curl_init() has been disabled for security reasons

Question

$url= \"http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/search?tagged=php\";
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRAN         


        

Answer 1

Contact your hosting! :)

Or try:

file_get_contents('http://api.stackoverflow.com/1.1/search?tagged=php');
// Most likely it's also blocked.

You can also try to download with streams.

Or use sockets and connect directly to server and send a HTTP request and parse the response yourself.

There are ways, don't know if they work on your setup... if cURL is not available.
