file_get_contents HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable - php

I have a php script that will return a google search but it gives me the HTTP error.
if (strstr(file_get_contents("http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://". $url ."&gws_rd=ssl"), 'did not match any documents.'))
{
return "No";
}
else {
return "Yes";
}
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: file_get_contents(http://www.google.com/search?q=site:http://google.com&gws_rd=ssl): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable
Filename: libraries/google_index.php
Line Number: 8
error : HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 503 Service Unavailable.
how can i force this or something so it will get the contents.


If you put an URL as GET parameter of another URL, you must urlencode() it. Otherwise, some characters like ? or & will be considered as parts of the main URL.


Try encoding the whole URL, like:
$string = "google.com/search?q=site:". urlencode($url ."&gws_rd=ssl")

Error handling file get contents

I am trying to create a simple script with file_get_contents and Facebook graph. However, there seems to be some issue with the error handling.
Here is the code I have:
$json = file_get_contents('https://graph.facebook.com/', true);
if($json !== FALSE) {
echo "test";
}
It returns the following error message:
Warning: file_get_contents(https://graph.facebook.com/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request in /home/test/tst/mellemmand/test.php on line 4

PHP failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! 503 error

I am using PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser to get a data from a website. I call this following function in a while loop say for example 15 actors data to be scraped. what happens is after scraping data for 5 or 6 or somewhere in loop, it fails to open the stream and breaks the script. I used try and catch function. but still i am not to fix it out. Actually my need is even if it fails in the middle of a loop, it has to go on till the end. Can anyone assit me pls.
function get_data($actor) {
try {
$html = file_get_html('http://someurl.com', false, $context);
if (isset($html)) {
$table1 =$html->find('table.table_border',0) ;
// doing some process here
}
} catch(Exception $e) {
echo $tt_id."-Failed once.<br>";
}
}
Sometimes i am getting the following error and the script stops.
Warning: file_get_contents(http://someurl.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable
Fatal error: Call to a member function find() on a non-object in somefile.php on line 37

Reverse Geocoding in PHP request

I would like to Reverse Geocoding (from GPS coordinates to addresses) and I have a http request from Google Api and is :
$StringaCo= file_get_contents('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng='. $x . ', '.$y.'&sensor=false&location_type=ROOFTOP&result_type=street_address&key=AIzaSyDX7vrxKQI2cHWLS7aghb1ORv1dRX_yQSk');
and I process this http request with :
$StringL= json_decode($StringaCo);
now I want to print all with :
print_r($StringL);
but I received this error :
Warning : file_get_contents(https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=41.805931099999995, 12.432546499999999&sensor=false&location_type=ROOFTOP&result_type=street_address&key=AIzaSyDX7vrxKQI2cHWLS7aghb1ORv1dRX_yQSk): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request.
Could someone, please, help me?

change:
$StringaCo= file_get_contents('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng='.$x.', '.$y.'&sensor=false&location_type=ROOFTOP&result_type=street_address&key=AIzaSyDX7vrxKQI2cHWLS7aghb1ORv1dRX_yQSk');
to:
$StringaCo= file_get_contents('https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng='. $x.','.$y.'&sensor=false&location_type=ROOFTOP&result_type=street_address&key=AIzaSyDX7vrxKQI2cHWLS7aghb1ORv1dRX_yQSk');
you need remove extra space after comma

PHP changes the file_get_contents param url

I'm using the following line with to get the page content:
$handle = file_get_contents(
"http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?show=users&action=msg&section=send",
NULL,
NULL,
1000,
19000);
And then, I'm getting the following message:
Warning:
file_get_contents(http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?show=users&action=msg §ion=send):
failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden
(Please take a note at the bolded part).
What happened to it? Why does it changes the url param?

I don't think PHP is changing querystring parameters.
If you are reading that message in the browser, it should be just a matter of how the output is HTML formatted. So, the 403 error you are getting it should not be related to some unwanted url transformation.

Please help me, modify contact details..

HTTP/1.0 400 Bad request - everything you need to know: You are sending a request the server doesn't like.
Are you sure it accepts a GET request and doesn't require POST? Is the URL correct?

Your URL is wrong. You have an additional space character: &name=$name &company=$company. Remove it.
