Re: NEWBIE.. Major problems with fopen() ??

Hi Christian, I'm not sure if fopen() supports HTTP1.1 which is necessary to open files from another virtual server. If fopen() only supports HTTP1.0 (which I believe), then PHP will first resolve the host to the IP Address 62.61.159.110. Since the file is not availabe at http://62.61.159.110/test.txt it will not be able to open it. If that's the case you will have to use a 3rd party class that supports HTTP1.1. A class that is capable of that is called "class.HttpConnection.inc" is available at http://phpclasses.mkdata.net/browse.html/package/172.html Matthias "Cdn" <news@cdn.dk> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:20030428084131.56361.qmail@pb1.pair.com... > 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... > >
