Re: Opening URLs

Both fread() and fgets() return nothing. It's very strange - I can use any other search engine URL (with search terms) and it works, but just not Google! For the record, I'm running PHP 4.2.2. Using a snippet from the PHP doc: ------------ $fp = @fopen("http://www.google.com/q=metallica","r"); if ($fp) { print"The file exists!"; } else { print"The file does not exist"; } ------------ The output is, "The file does not exist"! When I use Google itself as the URL: ------------ $fp = @fopen("http://www.google.com","r"); if ($fp) { print"The file exists!"; } else { print"The file does not exist"; } ------------ The output is, "The file exists"!
