PHP 4.0 Bug #7880 Updated: PHP_URL_FOPEN doesn't work

ID: 7880 Updated by: hholzgra Reported By: Alan@Halachmi.net Status: Assigned Bug Type: *URL Functions Assigned To: jason@php.net Comments: ooops, looks like this was to early in the morning :( but it might still be of interest what the output and error messages look like if you take your code snippet and just replace the '$fp=file($url)' line with '$fp=fopen($url,"r")' it seems like file() fails to open the URL but still tries to read from the file handle that is not valid in this case, so that 'bad file number' is reported instead of the real cause if failure ... PS: i don't think this is realy related to it, but www.php.net/index.html does not exist. trying to GET it will result in a 404 status and an error page showing some search results, you should try www.php.net/index.php instead, just to be sure ... Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 09:54:13] jason@php.net Actually he is using the correct usage. File takes a string calls fopen-wrappers to open a fp, and then returns an array Alan, I will see If I can reproduce your findings -Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 07:01:04] hholzgra@php.net $url = "http://www.php.net/index.html"; $fp = file($url); is simply wrong usage, try $url = "http://www.php.net/index.html"; $fp = fopen($url,"r"); $file_contents = file($fp); instead --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-11-20 04:40:48] Alan@Halachmi.net More interesting information... It appears that the outbound connection is never actually made... This is from a truss of an fopen on www.php.net: 14354/1: resolvepath("/home/pkw/devilnet/v1.0/dev/htdocs/filetest.php", "/home/pkw/devilnet/v1.0/dev/htdocs/filetest.php", 1024) = 47 14354/1: ioctl(6, TCGETA, 0xFFBEE33C) Err#25 ENOTTY 14354/1: fstat64(6, 0xFFBECBD0) = 0 14354/1: d=0x02200007 i=275213 m=0100644 l=1 u=1001 g=4 sz=283 14354/1: at = Nov 20 04:21:57 EST 2000 [ 974712117 ] 14354/1: mt = Nov 20 03:55:45 EST 2000 [ 974710545 ] 14354/1: ct = Nov 20 03:55:45 EST 2000 [ 974710545 ] 14354/1: bsz=8192 blks=2 fs=ufs 14354/1: ioctl(6, TCGETA, 0xFFBECB5C) Err#25 ENOTTY 14354/1: read(6, " < ?nt $ u r l = "".., 8192) = 283 14354/1: read(6, 0x00303264, 8192) = 0 14354/1: ioctl(6, TCGETA, 0xFFBECC34) Err#25 ENOTTY 14354/1: llseek(6, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 283 14354/1: close(6) = 0 14354/1: so_socket(2, 1, 0, "", 1) = 6 14354/1: connect(6, 0x001378B8, 16, 1) = 0 14354/1: AF_INET name = 127.0.0.1 port = 53 14354/1: send(6, "96 g01
