Question

All,
I have the following code:

$context = stream_context_create(array(
    'http' => array(
        'timeout' => 5      // Timeout in seconds
    )
));
$username = $options['account'];
$contents = file_get_contents( "https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name={$username}&count=1", 0, $context );

When I execute this code it works fine. However when I change the contents to this:

$how_many = $options['how_many'];
$contents = file_get_contents( "    
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name={$username}&count={$how_many}", 0, $context );

I get the following error:

Warning: file_get_contents(https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=Username&count=10) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: No error

Any ideas why it would work for one and not for the other. If I copy and paste that URL into a browser results are returned as well.

Answer 1

I ended up using cURL to get all of the values and it worked.
