$arrContextOptions=array(
            "ssl"=>array(
                "verify_peer"=>false,

$file =  fopen("external-web.miami123.org/test/test123",'r','1',stream_context_create($arrContextOptions));
print_r($file);
exit;

Answer 1

Without specifying a protocol, PHP will search for a file on your computer named test123 under ./external-web.miami123.org/test .

TLDR: Use http: http://external-web.miami123.org/test/test123
