the following code was working to retrieve the usd price, now for some reason its not

    require 'Mysql.php';
    require 'Util.php';
    $file = file_get_contents("http://blockchain.info/ticker");
    $vars = json_decode($file, true);
    $usd = $vars['USD']['15m'];
    $net_usd = number_format((($usd) * (100 - Settings::fee)) / 100, 2);

echo $net_usd returns zero when should be the price. offering 0.1 btc to someone who can fix.

Try changing the url in file_get_contents to be https://

Code:
$file = file_get_contents("https://blockchain.info/ticker");

Blockchain.info recently changed some things around, and maybe you're not getting the file through redirect.

winner, updating to https worked - strange it doesn't redirect.

You left out where Settings::fee is coming from. If the class Settings isn't found, you'd get a fatal error. The fact that you aren't indicates that it's mis-defined somewhere. You'll need to either post more code, or do digging with that lead yourself. Smiley

Probably in Util.php, but I doubt that would be an area of concern as it seems to have just 'stopped working'.

I was able to use http and it seems that there is no redirects without https. Blockchain is behind cloudflare which could be causing blocking issues (I've had it various times before).

That code does work, it seems to be your server with the issue unless Settings::fee is 100 or cannot be found. Try

Code:
require 'Mysql.php';
    require 'Util.php';
    $file = file_get_contents("http://blockchain.info/ticker");
    $vars = json_decode($file, true);
    $usd = $vars['USD']['15m'];
    echo $usd;
    $net_usd = number_format((($usd) * (100 - Settings::fee)) / 100, 2);

See what that returns. If it doesn't return the correct value, then your server is unable to connect to the blockchain ticker.
