File_Get_Contents

[DaGeeza]

OK, simple enough command

$string = file_get_contents ( "http://www.google.com" );

And it used to work superbly! however now my computer must use a proxy server to access the internet and this doesnt work anymore!

Please does anyone know how I can tell this command to use http://myproxyserver:8080 note I also have to type in a username password and domain name when I am connecting through this, so is there a way I can put this in as well.

Thanks In Advanced

There is also a comment on how to use a proxy server there.

I wont be able to test until I am back in work... but just a little question, from the code below how will I get the source code of "www.google.com" into $string? (I am a newbie)

Based on a previous code, here is the getThroughProxy function, with proxy Basic authentification :
function getthroughproxy
($myfiles,
 $proxyhost="0.0.0.0",
 $proxyport=0,
 $proxyuser = '',
 $proxypass = ''
 )
   {
       $errno = '';
       $errstr = '';
       $datei = fsockopen($proxyhost, $proxyport, &$errno, &$errstr,30); 
       if( !$datei ) 
       {
           return array('headers'=>false,
                         'content'=>false,
                         'errno'=>$errno,
                         'errstr'=>$errstr);
       // ^^^ proxy not available
       } else 
       {
           fputs($datei,"GET $myfiles HTTP/1.0\n"); 
           if ('' !== $proxyuser)
           {                
               fputs($datei, 'Proxy-Authorization: Basic '.base64_encode("$proxyuser:$proxypass")."\n");
           }
           fputs($datei, "\n\n");
           $zeile = '';
           while (!feof($datei)) 
           {
                 $zeile =$zeile.fread($datei,4096);
           }
       }
       fclose($datei);
       return array('headers'=>substr($zeile,0,strpos($zeile,"\r\n\r\n")),
       'content'=>substr($zeile,strpos($zeile,"\r\n\r\n")+4),
       'errno'=>$errno,
       'errstr'=>$errstr);
   }
