The use of file_get_contents within PHP is not allowed on our Web hosting platforms due to security reasons we advise all customers to use CURL, an example can be found below;
function file_get_contents_workaround($url)
{
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, TRUE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, FALSE);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
$data = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
return $data;
}
