In my PHP code, I used file_get_contents() function for a long time and it used to work without any problem. But it stopped working recently. I'm wondering why this function has stopped working on my hosting recently?

Hello Abdul,

Apologies for the error you're getting.  When I took a look at your error message, it is saying something else that doesn't appear to be related to the PHP function you're specifying.  Your error message is stating:  

illegal length modifier specified "f" in s[np]printf call

As per our previous reply, make sure to have PHP  error logging enabled.  The logged error will give you a better clue related to the issue. If you can provide us a copy of that log, then we can look into it further.

If you have any further questions or comments, please let us know.


Kindest Regards,

Arnel C.

Hello, Thank you for contacting us about an issue with the file_get_contents PHP function. Ensure you have enabled PHP error logging/reporting. Check you are using PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7. Also, make sure you syntax is correct, and none of the parameters have changed. file_get_contents(path,include_path,context,start,max_length (from w3schools) Can you provide a link to the scripts for testing? If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below. Thank you, John-Paul
