Getting error while calling [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream

Hi,
I have used the following code

<?php
	$db	= mysql_connect("localhost", "db_user", "hotnwild");
	mysql_select_db("db_temp", $db);
	$id = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table",$db);
	while ($check = mysql_fetch_assoc($id)){
		$new_id=$check['id'];
		$result = file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/'.$new_id);
		if ($result == 'false') mysql_query("delete from table WHERE id = '$new_id'",$db);
	}
?>

Code (markup):

while using this code facing an error

"Warning: file_get_contents(http://graph.facebook.com/240163152769863) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden in /home/dbstore/public_html/check.php on line 8"

 

I am guessing you are trying to check to get users details using the facebook userid/name.
But if you are wanting to delete the user if the request fails and doesn't exist then you can use @file_get_contents instead which will suppress any errors that it comes across.


However if you should be getting a result and you are for some reason being forbidden access, then this could be another problem, possibly down to your hosts settings.
I will try your code on my hosting and post my results in a few moments.

 

After trying to code on my hosting it works perfectly fine.
So I can only thing there is some configuration on your hosting, stopping you from accessing that url.
Have you tried cURL instead of file_get_contents?
Here is the code I used (for reference):

<?php    
//$db    = mysql_connect("localhost", "db_user", "hotnwild");    
//mysql_select_db("db_temp", $db);    
//$id = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table",$db);    
//while ($check = mysql_fetch_assoc($id))
{        
$new_id='240163152769863';        
$result = file_get_contents('http://graph.facebook.com/'.$new_id);        
if ($result == 'false') 
//mysql_query("delete from table WHERE id = '$new_id'",$db);        
{            
echo "false";        
}        
else        
{           
echo "true";        
}    
//}
?>

PHP:

here is a demo: http://tutorial-resource.com/testing/fbgraph.php

 

A lot of web hosts will disable the use of file_get_contents() for remote files as it can be a security risk.

Use cURL. If you can't use cURL then use a SOCKET function.
