Re: Newbie fopen() HELP..!

Hi If I use the same code and put the txt file no the same server as the PHP code is works perfectly but it is when i want a file from another server "site" is does not work, but why ??. I have read in the PHP manual under code eks. that somone there had the same problem on a PHP ver 4.2.2 but no one has come up with a solution for the problem. My provider is running ver 4.2.2 and is not changing to a newer version. So what do i do ???? Christian..
