file_get_contents/curl alternative - El Forum - 11-18-2010

Hello,
I'm developing an application which is using a customer IIS server.
On the server "allow_url_fopen" is off and curl extension is not installed
What can i use instead of file_get_contents?
Thanks

Hm, your options are a bit limited then.
Ajax / jQuery may do the trick.
Cheers,

Can't use JS cross-domain unless the target trusts you.
If you have access to the source you are trying to fetch, you can use many other alternatives like json, soap, xml etc.
