ID: 31628 Updated by: edink@php.net Reported By: bbockholt at yahoo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: URL related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. 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: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-01-20 20:46:55] bbockholt at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ If fopen on a URL returns a warning that says it succeeded, but the handle is bad, perhaps the URL requires authentication? Seems self-evident, but, you know...it stumped me for a bit. This is not a bug, but wasn't mentioned in the documentation or anywhere I looked. Reproduce code: --------------- fopen('http://www.somedom.com/auth/reqd.php', 'r'); Expected result: ---------------- The page content. Actual result: -------------- Warning: file("http://www.somedom.com/auth/reqd.php") - Success in /var/www/html/test/reqd.php on line 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=31628&edit=1
