Can you please help me?

Thank you

Hi, have you done any changed to your configuration file?
/config/config.php
/config/config.default.php
/lib/imdbphp/conf/php4dvd.ini

Are you using the latest version? As it's says master I would think so; I haven't made a new release just for the updated imdbphp I included in it a few days ago.

You can activate the debug mode just for imdbphp with:
$settings["imdbphp"]["debug"] = true;
Or turn it on globally:
$settings["development"] = true;
These are turned on in:
/config/config.default.php

If you haven't; please test the /demo/ application in this project, as it's not included in php4dvd.

As far as php4dvd goes, It works fine from my dev machine and hosting provider with moviesearch for la dolce vita. But I don't catch error messages, my bad. :-)

Something to do with using https through a http proxy maybe? Not entirely sure. Have you updated something recently? New config?

[greenhouseffecto]

With your files for change from http to https something is changed. But now i have this error:

Fatal error: Class 'BrowserEmulator' not found in /membri/skynexsrl/php4dvd-master/lib/imdbphp/src/Imdb/Request.php on line 20

How can i fix this problem?

[jreklund]

You can download php4dvd version 3.8.0. It dosen't contain the https fixes for IMDb, but you can instead get the 302 Found redirection problem fixed in 6.0.1 instead.
So I would try to fix your webhost settings instead (try different php version).

BrowserEmulator haven't been used since version 5.0.0 of imdbphp released on Oct 16, 2016. What version did you actually grab? php4dvd first public version (3.1.1) uses 5.0.1 so you didn't grab it from jreklund/php4dvd.

[greenhouseffecto]

i think that the version is 3.8.0 but i send you the file so you can check if is correct.
php4dvd-master.zip
I put this file in altervista, i follow the configuration, but every time a problem occurs.

[jreklund]

It works as expected (but these are https fixes, not the true 3.8.0 version), what kind of error message do you get of that code?

If you are using it on a webbserver/webhost, try to setup WAMP/XAMPP on your local Windows(?) computer instead. As it's something wrong with your webbserver or your proxy settings.

I repeated the procedure from the beginning without changing anything, now the error that appears is this.
P.S I used your zipped file (3.8.0 version)

[jreklund]

Okey, still returning 403 Forbidden (without a proxy warning this time). That's not something we can fix.
You need a new hosting provider; Your's are blocked by IMDb or miss-configured.

You got any error logs from your server?

[greenhouseffecto]

Thank you very much, jreklund
I am gonna write to my hosting provider to see if IMDb is actually blocked or just miss-configured.

Meanwhile I activated the debug mode and I am posting below the more detailed exception
