RE: [PHP] fopen failing to connect

Based on the parts of this thread that I have read, I didn't see anything about the failing platform. What is the OS, Webserver, etc.? Does it have to function thru a gateway or proxy server to get to URL you are trying to open, perhaps security is tighter on this machine? Are tcp/ip connections to port 80 from this machine blocked in any way? The "bad file number" message could be a clue. Does this platform return -1 when the file does not exist (or is blocked)? Using a browser, you get a series of numbers (mostly floats). Perhaps if you were to exercise a browser on this machine against the same URL, you might get a few more clues. just a few thoughts, Warren Vail Tools, Metrics & Quality Processes (415) 667-7814 Pager (877) 774-9891 215 Fremont 02-658 -----Original Message----- From: Jennifer [mailto:jennij05@yahoo.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 4:49 PM To: Miguel Cruz Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] fopen failing to connect i looked at the php.ini file and f wrapper is configured. thanks for the suggestion. i am still looking for any suggestions anyone has. thanks. -jennifer Miguel Cruz wrote: > Sounds like maybe the fopen url wrapper is not installed.
