Operating system: Windows2000RC2
PHP version: 4.0 Beta 2
PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function
Bug description: fopen/readfile of URL don't output anything
Neither of the following snippets return anything.
System chugs away for a few seconds and command prompt
returns (also tried it via a web request). Same result
when substituting hostname with ip address.
// test 1
<?php
readfile("http://www.php.net/");
?>
// test 2
<?php
$fp = fopen("http://www.php.net/","r");
if (!fp) {
echo "unable to open url";
exit;
}
echo "here\n"; # code never gets here
while (!feof($fp)) {
$thepage .= fgets($fp,4096);
}
fclose($fp);
echo "...\n$thepage...\n";
?>
