I'm not sure why you're got the call the base_url() in there. Using base_url() is probably causing the problem, as you're trying to open a URL with
file_get_contents(). You can use:
Code:
$data = file_get_contents('path/to/file.txt);
to get the file contents.
If you really must get the contents of a URL, you can use
stream_get_contents()
