#27105 [Opn->Fbk]: Cannot open remote URL's

ID: 27105 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: jprins at ision dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: HTTP related Operating System: Unix PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: Why does it work fine for me? Using this script: <?php readfile("http://www.ccmplanet.com/"); var_dump($http_response_headers); ?> I get the page contents and the correct headers.. So what is different? (I'm running the script with CLI) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-02-01 03:29:36] jprins at ision dot nl I don't think the weird characters in the error message are normal? Warning: readfile(http://www.ccmplanet.com/): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! üESÆ@4Ìÿ¿>Æà\@@Ìÿ¿<™Æ

Worked fine with PHP 4.2.2 too. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-31 13:15:11] jprins at ision dot nl Changed the include into readfile, but same result ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-31 12:25:40] pollita@php.net (1) In your test script dump the contents of $http_response_header, not $http_response_headers. (2) Use readfile() when all you're including is content and not actual PHP code. Using include() on a remote URL which you don't control is a security risk and a completely unnecessary one in this context. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-01-31 10:46:34] jprins at ision dot nl Tom, thanks for the quick response, the page still fails on my system.
