Is there an alternative to the file_get_contents () function?

Question

On my web hosting server the feature is file_get_contents()disabled. I am looking for an alternative. please, help

Answer 1

file_get_contents () pretty much does the following:

$filename = "/usr/local/something.txt";
$handle = fopen($filename, "r");
$contents = fread($handle, filesize($filename));
fclose($handle);

Since file_get_contents () is disabled, I'm sure the above will not work.

Depending on what you are trying to read, and in my experience hosts usually disable reading of deleted files, you may have other options. If you are trying to read deleted files (over the network, i.e. http, etc.), you can look in the library functions in cURL

fopen, ? , cURL ? http://php.net/manual/en/book.curl.php

.

function ff_get($f) {
        if (!file_exists($f)) { return false; }
        $result = @file_get_contents($f);
        if ($result) { return $result; }
        else {
            $handle = @fopen($f, "r");
            $contents = @fread($handle, @filesize($f));
            @fclose($handle);
            if ($contents) { return $contents; }
            else if (!function_exists('curl_init')) { return false; }
            else {
                $ch = @curl_init();
                @curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $f);
                @curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
                $output = @curl_exec($ch);
                @curl_close($ch);
                if ($output) { return $output; }
                else { return false; }}}}

Answer 8

If all you are trying to do is initiate a hit on the given URL and you don’t need to read the output you can use curl (), provided that your website is turned on on your server.

The documentation here gives an example of calling url using curl.

Answer 9

If all else fails, there is always cURL. There was a good opportunity to install.
