Strange problem I'm having on Mac OS X Server 10.6 running PHP 5.3. Any call of file_get_contents() on a local file works fine -- the file is read and returned. But any call of file_get_contents on a url -- any url, local or remote -- always returns false.

var_dump (file_get_contents ('http://www.google.com/'));

bool(false)

I've checked php.ini, and the obvious seems okay:

allow_url_fopen => On => On

Any ideas?

If you enable all errors, anything extra? ...

<?php
error_reporting(-1);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
set_time_limit(0); // Just in case it takes more than your default
execution time.

var_dump(file_get_contents('http://www.google.com'));

may be unrelated to your problem... but are you behind a proxy?
