I am using file_get_contents to get token from a file for a user.

$data=file_get_contents(\"http://ex         


        

Answer 1

file_get_contents is synchronous. You can get FALSE sometimes because of different reasons like network fail, DNS fail etc.

Use curl instead: it's faster and more customizable. You can wait for good response recursive if you need 100% success.
