file_get_contents() failing on CentOS.

Hi.

I'm trying to help a friend with a CentOS setup.

He's installed PHP and SOAP using yum install php-soap and he is
having problems.

I assisted in the developed the php script he is using and it is
working fine on Windows.

In testing, we can do ...

# wget http://www.php.net

but not ...

# php -r "echo file_get_contents('http://www.php.net');"
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.php.net): failed to open
stream: HTTP request failed! in Command line code on line 1


I've checked allow_url_fopen and that is set to 1

As a test ...

# php -d allow_url_fopen=1 -r "echo file_get_contents('http://www.php.net');"
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.php.net): failed to open
stream: HTTP request failed! in Command line code on line 1
(This works fine on windows system)

# php -d allow_url_fopen=0 -r "echo file_get_contents('http://www.php.net');"
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the
server configuration in Command line code on line 1
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.php.net): failed to open
stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in Command line code on
line 1

Neither will actually return the contents.

Considering wget works and PHP doesn't _AND_ that this is linux, I'm lost.

Wireshark shoes no communication at all when PHP is used to try and
get to www.php.net, but it does show everything accurately when using
wget.

I've got the output of php -i and of the debug data from wget.

So. Any pointers, suggestions, things to read/try/etc.

Regards,

Richard.

Thanks for that. I've passed the details on.

OOI, wget uses HTTP/1.1 ...

---request begin---
GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Wget/1.11.4 Red Hat modified
Accept: */*
Host: www.php.net
Connection: Keep-Alive


The bug report certainly matches the behaviour.

Re: file_get_contents() failing on CentOS.

probably not the issue, but is the php engine behind a proxy server ?
wget uses the environment variable, but PHP does not

http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.stream-context-get-de fault.php#72086

Could help to some degree. Not sure if SOAPClient will go through the
context, though there is a 'stream_context' parameter that can be set
....

All passed on.

Re: file_get_contents() failing on CentOS.

The issue _WAS_ the firewall.

All sorted.

Thank you.
