Example: file_get_contents()

Including a URL for a web document would not populate anything, so I thought I'd try a .txt file.

fopen is not allowed on this host.

Warning: file_get_contents(google.com): Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/fragelk/public_html/citw185/string4.php on line 32

fopen is not allowed on this host.

<?php

$a = file_get_contents($url);

$a = strip_tags($a);
