Getting failed to open stream: HTTP request failed error with names with symboles

Question

Why I got this error :

failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

Code :

$Name = 'Teàst';
$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/name/' . $Name . );

But when I try echo $result; I got the link and its work fine. And when I try $Name = 'Teast'; (without "à" symbole) its work fine. Soo the problem is names with symboles (é è à ...). How to fix it please ?

Answer 1

Use htmlspecialchars method,

 $Name = 'Teàst';
    $result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/name/' . htmlspecialchars($Name));

Answer 2

use

htmlspecialchars()

$Name = 'Teàst';
$Name =htmlspecialchars($Name);
$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/name/' .$Name);

Answer 3

This code works for me:

<?php
$Name = 'Teàst';
$result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/name/' . $Name );
echo $result
?>

And this code works:

<?php

$Name = 'Teàst';
$Name = htmlspecialchars($Name);
$result = file_get_contents('http://localhost/temp/' . $Name);

echo $result
?>
