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.

send me your btc address Smiley
