Something has silently broken in a script which has been working for about a year with php3. I don't know of any of the published incompatibilities which would cause this, so I wonder if anyone has any thoughts. I have a script which generates static versions of dynamic pages by sucking up the dynamic content via a fopen - fread operation. Suddenly, php4 beta 4 (yes, I will upgrade to RC1 today) is giving me mysterious messages and failing. When I try to suck up [URL], it's saying... Warning: fopen("[URL]","r") - Success in [scriptname] on line 185 ...and it doesn't return a pointer. Why is is warning me about success, and why doesn't success seem to mean success? Incidentally, when I copy [URL] into a browser, it works perfectly. I'm puzzled, because, as I say, this has been working for a year and nothing in this bit has changed.
