Re: Failure remote includes

No problem... 2.0 gave me a lot of problems (2.0.47), not that I would run apache2/win32/php-sapi in production for the moment. as for fopen, if you're intent to try, then: $fp = fopen ("http://www.example.com/", "r"); while (!feof($fp)) { $content .= fread($fp,1024); } fclose ($fp); print $content; this is just a sanity check to see if the fopen is indeed working with url_open, or that nothing is blocking the request. Otherwise it could be just apache2. "M.R." <purplespirit@hccnet.nl> wrote in message news:001401c35837$3cfaa290$7142c23e@giga... No, it's not silly, it's a good question, but indeed allow_url_fopen=On, it's On by default in PHP 4,3 installations. However, how to fopen eand read a socket via HTTP, I guess my knowlegde fails as how to accomplish this. I don't *need* apache 2, I guess, and might install 1.3.28, but for now don't want to give up too easily on this one, in case it's just a simple configuration flaw on my part (am newbie). Thanks very much! _________________Original message_______________ Sek-Mun Wong wrote August 1 2003 8:19 in reply to Re: Failure remote includes <..silly one but i assume you already have "allow_url_fopen=On" in php.ini? (it should tell you anyway, that this is not set, plus the error below) works for me in 4.3.2/winxp pro/apache 1.3.28. I guess if you don't *need* apache 2, don't do it. another test might be to fopen and read a socket via http to make sure your connection (or I should say apache's service logon user's connection) to the aforementioned ip/host is ok...>
