file_get_contents isn't working when the url is from localhost (file_get_contents("http://localhost:9000")).

I tried file_get_contents(link to google) to test it and works perfectly.

also tried using the 127.0.0.1:9000 address and was not successful.

The same project hosted on a different url also works.

allow_url_fopen is on, extension=php_openssl.dll is enabled.

using:

"$domain = array(link to local host);"

or curl to load the url also does not work only on localhost.

PS: URLs can be accessed normally using browser.

Code on Controller: Code:

$my_var = file_get_contents('http://localhost:9000'); // timeout here only if localhost
var_dump($my_var);
die();

Please provide some code. And are you able to just visit the URL in the browser? – Koen Nov 04 '16 at 13:38
what are you tried already? – Razib Al Mamun Nov 04 '16 at 13:42
@Koen Yes, I'm able to normally access the URLS in the browser. Code added to the post – Lucas Nachtigall Nov 04 '16 at 13:44
Are there any errors, warnings or notices? – Koen Nov 04 '16 at 13:47
@koen Only timeout after X seconds defined on php.ini. For other urls(or same url in different server) works instantly. – Lucas Nachtigall Nov 04 '16 at 13:48
Isn't it `file_get_contents`'ing itself then? (Which creates an endless loop of requests that eventually result in a timeout) – Koen Nov 04 '16 at 13:55
check this similar question - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8423404/php-file-get-contents-does-not-work-on-localhost – Ravi Patel Nov 04 '16 at 14:02
@koen No, because the controller that is calling the function file_get_contents(localhost) is in a different page ( localhost/something/something) – Lucas Nachtigall Nov 04 '16 at 16:00
@RaviPatel Thanks for the comment, I found that question earlier and did everything that was proposed there, such as "allow_url_fopen" and "php_openssl.dll". And it also did not work. – Lucas Nachtigall Nov 04 '16 at 16:02
