[function.file]: failed to open stream

Hi. Sorry I'm new to PHP

I am testing out a script to send a message to my Nabaztag but i keep getting the following error

Warning: file(http://www.nabaztag.com/vl/FR/api.jsp?sn=0013D380F8FA&token=1207718018&tts=df) [function.file]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found in /home/content/d/a/n/danieljcooper/html/testing/index.php on line 114

The script is located at http://www.danieljcooper.co.uk/testing

<?php

//Set default values
if ($sn == "") {$sn = "0013D380F8FA";}
if ($tkn == "") {$tkn = "1207718018";}

//If no positions found set some value
if ($l_ear == "") 
{
  $l_ear = "No value set";
  $r_ear = "No value set";
  $speak = "No value set";
}


//Display current status
echo "

It means the url you open is not found. Just try to open it in your browser and you'll get 404 error. You have to replace the url with correct one.

 

It is a dynamic file. so i think the file function failes to get it into array.
First create the file and store it in a unique name, like cddd.php then take the array.

thanks

 

Thanks I forgot to check the URL. Its all working now.
