Hi,
I have been using the code below for sometime and it works fine for
most of my need apart from this.
Im using it to request a page from (see code) and it keeps returning:

"Warning:
file_get_contents(http://s.afnt.co.uk/df/df.aspx?a=13548&q=westend
show tickets&n=10&t=itpd1.xsl&r=) [function.file-get-contents]:
failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
in /home/sites/test/call.php on line 46
Request failed"

Any help\pointers with this would be great.

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);
define('CACHEDIR', './');
$request = 'http://s.afnt.co.uk/df/df.aspx?a=13548&q=westend show
tickets&n=10&t=itpd1.xsl&r=';
$cache_filename = 'info.htm';
$cache_fullpath = CACHEDIR.$cache_filename;
$cache_timeout = 60;
$response = request_cache($request, $cache_fullpath, $cache_timeout);
if ($response === false) {
die('Request failed');
}
echo htmlspecialchars($response, ENT_QUOTES);
$file = "/home/sites/test/info.htm";

if (! chmod($file, 0776)) {
echo ("Unable to change file permissions");
}
function request_cache($url, $dest_file, $timeout=60) {
if(!file_exists($dest_file) || filemtime($dest_file) <
(time()-$timeout)) { $data = file_get_contents($url);
if ($data === false) return false;
$tmpf = tempnam('/tmp','YWS');
$fp = fopen($tmpf,"w");
fwrite($fp, $data);
fclose($fp);
rename($tmpf, $dest_file);
} else {
return file_get_contents($dest_file);
}
return($data);
}






It script did not like the gaps in the url ..

Thanks
Chris
