I'm testing file_get_contents on my WAMP laptop (Windows Vista Home), and tried to use it to get the contents of Google, scripts are as below:

Quote

set_time_limit(10);
$result = file_get_contents("Google");
echo $result;

However I got the following errors:

Quote

Warning: file_get_contents(Google) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\testing\http.php on line 44
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 10 seconds exceeded in C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\testing\http.php on line 44

The allow_url_fopen is on in the php.ini, and tried change the set_time_limit to bigger or less, still the same errors.
What's wrong with the php.ini settings or wrong with the script?

well, if you want the content of the google webpage, you need to write it as an url, "http://www.google.com", not just google.

I do write http://www.google.com in the script, just can't understand why this site can automatically parse it to google. I tried several other urls, but got the same problem.

Can some expert help figure out what's wrong with the script or the settings in the php.ini in my wamp laptop?
