URL file-access is disabled - El Forum - 07-29-2010

[eluser]NMTeck[/eluser]
I get the below message from my server when trying to run the file_get_contents function. I've looked in over forums and it says that the most likely culprit is in the php.ini file. I made those suggested changes but nothing changed.

These are the settings in my php.ini

Code:
allow_url_fopen    On    On

allow_url_include    On    On

but I still get this

Code:
A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Warning

Message: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration

Filename: models/searchmodel.php

Line Number: 490

A PHP Error was encountered

However, if I put file_get_contents in a file that doesn't run through CI, I do not get the errors above. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks in advance.

Does it work? Or do you just not get the error message?

Yes it works and I'm able to print the XML to the screen.

And I guess I should note that I just changed servers.

Fixed. Just wanted to note that I got around this problem using the curl function instead of file_get_contents or the simplexml_load_file.

Hope this helps others in the future.

Does anything in the php.ini work? Some hosting environments are set up in a way that php.ini files don't work. My host is this way. I have to use php_value in my .htaccess.
