    <p>Check <a href="http://php.net/file_get_contents" rel="noreferrer"><code>file_get_contents</code> <sup><strong>PHP Manual</strong></sup></a> return value. If the value is <code>FALSE</code> then it could not read the file. If the value is <code>NULL</code> then the function itself is disabled.</p> <p>To learn more what might gone wrong with the <code>file_get_contents</code> operation you must enable error reporting and the display of errors to actually read them.</p> <pre><code># Enable Error Reporting and Display: error_reporting(~0); ini_set('display_errors', 1); </code></pre> <p>You can get more details about the why the call is failing by checking the INI values on your server. One value the directly effects the <code>file_get_contents</code> function is <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/filesystem.configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen" rel="noreferrer"><code>allow_url_fopen</code></a>. You can do this by running the following code. You should note, that if it reports that fopen is not allowed, then you'll have to ask your provider to change this setting on your server in order for any code that require this function to work with URLs.</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Test File&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;?php # Enable Error Reporting and Display: error_reporting(~0); ini_set('display_errors', 1); $adr = 'Sydney+NSW'; echo $adr; $url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=$adr&amp;sensor=false"; echo '&lt;p&gt;'.$url.'&lt;/p&gt;'; $jsonData = file_get_contents($url); print '&lt;p&gt;', var_dump($jsonData), '&lt;/p&gt;'; # Output information about allow_url_fopen: if (ini_get('allow_url_fopen') == 1) { echo '&lt;p style="color: #0A0;"&gt;fopen is allowed on this host.&lt;/p&gt;'; } else { echo '&lt;p style="color: #A00;"&gt;fopen is not allowed on this host.&lt;/p&gt;'; } # Decide what to do based on return value: if ($jsonData === FALSE) { echo "Failed to open the URL ", htmlspecialchars($url); } elseif ($jsonData === NULL) { echo "Function is disabled."; } else { echo $jsonData; } ?&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>If all of this fails, it might be due to the use of short open tags, <code>&lt;?</code>. The example code in this answer has been therefore changed to make use of <code>&lt;?php</code> to work correctly as this is guaranteed to work on in all version of PHP, no matter what configuration options are set. To do so for your own script, just replace <code>&lt;?</code> or <code>&lt;?php</code>.</p>

    3. CO@Shamim Hafiz: It does matter a whole lot as this can make the difference between being executed or not. It is not executed if the server has disabled [`short_open_tag`](http://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.
