Hi I am trying to start up a PHP site and i need som information from a *.txt file from another site but when i use "fopen" I get : "Warning: fopen(http://www.cdn.dk/test.txt, "r") - No such file or directory in /customers/roskilderoklub.dk/roskilderoklub.dk/httpd.www/php/test1.php on line 7" My code looks like this : <?php $WindStr = ''; $DirStr = ''; ini_set("allow_url_fopen", "On"); $handle=fopen("http://www.cdn.dk/test.txt", "r"); @$WindStr = fread($handle, 93); @$WindStr = fread($handle, 5); @$DirStr = fread($handle, 5); @$DirStr = fread($handle, 5); @fclose($handle); echo "<p><font face='Verdana' size='1' color='#007F7F'><br><br><b>Wind Speed ".$WindStr." m/s &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dir ".$DirStr."</b></font></p>"; ?> The server is running PHP 4.2.2 could that be the problem ? Can the provider disable fopen(url) funktion ? I have tryed alot but with out luck. How do you get this PHP working ?. Christian...
