Is there a way to use the api without file_get_contents? This is disabled on my server. I tried using cURL with no luck. Is there a simple workaround?

[spaceapple]

Here is the function I tried to replace:



function fetchURL($url) {

return file_get_contents($url);

}

replaced with

function fetchURL($url){
            // create a new curl resource
            $ch = curl_init();
            
            // set URL and other appropriate options
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
            // grab URL and pass it to the browser
            $content= curl_exec($ch)
            
            // close curl resource, and free up system resources
            curl_close($ch);
            return $content;
        }

but get a parse error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/.becka/simplein/bradvite.com/GoogleMapAPI.class.php on line 1340

Any help is much appreciated

You need to add a ; somewhere. You can also cheat by using my adapted google maps class http://www.codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/2649/

It extends the normal class and has a neater solution, that is, only if the setting for using file_get_contents for urls is disabled it uses cURL.
