Include() and Require()

Hi folks, I'm pretty new to the list, and have just hit a problem. I read this in the php manual: = As long as support for the "URL fopen wrapper" is enabled when you configure PHP (which it is unless you explicitly pass the --disable-url-fopen-wrapper flag to configure), you can use HTTP and FTP URLs with most functions that take a filename as a parameter, including the require() and include() statements. = But when I use require('http://www.mycgiserver.com/~webfever/headerfooter.php') I get errors about not being able to read from the file. I know it exists (I'm not that stupid!!). Anyone know what's going on? If anyone replies, can they hit 'replie to all', cos I get this in digest, and it'll be quicker for me to find my reply. Man you guys know how to send a lot of mail!! D@nny ====================================== Join The Web Fever Discussion List at http://www.topica.com/lists/WebFever!
