ID: 22937 Comment by: psvanvicat at yahoodot dot com Reported By: freddie at bingham dot net Status: Closed Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Redhat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: I have a similar problem, but my virtual host has upgraded to 4.3.1 and I can't convince them to go back to a stable snapshot...anything I can do in my scripts to fix this? Any updates they can do? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-27 19:01:40] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip Works fine here. (using latest stable CVS) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-27 18:41:30] freddie at bingham dot net Consider the following script: <?php $p = fopen('http://pub133.ezboard.com/bonesixthwarriors', 'rb'); $p2 = fopen('http://www.microsoft.com', 'rb'); ?> Both sites are opened when using php 4.2.3 (and earier version) whereas 4.3.1 throws the following warning: Warning: fopen(http://pub133.ezboard.com/bonesixthwarriors) [function.fopen]: failed to create stream: HTTP request failed! in /home/juan/public_html/forums/foo.php on line 3 Considering that the second fopen() generates no warnings, fopen is working in some cases in regards to urls. Of course, Apache has been restarted numerous times with no effect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=22937&edit=1
