Hello,

We are having the same problem. Everything was working fine till at least two days ago. No changes in the code from our side.

Currently we're having problems with this line of code:
$apiObj = new OpenTokSDK(API_Config::API_KEY, API_Config::API_SECRET);
$session = $apiObj->create_session($_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"]);

result is
exception 'OpenTokException' with message 'Failed to create session: Invalid response from server'

Stack trace:
opentok/OpenTokSDK.php(229): OpenTokSDK->createSession('our IP address', Array)

We just solved by changing the OpenTokSDK.php with the latest version

Hello all,

I had the same problem because I didn't have php5_curl installed. Please openTok fix "file_get_contents" in OpenTokSDK.php

Thanks for the feedback!

Could you please clarify the role you think file_get_contents plays in all of this?

More specifically:

* Are you on PHP5?
* Are you unable to use cURL?
* Did your SDK not fallback to using file_get_contents?
* What do you think the right method to use is here?

Thanks.

Could you please clarify the role you think file_get_contents plays in all of this?

Yes 5.3.5-1ubuntu7.11 (the default on Ubuntu 11.04)

* Are you unable to use cURL?

Basically I didn't know I needed it and its not installed by default. When I installed it
it worked.

* Did your SDK not fallback to using file_get_contents?

It did. But that method is not working correctly

* What do you think the right method to use is here?

Not sure. Either throw a message somewhere to get php-curl is installed or
get "file_get_contents" to work correctly.

Thanks.

This is the offending code (OpenTokSDK.php- line 202) which is not returning anything.

Code: Select all

           if (function_exists("file_get_contents")) {
                $context_source = array ('http' => array (
                                        'method' => 'POST',
                                        'header'=> Array("Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded", $authStri$
                                        )
                                    );
                $context = stream_context_create($context_source);
                $res = @file_get_contents( $url ,false, $context);
