Bug #14511: Fstat doesnt work with URLs (http)

From: mikael@lirbank.com Operating system: RH7 Apache1.3.22 PHP version: 4.1.0 PHP Bug Type: URL related Bug description: Fstat doesnt work with URLs (http) I tried to use FSTAT to get file info about a remote file. If I point to a local file it works but not on URLs (http). I believed this was the differendce between FSTAT and STAT (that FSTAT uses file pointers, which in it's turn supports URLs), otherwise (as I can see it) there is no actual difference between them. My installation is a pretty basic RH/Apache/PHP/MySQL set up. Static, not DOA. Example: <?php $xml_file = "http://cws.huginonline.com/S/130062/scor.html"; //$xml_file = "scor.htm"; $fp = fopen( $xml_file, "r" ); $array_fileinfo = fstat ( $fp ); print( "ROWS:" . count( $array_fileinfo ) . "\n" ); print_r( $array_fileinfo ); fclose( $fp ); ?> Above is a not working example, if you change the $xml_file to the local file (commented) it will work as expected. Thanks for a GREAT scripting language! /Mikael Lirbank -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=14511&edit=1
