Wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0.

Question

Problem :

I have very recently started earning PHP. Now I am facing below error if I try to run the script. Please find the error message as below for your reference.

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration by allow_url_fopen=0 in /home/satoship/public_html/connect.php on line 22

I have done the required research on this error and now I know this is the server related issue but still I am unaware of the steps those I need to take to fix above server error.

I had faced this issue in the past. I had also done a lot of research and found solution on it. So to fix my issue I wrote below function and it fixed my issue. You can also use below function to fix your issue.

<?php
$phpurl = "http://www.example.org/";
$phpch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($phpch, CURLOPT_URL, $phpurl);
curl_setopt ($phpch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);
curl_setopt ($phpch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$phpcontents = curl_exec($phpch);
if (curl_errno($phpch)) {
  echo curl_error($phpch);
  echo "\n<br />";
  $phpcontents = '';
} else {
  curl_close($phpch);
}

if (!is_string($phpcontents) || !strlen($phpcontents)) {
echo "Failed to get the required phpcontents.";
$phpcontents = '';
}

echo $phpcontents;
?>

Also you need to edit your php.ini and you need to find allow_url_fopen in it and set it to allow_url_fopen = 1

Hope above solution helps.
