I am building a php client that sends a get to a server, which sends back a JSON object. I have tried to accomplish this two ways: using the file_get_contents()
function or using cUrl. My cUrl code looks like this:
$ch = curl_init($theURL);
if (! $ch) {
die( "Cannot allocate a new PHP-CURL handle" );
}
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$returnedJSON = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
The cool thing is that it works perfectly when I'm using Chrome. However, whenever I try to run the website on IE or firefox, neither method works correctly. Any ideas on why this would be the case?
