file_get_contents() how to fix error "Failed to open stream", "No such file"

I'm getting the following error when I try to run my PHP script:

failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\LOF\Data.php on line 3 script:

My code is as follows:

<?php

$json = json_decode(file_get_contents('prod.api.pvp.net/api/lol/euw/v1.1/game/by-summoner/20986461/recent?api_key=*key*'));

print_r($json);

?>

Note: *key* is a replacement for a string in the URL (my API key) and has been hidden for privacy reasons.

I removed the https:// from the URL to get one error to disappear.

Am I doing something wrong here? Maybe the URL?

I just solve this by encode params in the url.
URL may be: http://abc/dgdc.php?p1=Hello&p2=some words
we just need to encode the params2.

$params2 = "some words";
$params2 = urlencode($params2);

$url = "http://abc/dgdc.php?p1=djkl&p2=$params2"

$result = file_get_contents($url);

We can solve this issue by using Curl....

function my_curl_fun($url) {
 $ch = curl_init();
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
 curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
 $data = curl_exec($ch);
 curl_close($ch);
 return $data;
}

$feed = 'http://................'; /* Insert URL here */
$data = my_curl_fun($feed);

The actual problem of this error has nothing to do with file_get_content, the problem is the requested url if the url is not throwing content of the page and redirecting the request to some where else file_get_content says "Failed to open stream", just before file_get_contents check whether the url is working and not redirecting, here is the code:

function checkRedirect404($url) {

$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    $out = curl_exec($ch);

    // line endings is the wonkiest piece of this whole thing
    $out = str_replace("\r", "", $out);

    // only look at the headers
    $headers_end = strpos($out, "\n\n");
    if( $headers_end !== false ) { 
        $out = substr($out, 0, $headers_end);
    }   

    $headers = explode("\n", $out);
    foreach($headers as $header) {
        if( substr($header, 0, 10) == "Location: " ) { 
            $target = substr($header, 10);

            //echo "Redirects: $target<br>";

            return true;
        }   
    }   

    return false;

}

I hope below solution will work for you all as I was having the same problem with my websites...

For : $json = json_decode(file_get_contents('http://...'));

Replace with below query

$Details= unserialize(file_get_contents('http://......'));
