Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-21 12:25:49] shlok@ript.net The URL in the summary was just an example. The real URL that I have in mind is: http://www.ordabok.is/index.asp?leitarord=car It works fine if I type this URL in a browser. But when I execute the following PHP code: $fp = fopen("http://www.ordabok.is/index.asp?leitarord=car", "r"); fclose($fp); I get the following warnings: Warning: php_network_getaddresses: gethostbyname failed in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line Warning: fopen("http://www.ordabok.is/index.asp?leitarord=car", "r") - No such file or directory in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 3 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.php on line 4 I hope that someone can fix this problem. Thanks. Shlok ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18456&edit=1
