PHP Error: File Get Contents Failed

  • Thread starter jim mcnamara

In summary, there have been reports of a php problem causing errors related to the file_get_contents function on several different networks. This issue has been seen for two days and may be related to trouble with connectivity. However, the problem seems to have corrected itself and it is believed to be an issue with the feed being unavailable rather than an error on the user's or the server's end. Suggestions have been made to display a temporary message when the feed is unavailable.

Greg and/or Warren -

php has a problem. A raft of these errors have shown up on several different PC's on completely unrelated networks. Been seeing it for two days. I'm betting you know about it... anyway, you do now for sure.

The error is not on your or our end. That error is when is a feed is for whatever reason unavailable. Usually they get the feeds back online quickly.

Are you able to except the error, and put some sort of default "feeds are temporarily unavailable at the moment" message?
