allow_url_fopen=Off recently changed

Colinsher

Hi

I have a script that operated successfully until the host provider changed the php.ini to allow_url_fopen=Off recently changed, (it was until then allow_url_fopen=On)

It basically pulls in pages from another website and strips away and makes some changes to the html.

Although the host provider says we can fall back on the curl functions,

This is all a little over my head.

Is there anyone who can help with this, as it is quite urgent ( for a fee of course)

Regards
Colin

Shouldn't be too difficult to change your code - example below:

Or change to a provider who does allow it?

Yes, because that wouldn't be a massive kneejerk reaction that would introduce an whole myriad of new problems; such as setting up databases afresh, checking everything else you have works on a new host, new uptimes, data center policies, support contracts, usernames, passwords, control panels...

Honestly bk, bit of a sledge hammer to crack a nut suggestion.
