PHP - how to fetch content from a web server on a local network?

Question

PHP

The question is next.
There is a local address on the network http://192.168.1.38/mypage
There is an Apache and gives the page.
It opens through a browser.
But it doesn't ping and you can't retrieve data from this address via file_get_contents.
Tell me how to be?
UPD:
it worked through CURL, I can pick up the content ..
but when I try to make a SOAP request to this IP and it says could not connect to host, although it works from the computer to which I am making the request (even if you specify not 127.0.0.1 but this ip)

Answer 1

Maybe your PHP configuration says allow_url_fopen = 0, which is why file_get_contents doesn't work.

Answer 2

Doesn't ping, probably because the firewall drops ICMP packets. And with the help of file_get_contents, the page can not be taken away because there is some kind of protection against bots. Use cURL to mimic how a browser works.

Answer 3

First, make sure that file_get_contents is generally able to get data from at least some address. Then figure out why you can't pick up from 192.168.1.38/mypage.
Maybe there are firewalls between php and 192.168.1.38. Try to read the data not through php, but through some kind of command line utility from the php side.
Probably on that party headings of request are checked. In addition to the user-agent, stuff all the other browser headers in general (intercept them to understand what they are there).
