Why does file_get_contents work with google.com but not with my site?

$page1 = file_get_contents('http://www.google.com'); $page2 = file_get_contents('http://localhost:8000/prueba');

When I repeat the results, Google works, but not with my site. And when I put the address in explorer, it works. And this happens with the whole site that I am doing in django .: (

Warning: file_get_contents ( http://localhost:8000/prueba ) [function.file-get-contents]: could not open the stream: the connection attempt failed because the related party did not respond properly after some time or the connection failed because the connected host could not respond. in C: \ xampp \ htdocs \ squirrelmail \ plugins \ captcha \ backends \ b2evo \ b2evo.php on line 138

For those who have this problem using the PHP Embedded Web Server (with Laravel in my case), this is caused by blocking your request by the file_get_contents () / curl functions.

Dev server docs say that

PHP applications will stop if the request is blocked.

Since the embedded PHP server is single-threaded, requesting a different URL on your server will stop the first request and time out.

As a solution, you can use nginx ( LEMP stack ) or other web servers.

Edit: At the moment, I suggest you use Homestead as a development environment for PHP projects. This saves a lot of work with setting up, creating virtual hosts and configuring the database for more projects.

As zub0r pointed out pointed out , the embedded PHP server is single-threaded. If you do not want to install and configure a web server such as nginx, and do not want to use Homestead or Valet, there is another simple solution:

Run another instance of the embedded PHP server with a different port and use it in your application's internal requests.

 php -S localhost:8000 \\ in another console php -S localhost:8001

I use this in my Laravel application when I request some local dummy API via Guzzle and it works fine.
