Ok Agreed.
Lets do one last chance to ensure that your system is allowing external
connections or connection to other systems in the network-
Use Curl to get in the file contents. Check your PHP that Curl is enabled.
Through phpinfo();
If the script output the google page then this means that there is nothing
that is stopping you form getting in the content externally.
<?php
// $str = file_get_contents ('http://www.google.com');
// echo $str;
// create a new cURL resource
$ch = curl_init();
// set URL and other appropriate options
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.google.co.in";); //
http://www.google.com
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
// grab URL and pass it to the browser
curl_exec($ch);
// close cURL resource, and free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
?>
