file_get_contents（）不适用于本地服务器上的文件并通过http访问

Question

I'm having problems with a wordpress plugin which works with file_get_contents() The plugin author said this:

"There is a problem with the way file_get_contents() is configured to work on your server. This is the core PHP function which the Wordpress function wp_remote_get() uses. This function is vital to incorporate any file that is not a part of Wordpress Media library.

The problem with file_get_contents() is that it is not working for files which are there on your local server and accessed via http."

Can anyone tell me what to do or have some spare time to help me? I am not a programmer and have no idea on how to solve this. The hosting company said that the don't offer support for software related issues, pffff!

Best Regards, Gabriel

Solved this by using CURL. Here's the code. It will work with remote files e.g. http://yourdomain.com/file.ext

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, ''.$file_path_str.'');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, sprintf("Mozilla/%d.0",rand(4,5)));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 10);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

$curl_response_res = curl_exec ($ch);
curl_close ($ch);

Thanks
