ".base64_encode("$https_user:$https_password")."\r\n",
    'content' => $body,
    'timeout' => 60
  )
);
                        
$context  = stream_context_create($opts);
$url = 'https://'.$https_server;
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context, -1, 40000);

For those having this problem when trying to get_file_contents(url):

Warning: file_get_contents(url): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed!  in xx on line yy

If you are behind a SonicWall firewall, read this:
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40197
(this little line: uncheck a box in the internal settings of the firewall labled "Enforce Host Tag Search with for CFS")

Apparently by default SonicWall blocks any HTTP request without a "Host:" header, which is the case in the PHP get_file_contents(url) implementation.

This is why, if you try to get the same URL from the same machine with cURL our wget, it works.

I hope this will be useful to someone, it took me hours to find out :)

I experienced a problem in using hostnames instead straight IP with some server destinations.

If i use file_get_contents("www.jbossServer.example/app1",...)
i will get an 'Invalid hostname' from the server i'm calling.

This is because file_get_contents probably will rewrite your request after getting the IP, obtaining the same thing as :
file_get_contents("xxx.yyy.www.zzz/app1",...)

And you know that many servers will deny you access if you go through IP addressing in the request.

With cURL this problem doesn't exists. It resolves the hostname leaving the request as you set it, so the server is not rude in response. <div class="clear">
                 
              
              
        
            </div>
