I have a WordPress site that supports IFRAME codes for certain content. I want for other sites to be able to request an embed code for a given post with a query var.
Example:
echo file_get_contents("mysite.com/?get_embed_code=123");
Result:
<iframe src="mysite.com/permalink-to-post/123"></iframe>
It works on other people’s sites, but not on my own. Another site can use file_get_contents() to request a response from mysite.com, but mysite.com cannot, as it runs into a looping error.
- With cURL it crashes the server.
- With
file_get_contentsit waits and then returns"unable to establish database connection".
Any ideas on ways to approach this that work on my own server as well as on others?
Perhaps you will need to modify your php.ini file to change
allow_url_fopen.If you can’t modify your php.ini file or that is not an option then you have 2 other options:
fsockopen(), or cURL.
