file_get_contents() acting up on facebook api

file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: SSL: Connection reset by peer in

on

file_get_contents("https://api.facebook.com/method/events.invite?eid=" .  $eid . "&uids=" . json_encode($uids) . "&access_token=" . $facebook->getAccessToken())

It invites users friends which they selected to the event, however i'm getting the error at the top of this post. Tested with cURL, same error.

TESTED

I went back and tested some things with cURL

$url = "https://api.facebook.com/method/events.invite?eid=157437064317827&uids=" . json_encode($uids) . "&access_token=" . $facebook->getAccessToken();

$url2 = urlencode($url);
$ch = curl_init(); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,  2);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url2); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
$data = curl_exec($ch) or die(curl_error($ch));
curl_close($ch);`

Getting errors with that: Couldn't resolve host 'https%3A%2F%2Fapi.facebook.com...

You should never URLencode a full URL. You should URLencode specific portions of a URL (i.e. the query parameter names and values), but the whole URL being URL-encoded will cause your code to fail, since the parts of the URL won't be properly separated.

Have you tried using the Graph API, rather than the deprecated API?

You could instead call:

$event_id = "EVENT_ID";
$user_ids = "ID1,ID2,ID3"; // this can be populated however, but that's the syntax
$graph_url = "https://graph.facebook.com/{$event_id}/invited/{$user_ids}";
$graph_contents = file_get_contents($graph_url);
$data = json_decode($graph_contents);

Hope this helps. :)
