Problem with file_get_contents

Hi,

I am trying to use a site translator but i am having problems as my server does not accept the function file_get_contents.

I need to use curl with this really but when i tried changing file_get_contents to curl_init i get an error stating Wrong parameter count

   $html = file_get_contents("http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&langpair=$lang&u=" . urlencode($_GET["u"]) . "&prev=/language_tools");

Code (markup):

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Adam

 

Why are you doing it this way instead of direct links to the Google translator?

<?php
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&langpair=$lang&u=" . urlencode($_GET["u"]) . "&prev=/language_tools");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$html = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
?>

PHP:

 

Why dont you use file instaed ?

php.net/file

 

If file_get_contents() is not supported/enabled, then neither is file(), it is most likely due to file handling functions being disabled for security reasons. Unless it is PHP4 < 4.3...

 

Hi,

Thank you for your replies, i am doing it this way as it will not display the google translator banner and looks like part of the site.

I tried your example krt but still comes back saying:

Warning: Wrong parameter count for curl_exec()

 

$html = curl_exec();

PHP:

Should be:

$html = curl_exec($ch);

PHP:

 

Cheers everyone, works fine now
