file_get_contents returns 403 forbidden
- by absk
I am trying to make a sitescraper. I made it on my local machine and it works very fine there. When I execute the same on my server, it shows a 403 forbidden error.
I am using the PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser. The error I get on the server is this:
Warning:
file_get_contents(http://example.com/viewProperty.html?id=7715888)
[function.file-get-contents]: failed
to open stream: HTTP request failed!
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in
/home/scraping/simple_html_dom.php on
line 40
The line of code triggering it is:
$url="http://www.example.com/viewProperty.html?id=".$id;
$html=file_get_html($url);
I have checked the php.ini on the server and allow_url_fopen is On. Possible solution can be using curl, but I need to know where I am going wrong.
