PHP - Content-type not specified assuming application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Question

For 2 days I'm having trouble with my PHP script on my server. I've changed nothing and suddenly it didn't work anymore.

Here is the code:

$query = http_build_query($data); $options = array(     'http' => array(         'header' => "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n".                     "Content-Length: ".strlen($query)."\r\n",              'method'  => "POST",         'content' => $query,     ), ); $opts = array('http'=>array('header' => "User-Agent:MyAgent/1.0\r\n",'method'  => 'POST',         'content' => http_build_query($data),)); $contexts = stream_context_create($opts); $context  = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $contexts, -1, 40000); 

I'm getting these error messages:

Notice: file_get_contents(): Content-type not specified assuming application/x-www-form-urlencoded in

Warning: file_get_contents(https://mobile.dsbcontrol.de): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error in

But when I try the script locally it works perfectly.

Answer 1

You are passing $contexts to file_get_contents() and that only contains the User-Agent header in the $opts array. All other headers and options are in the $options array which you add in to $context but aren't using. Try:

$query = http_build_query($data); $options = array(     'http' => array(         'header' => "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n".                     "Content-Length: ".strlen($query)."\r\n".                     "User-Agent:MyAgent/1.0\r\n",         'method'  => "POST",         'content' => $query,     ), ); $context = stream_context_create($options); $result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context, -1, 40000);
