i try to open the external file using fopen() function. I use the example from php.net: $filename = http://www.aaa.com/index.html; $fd = fopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename)); fclose ($fd); however I always get the error "stat failed for http://www.aaa.com/index.html (errno=2 - No such file or directory) " but this file really exists. what is the problem?
