I want to show current GOLD RATE from Gold Price India Site using PHP

Question

Just want to show current gold rate from Gold Price India (http://www.goldpriceindia.com/) using PHP.

I have done to get data using file_get_contents() method. But its working on localhost but not in server. I want this on my FTP server too.

My Code:

$url1 = 'http://www.goldpriceindia.com/gold-price-kolkata.php';
$content1 = file_get_contents($url1);
$first_step1 = explode( '<div class="prc">' , $content1 );
$gold_rate1 = explode("</div>" , $first_step1[1] );

I am using PHP, I hope my question is clear if not I ready to explain again.

Thank You.

You need to post your PHP code. How are we supposed to guess what you're doing wrong? — Barmar, Jul 09 '16 at 07:12
Maybe your web hosting service has disabled accessing remote URLs. Enable error reporting in the script. — Barmar, Jul 09 '16 at 07:13
Code looks OK, have you checked for errors when you run it on the server? — Barmar, Jul 09 '16 at 07:19
It's normal, but some web hosts may have it disabled to prevent their customers from attacking other sites. — Barmar, Jul 09 '16 at 07:20
When I run it server no data is receiving. But I am unable to see the error. — Debanjan Roy, Jul 09 '16 at 07:20
Are you sure you have error reporting enabled? See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/845021/how-to-get-useful-error-messages-in-php — Barmar, Jul 09 '16 at 07:22
So what is the second plan for it? I have searched too many for an api to get the data. But nothing is fruitful. — Debanjan Roy, Jul 09 '16 at 07:22

may be your server disabled URL file access may be you can try alternate solution to get file content.

Alternate method to get file content

   function url_get_contents ($Url) {
if (!function_exists('curl_init')){ 
    die('CURL is not installed!');
}
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $Url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$output = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $output;
}

Usually if they disable URL file access, they also disable `cURL`, since the goal is to prevent accessing remote URLs in general. – Barmar Jul 09 '16 at 08:15
You can make HTTP requests without cURL, too, though it requires allow_url_fopen to be enabled in your php.ini file. I don't think so they disabled CURL, cURL is a way you can hit a URL from your code to get a html response from it. cURL means client URL which allows you to connect with other URLs and use their responses in your code. – Sushil Mate Jul 09 '16 at 08:50
