Using CURL to get File Contents returns 404 File not found

Here is the script

<?php 
function file_get_contents_curl($url) {
    $ch = curl_init();

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, TRUE);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);       

    $data = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
	echo $data;
}
file_get_contents_curl('http://mediaridge.com/script/twitterapp.php');
?>

but yet it returns 404 file not found... here is a test page:

http://mediaridge.com/test1.php

Hi,

Your code is fine and I am able to fetch the json data. did you check the file: http://mediaridge.com/test1.php is there in the server?? It looks like the test1.php file is not there in the server.

shobinsun

Hi,

Also check whether the test1.php having the file execute permission or not.

i added an echo line to test1.php and yes it is reading the file correctly.. take a look:

echo 'is the file here?';

Hi,

Sometimes a website will block crawlers(from remote servers) from getting to their pages.
What they do to work around this is spoof a browsers headers. Like pretend to be Mozilla Firefox instead of the sneaky PHP web scraper they are. You can use the line below with the code:

$userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13';

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent);

Full code:

<?php
function file_get_contents_curl($url) {
$userAgent = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13';

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, $userAgent);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, TRUE);

$data = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
echo $data;
}
file_get_contents_curl('http://mediaridge.com/script/twitterapp.php');
?>

Try this.

tried that same thing....

shobinsun

hmmmm. Might be some issue with the hosting! Please contact ur hosting provider.

try this also:

file_get_contents_curl('http://mediaridge.com/script/twitterapp.php', FILE_USE_INCLUDE_PATH);

This is what I find at the URL http://mediaridge.com/test1.php. Is this what you expect to read with cURL?

is the file here?<HTML>

   - Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new

No It should be pulling in the Json data from http://mediaridge.com/script/twitterapp.php

From the function above

Ray Paseur

Just scratching my head... If what you want is from a URL with twitterapp.php, why would I be thinking I should use a different test page? Must not have had enough coffee. Try changing out the URL, maybe?

Are you able to pull the data using the same function above from your server? I'm wondering if I need to look at my server settings and tweak something (my pho info page is listed above) I run my own DV so I have some control to change things.

Ray Paseur

To see what I am able to get from the script I posted above, please see:
http://www.iconoun.com/demo/temp_jporter80.php

Before you start making any server changes, you might try copying that script from the code snippet and installing it on your server. You may find that it runs and gets the JSON data. If it does not, then we can look into the reasons why it worked on my server and failed in a different environment.

jporter80

ASKER

looks like a server setting problem.. if i go to a json file outside of the server like this url: http://beerchow.com/craftbeer/data/tijson.php

it works. (beerchow.com is on a diferent DV)

Dont know which setting is causing the issue though... CURL is enabled

jporter80

ASKER

here is your script running on http://mediaridge.com/test2.php .... no dice.

The beerchow URL works fine for me, too.

Looks like the script at http://mediaridge.com/test2.php is reading from this URL:
http://mediaridge.com/test1.php

If that's not the URL you want, just change the script to point it to a different URL.

i dont know if i know what im talking about or not... but what Port does CURL use when running this script?

I know i have restricted some ports (if i remember correctly) and only allow SFTP access. This was done a while back to get PCI compliance

Would this have anything? what should i test if this is the case?

Ray Paseur

Please see this link, which contains the code that I copied verbatim from the code snippet at ID: 39903325

My guess is that you may be testing the wrong script?

Strange. Have you tried this with a relative link to the page, not using the full URL? How about file_get_contents() for the same URL?

relative link doesnt work and cant use file_get_contents()

Ray Paseur

"Doesn't work" is not an error message, so we can't really help until we know what actually happens. What happens when you use file_get_contents()? I could see nothing in the phpinfo() that would indicate it should not work. Do you have error_reporting(E_ALL) set? Do you get anything in the error logs?

Curling using the IP was the only way it worked
