Problems with the webgains discount csv [php]

I used to be able to access this pretty easily with php

<?php

$file = file("http://www.webgains.com/newsletter/images/DiscountCodes.csv");
print($file[0]);

$fp = fopen('http://www.webgains.com/newsletter/images/DiscountCodes.csv','r') or die("can't open file");


?>

However, neither of these works now. Anyone else have this error?

Thanks

just tried that link http://www.webgains.com/newsletter/i...countCodes.csv in the browser and it works

Yep, but it no longer works if you try to download with php script.

Only thing I can think is there some odd character formatting on the csv.

Hi both,

Apologies for the late reply. The reason this no longer works is because we have a temporary fix in place to serve this file from our other locales (as opposed to .com). To get this to work as required, please change your script to use this URL instead: http://www.webgains.de/newsletter/images/DiscountCodes.csv - also, print($file[0]); will just print the first line of the file, you may wish to change that to print_r($file); to see the whole file instead.

This is a temporary fix for now and all will be back to normal shortly. Unfortunately, this is the best way around for now.

Additionally, we have a new API for our voucher codes, please e-mail me directly seth[at]webgains.com should you want more information on this.

Thanks for your understanding, please feel free to contact me should you need anything else at all.

Thanks,
Seth
