Don't forget to parse $http_response_header
​This StackOverflow answer gives an example of the output of $http_response_header. You should look for or parse for the "200" HTTP status code, or alternatively use php's error_get_last() to see if file_get_contents threw an error.Error handling
1
<?php
2
​
3
//Call after file_get_contents
4
​
5
$lastError = error_get_last();
6
if (is_null($lastError)) {
7
    // file_get_contents worked successfully
8
} else {    // We failed, see the contents of the error
9
    var_dump($lastError);
10
}
11
​

?>

Using SSL (Recommended)
If you want to use SSL with file_get_contents, you need to enable the php_openssl extension. To do that, you must edit your php.ini file and add the proper line to the Dynamic Extensions section.
1
extension=php_openssl.dll ; For Windows
2
extension=php_openssl.so  ; For UNIX
