Hello, I have a sub-domain on a free hosting site. It is a team site for another browser based game I play (written in perl if that matters). I have recently learned PHP and decided to write a script to take info from my team page and put it on my site. However when I do so, I get an error message stating: Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file- get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/www/mbbombers.awardspace.com/testing.p hp on line 2 Is this a problem on the hosting site (awardspace) or on the game I play? Here is my PHP script: <? if ($source = file_get_contents("http://goallineblitz.com/ game/team.pl?team_id=4819")) { $search = "Cash"; $newText = substr($source,strpos($source, $search)+strlen($search), 16); echo $newText; } else { echo "Error : Could not retrive data, please contact administrator"; } ?>

Edit: Here is my new debbuged code: <? if ($source = file_get_contents("http://goallineblitz.com/g ame/team.pl?team_id=4819")) { $search = "Cash"; $newText = substr($source,strpos($source, $search)+strlen($search), 16); echo $newText; } else { echo "Error : Could not retrive data, please contact administrator";} ?> However still expirecing the oringnal problem: Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file- get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/www/mbbombers.awardspace.com/testing.ph p on line 2 Warning: file_get_contents(http://goallineblitz.com/ga me/team.pl?team_id=4819) [function.file-get- contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/www/mbbombers.awardspace.com/testing.ph p on line 2 I am a newbie at PHP, any help would be appricated. If this is at my games server side, is there any alternatives in getting this information?

The error is pretty self explanatiory: "URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration" You get what you pay for. No alternatives that come to mind other than getting a real host. Michael J
