Re: Fopen errors out when opening a URL

check out this ini value: allow_url_fopen its set to false for some versions of PHP. another thing, do a sanity check to make sure it works at all... like this: $fp = fopen ("c:\\temp\\test.txt", "r"); also note, you cant use include() or require() with remote files on windows. also note, if this is a heavily trafficked site (like weather.com, google, or Yahoo), the response might not be html, it might actually be gzipped html, which fopen() isn't smart enough to handle. Do a test with a known site. last resort, make sure that the service you are running PHP as is a service that has access to the network. For example, the default install of Apache and IIS probably runs as the Local User, you might need to run it as a domain user, such as yourself. You should be able to change this in the services control panel... I dont know if this matters at all, but you might as well try. -- Brian 'Bex' Huff bex@stellent.com Phone: 952-903-2023 Fax: 952-829-5424 > I am trying to do a simple fopen("http://www.weather.com/index.html", "r"); > For some reason I cannot Open any URL's after trying several. > > I get the following error > > Warning: stat failed for Resource id #1 (errno=2 - No such file or > directory) > I checked my php.ini to make sure I set the fopen wrappers and they are set. > > Any help would be appreciated.
