note 103977 deleted from function.fopen by danbrown

Note Submitter: contact at lattery dot com ---- Use CURL to access files outside of your server (if you get Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration): Instead of using: $file = "http://www.website.com/file.txt"; Use: $file = "http://www.website.com/file.txt"; $ch = curl_init($file); $fp = @fopen("temp.xml", "w"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); fclose($fp); $file = "temp.xml"; //IMPORTANT: add an empty temp.xml file to your server and chmod to 666 so it can be written to. If you don't know if you have CURL on your version of PHP, add: <?php phpinfo(); ?> to a PHP web page and look for the CURL section. Or, you could simply try the code above and see if it works.
