How to throw an HTTP request through a Proxy in PHP

I'm Nishimura from Development Department, and I'd like to summarize the result of my research on the requirement of throwing a request through Proxy server in PHP.

code

With the following code, you can get "https://www.ugtop.com/spill.shtml" through the proxy server located at "tcp://123.123.123.123:8080". That's easy!

	<?php
	$data = file_get_contents("https://www.ugtop.com/spill.shtml", false,
	stream_context_create(['http' => [
	'method' => 'GET',
	'request_fulluri' => true,
	'proxy' => 'tcp://123.123.123.123:8080',
	'timeout' => 2,
	]])
	);

memo

The default timeout for file_get_contents is 60 seconds, so be careful to specify an appropriate time depending on your requirements. If you expect it to take a long time to respond, you should set it longer, and if you are using it for life and death check, you should set it shorter.
