file_get_contents(): https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration

The “file_get_contents(): https:// wrapper is disabled in the server configuration” error message occurs when the function file_get_contents() is used to access a file over HTTPS, but the server configuration does not have the https wrapper enabled.

This error occurs because PHP needs to access the file over a secure connection, but the server does not have the necessary configuration to do so.

To resolve this issue, you will need to make sure that the https wrapper is enabled in your server’s PHP configuration. This can typically be done by editing the php.ini file and setting the following value:

allow_url_fopen = On

You can also enable the https wrapper by adding this line of code in your script:

ini_set('allow_url_fopen', 'On');

Also, you can check if the cURL extension is enabled in your PHP installation, it is another way to make HTTP requests and it can be used as an alternative to file_get_contents.
