#22937 [Opn->Fbk]: Valid http:// URL does not open with fopen()

ID: 22937 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: freddie at bingham dot net -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Sockets related Operating System: Redhat 7.3 PHP Version: 4.3.2 New Comment: Why shouldn't it give that error? The first url in your script does not exist. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-08 11:18:35] dunkel at calamus dot net For me, a similar problem exists in PHP 4.1.2 (on Apache): Take a look at http://www.calamus.net/cz/modules/wmf.php, please. In the paragraph "P&#345;íru&#269;ka:" (Documentation:) I want to fopen() a page on a Czech server. As this page does not exist, a visible warning is been returned which should probably NOT occur here. Instead, I expect the function call to ONLY give back an invalid $fp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-07 12:06:48] freddie at bingham dot net This is still happening in the 4.3.2 release This is the result of the above script: Warning: fopen(http://pub133.ezboard.com/bonesixthwarriors): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! k› in test.php on line 3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-07 12:16:53] psvanvicat at yahoodot dot com 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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
