@user1777711 There's obviously something wrong with the kissanime.com domain because I replaced the URL with Google's and it worked fine (code). — Funk Forty Niner

although reason could be different but my code (similar to yours) works fine so just append these lines into yours at appropriate places,

$useragent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; nl; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7"; curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_AUTOREFERER, true); curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true); curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 5); curl_setopt($s,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($s, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);

The response should not be Object move to here, if you access using your computer, the response is different.

EDIT:

Ok, this was bugging me so figured out a fix.

$ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://kissanime.com/Anime/Karneval'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'myuseragent'); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "http://www.test.com"); $html = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); echo $html;

This code works and fixed the redirect errors I was getting. Happy content grabbing.

But the original page content is not Object moved to here. If you try access by your window its different.

Use file() instead of file_get_contents()

$url = "http://kissanime.com/Anime/Karneval"; $data = file($url); echo htmlspecialchars($data);
