when I upload the file that contains this chunk of code to my website it returns false. I used unserialize before and it returned false before and after allow_url_open was On. It was on before I checked it was and it still returned false. Any ideas on how to fixed this please? Thank you.

<?php 
session_start();       

var_dump(file_get_contents('http://www.geoplugin.net/php.gp?ip='.$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']));      
?>

I am, but I pushed it to the web, to my domain and it returned "bool(false)". – kylel9506 Mar 13 '16 at 05:27
Use hard coded IP in param instead of `$_SERVER` FOR testing – devpro Mar 13 '16 at 05:28
Ran fine from my server. Is file_get_contents allowed on your server? – Jason K Mar 13 '16 at 05:31
Is this to be turned on in the php.ini file? – kylel9506 Mar 13 '16 at 05:32
