WampServer

Hi all,

I've been trying to find a solution for this problem all afternoon, but can't seem to fix it. I'm trying to access files through file_get_contents but keep being shown the following error:

failed to open stream: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I'm just trying to read [www.example.com] - so there shouldn't be any problems.

Does anyone know what could cause this? I've made sure the allow_url_fopen is set to On in php.ini and checked other settings, but still keep getting the error.

Could anyone help please?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,

With :
- Wampmanager tray icon -> PHP -> PHP settings -> allow url fopen checked
this code works fine with no error or warning.

<?php
$homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/');
echo $homepage;
?>

That's strange, I checked to see if that option was checked and it was.

Could this be related to my local internet settings do you think?

Thanks!

Hi,

I do not think so. The denial of access is really from example.com
Maybe your IP or your Internet service provider is blacklisted.

Is that all of the error message you are getting?

I would expect a bit more that would identify the PHP file and the line in the file where the error is happening??
