It works (win7/2k8/2k8R2, x64 or x86). Please ask further support on php-windows or php-general mailing list. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-18 16:43:18] laurent at roussanne dot com allow_url_include On On It is not a network problem because curl based workaround works ! I'm sure it is a windows 64 bits specific problem (2008 server, vista, or seven). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-18 16:38:13] pajoye@php.net Yes, windows is my main platform. Did you allow allow_url_fopen in your php.ini? But again: It does work. If it does not, then something is wrong in your configuation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-18 16:34:53] laurent at roussanne dot com I worked to find a workaround all the last weekend. the solution was writing this : function win64_file_get_contents($url, $timeout=5) { $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, $timeout); $file_contents = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); if (is_bool($file_contents) && ($file_contents == FALSE)) { return FALSE; } else { return $file_contents; } } I'm sure you know this code (found on the web). Do you have a windows 2008 64 test platform ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-18 16:27:20] pajoye@php.net Works just fine. Verify your network connections or whatever you use to connect to internet. I suppose a simple: file_get_contents("http://127.0.01/"); will work just fine too for you (as long as you have 127.0.0.1 define). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-18 16:21:34] laurent at roussanne dot com Description: ------------ file_get_contents("http://www.php.net"); reports : failed to open stream: Une tentative de connexion a échoué car le parti connecté n'a pas répondu convenablement au-delà d'une certaine durée ou une connexion établie a échoué car l'hôte de connexion n'a pas répondu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51852&edit=1
