note 46879 added to function.file-get-contents

The above code example: <?php $url = 'http://example.com/with funny chars'; list($protocol, $uri) = split('//', $url); $html = file_get_contents($protocol . '//' . urlencode($uri)); ?> does not work. The slash trailing "example.com" will be turned into %2F, and the resolver fails to find a host named "example.com%2F". Did nobody test this? I cannot immediately see a workaround, short of doing a str_replace after the urlencode to turn %2F back into slashes. Anyone? -ben ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.file-get-contents.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+46879 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46879&report=yes Reason: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46879&report=yes&reason=bad+code Reason: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46879&report=yes&reason=spam Reason: useless example -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46879&report=yes&reason=useless+example Reason: contains commercial links -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46879&report=yes&reason=contains+commercial+links Reason: useless note -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+46879&report=yes&reason=useless+note Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+46879&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
