Forum Archive - php file_get_contents() usage

Hi. I think this issue is related to a old one posted, but I will try to explain from the beginning. I need to use the following code in a page on my main (no-translated) domain casinobonuscenter.com: <?php $desc_esp = file_get_contents("http://es.casinobonuscenter.com/dsctranslate.php?linkid=44"); echo $desc_esp; ?> to read and show some content from a translated page (served by gtranslate). This code is yet on the following url: http://casinobonuscenter.com/traduc-cron/getfile.php As you can see, I can't read the content of the translated page. My hosting provider is telling me as follow: ====Start quote http://casinobonuscenter.com/traduc-cron/getfile.php is not accessible from your VPS because they have firewall, blocking the connection: bash-4.1# wget http://es.casinobonuscenter.com/dsctran ... ?linkid=44 --2014-04-10 16:36:23-- http://es.casinobonuscenter.com/dsctran ... ?linkid=44 Resolving es.casinobonuscenter.com... 94.23.220.123 Connecting to es.casinobonuscenter.com|94.23.220.123|:80... failed: Connection timed out.

I know you don't have firewalls or blocking the IP, but do you have a possible solution or suggestion?

Hi, I would suggest to place your script on a different server and modify your current script to call the script on the other server which will get the needed data. If your purpose is to setup a cron script which will access translated pages to make the translation process faster, then just set it up on a different server. Also, make sure that you won't send too many requests to our server and overload it if you don't want to get blocked by our system. Thanks!

Thank you. Yes, I like to use cron to access some translated text faster. I will use this for about 400 pages (text only) all similar to this one: http://es.casinobonuscenter.com/dsctran ... ?linkid=35 and for 4 languages, so I will request about 1600 pages. But this will be only once because after that I will check every 12 hours and I will request only modified pages...

You need to make sure that you do less than 10 requests per second. Thanks!
