I am trying to get details for bans on a Steam user account using the file_get_contents function in PHP. However, it keeps erroring and I have no idea why:
$detailURL = file_get_contents("http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerBans/v1/?key=3C11B751BB59DEEE28D744C0A8BAC2EC&steamids=76561198078737264");
$profile = file_get_contents($detailURL);
$buffer = fopen("coOn4LxnQm/{$steamIDpost}.json", "w+");
fwrite($buffer, $profile);
fclose($buffer);
$steam = json_decode(file_get_contents("coOn4LxnQm/{$steamIDpost}.json"));
The error is as follows:
Warning: file_get_contents({ "players": [ { "SteamId": "76561198078737264", "CommunityBanned": false, "VACBanned": true, "NumberOfVACBans": 1, "DaysSinceLastBan": 309, "NumberOfGameBans": 0, "EconomyBan": "none" } ] }): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in C:\xampp\htdocs\addToList.php on line 18
If you have any idea, please help me. No idea what "failed to open stream: Invalid argument" means and googling and such did not help much.
Thanks.
After this line
$detailURL = file_get_contents("http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUser/GetPlayerBans/v1/?key=3C11B751BB59DEEE28D744C0A8BAC2EC&steamids=76561198078737264");
$detailURL will now contain the result from the API (a JSON String)
If you have a look at this line:
$profile = file_get_contents($detailURL);
This line is doing a file_get_contents on a JSON String, and it has no sense.

I am trying to the status of urls which are stored in a text file
in my code i have:
$filestatus = file("urlsmartins_status.txt");
foreach ($filestatus as $filestate){
$filestatusurl = (file_get_contents("$filestate"));
$filestatusurlxml = new SimpleXMLElement ($filestatusurl);
print_r ($filestatusurlxml);
}
in the urlsmartin_status.txt i have 5 urls written
http://172.27.73.5:8080/api/service/
http://172.27.73.6:8080/api/service/
http://172.27.73.7:8080/api/service/
http://172.27.73.8:8080/api/service/
But when i execute the code i have the following result
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://172.27.73.5:8080/api/service/
): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 OK
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'String could not be parsed as XML' in ...
Stack trace:

thrown in /opt/rh/httpd24/root/var/www/html/pub/martin.php on line 56
What am i missing here?
Thanks
the problem here is that the lines in your file are not "XML", hence SimpleXMLElement cannot be instantiated.
I get the same error like this:
I managed to fix it via
$filedata = file_get_contents('urlsmartins_status.txt');
$urls = explode("\n", trim($filedata));
foreach($urls as $key => $url) {
$filestatusurl = file_get_contents("$url");
$filestatusurlxml = new SimpleXMLElement ($filestatusurl);
print_r ($filestatusurlxml);
The problem I am experiencing is below:
Warning: file_get_contents(): Unable to find the wrapper "https" -
did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP? in
<b>C:\xampp\htdocs\test_crawl\simple_html_dom.php</b> on line <b>75</b><br

I did some research and I found a few posts that said uncommenting extension=php_openssl.dll in php.ini works but when I did and restarted my server it did not.The script I am used is below:
$url = 'https://yahoo.com'
function CrawlMe($url)
{
$html = file_get_html($url);
return json_encode($html);
}
Not sure why it's not working would appreciate your help..
Below is the function that's erroring out at $contents = file_get_contents($url, $use_include_path, $context, $offset);
function file_get_html($url, $use_include_path = false, $context=null,
$offset = -1, $maxLen=-1, $lowercase = true, $forceTagsClosed=true,
$target_charset = DEFAULT_TARGET_CHARSET, $stripRN=true,
$defaultBRText=DEFAULT_BR_TEXT, $defaultSpanText=DEFAULT_SPAN_TEXT)
{
// We DO force the tags to be terminated.
$dom = new simple_html_dom(null, $lowercase, $forceTagsClosed,
$target_charset, $stripRN, $defaultBRText, $defaultSpanText);
// For sourceforge users: uncomment the next line and comment the
// retreive_url_contents line 2 lines down if it is not already done.
$contents = file_get_contents($url, $use_include_path, $context, $offset);
// Paperg - use our own mechanism for getting the contents as we want to
control the timeout.
//$contents = retrieve_url_contents($url);
if (empty($contents) || strlen($contents) > MAX_FILE_SIZE)
{
return false;
}
// The second parameter can force the selectors to all be lowercase.
$dom->load($contents, $lowercase, $stripRN);
return $dom;
}
Whats on line 75 of simple_html_dom.php? From what you have posted all I can say is
$url = 'https://yahoo.com'
is missing a semi colon, it should be:
$url = 'https://yahoo.com';
--Edit after seeing the code...
You are setting the offset to -1. which means start reading from the end of the file. As per the documentation
Seeking (offset) is not supported with remote files. Attempting to
seek on non-local files may work with small offsets, but this is
unpredictable because it works on the buffered stream.
Your maxlength is set to minus 1. As per the documaentation:
An E_WARNING level error is generated if filename cannot be found,
maxlength is less than zero, or if seeking to the specified offset in
the stream fails.
You don't need to specify all those parameters, this will work fine:
$file = file_get_contents('https://www.yahoo.com');
My code should convert "defindex" from array_inv into "item_name" from array_schema:
<?php
$apikey = "X";
$steamid = $steamprofile['steamid'];
$url_inv = "http://api.steampowered.com/IEconItems_730/GetPlayerItems/v0001/?language=en?key=". $apikey . "&steamid=" . $steamid . "&format=json";
$url_schema = "http://git.optf2.com/schema-tracking/plain/Counter%20Strike%20Global%20Offensive%20Schema?h=counterstrikeglobaloffensive";
$array_inv_raw = file_get_contents($url_inv);
$array_schema_raw = file_get_contents($url_schema);
$array_inv = json_decode($array_inv_raw,true);
$array_schema = json_decode($array_schema_raw,true);
foreach($array_inv['result']['items'] as $item){
foreach($array_schema['result']['items'] as $schemaItem){
if($item['defindex'] == $schemaItem['defindex']){
echo $schemaItem['item_name'].'<br />';
break;
}
}
}
?>
But it's resulting in these errors:
Warning:
file_get_contents(http://api.steampowered.com/IEconItems_730/GetPlayerItems/v0001/?language=en?key=x&steamid=76561198037897388&format=json):
failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in
/home/kartm/public_html/scripts/inv.php on line 6
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in
/home/kartm/public_html/scripts/inv.php on line 12
The urls:
array_inv
array_schema
I can't find any mistakes. Can you tell me what's wrong with this code?
These errors were caused by a typo in a url:
http://api.steampowered.com/IEconItems_730/GetPlayerItems/v0001/?language=en?key=x&steamid=76561198037897388&format=json
It should have been & key=x instead of ?key=x.
file_get_contents couldn't fetch the url, thus the foreach had an invalid, empty argument.
I have this code :
$feed = 'urltorss';
$feeds = new SimpleXmlElement( file_get_contents($feed) );
$feed = 'http://www.businessweek.com/feeds/homepage.rss';
$feeds = new SimpleXmlElement( file_get_contents($feed) );
Now both urls don't have any special characters that require url encoding them, but the 2nd url has an .rss extension if it's related.
The first call works and i get a timeout on the 2nd when i try on my server but works perfectly on localhost.
This is the error i'm getting :
Severity: Warning
Message: file_get_contents('http://www.businessweek.com/feeds/homepage.rss')
[function.file-get-contents]:
failed to open stream: Connection timed out
Filename: controllers/mailsystem.php
Line Number: 36
Why is that?
First, check your path so
echo $feed; // just for debug
then check the content
$content = #file_get_contents($feed);
and in the end, get the XML
if( $content ) { $feeds = new SimpleXmlElement( file_get_contents($feed) ); }
Edit: file_get_contents for URLs will only work if you have allow_url_fopen = 1. To get the content of http://www.businessweek.com/feeds/homepage.rss you need a cURL function that gets the content. Something like http://davidwalsh.name/curl-download
I'm trying to get latitude and longtitude from google map by giving address. But it's giving error. When I directly copy url to browser url bar. it's giving correct result. If anybody know the answer.
Here is my code.
<?php
$key = '[AIzaSyAoPgQlfKsBKQcBGB01cl8KmiPee3SmpU0]';
$opt = array (
'address' => urlencode('Kolkata,India, ON') ,
'output' => 'xml'
);
$url = 'http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q='.$opt['address'].'&output='.$opt['output'].'&oe=utf8&key='.$key;
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->load($url);
$xpath = new DomXPath($dom);
$xpath->registerNamespace('ge', 'http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0');
$statusCode = $xpath->query('//ge:Status/ge:code');
if ($statusCode->item(0)->nodeValue == '200') {
$pointStr = $xpath->query('//ge:coordinates');
$point = explode(",", $pointStr->item(0)->nodeValue);
$lat = $point[1];
$lon = $point[0];
echo '<pre>';
echo 'Lat: '.$lat.', Lon: '.$lon;
echo '</pre>';
}
?>

Check your php.ini-settings and switch it to 1.

What would cause DOMDocument.load to fail loading XML from a URL that is accessible?
