php file_get_content returing 401 on failed - php

Question

I have web app and api and my login system works with api so it retruns: header status 200 if it success(username and password are correctly) otherwise it returns HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized and json message e.x: {success: 0 , "wrong username/password"} (tested with POSTMEN plugin in google chrome)
For e.x if i want to make a request:
$method = "login";
$data = array("user"=>"test", "pass"=>"test");
send_re($method, $data);
this is my function send_re
function send_re($method, $data){
$url = "api.location/".$api_method;
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($data),
'header'=> "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"
)
);
$context = stream_context_create( $options );
$result = file_get_contents( $url, false, $context );
return stripslashes( json_encode( $result) );
}
if my $data are correctly e.x username and password but if they are not I am not getting the error message but this:
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: file_get_contents(http://85.10.229.108/home/login): failed to open stream: HTTP request
HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized
Filename: libraries/api.php
Is there any way to escape this problem and get the message from api?

Answer 1

function send_re($method, $data){
$url = "api.location/".$api_method;
$options = array(
'http' => array(
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => http_build_query($data),
'header'=> "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n",
'ignore_errors' => true
)
);
$context = stream_context_create( $options );
$result = file_get_contents( $url, false, $context );
return stripslashes( json_encode( $result) );
}
Just add 'ignore_errors' => true and it's do the trick.
