file_get_contents() disabled for security reasons

I'm not able to run this PHP code. According to phptester.net.

file_get_contents() has been disabled for security reasons on line number 2

Is there any way to skip it? yesterday it worked, I have no idea why now doesn't work.

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$details = json_decode(file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}"));
echo $details;

Thank you.

According to ipinfo.io, if you want only country code then you can pass it to url...

$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$details = file_get_contents("http://ipinfo.io/{$ip}/country");
echo $details;

Output

IN

Or your IP country code.

Get rid of json_decode(). The string that you're trying to pass expects it to be JSON and the argument won't be understood; it just needs the IP address.

You can then grab the JSON output from there, if that is what you're really after.
