[PHP-DOC] Bug #17342 Updated: include() fails to open URLs From: philip <email protected>
Date: 06/10/02

 ID: 17342
 Updated by: philip <email protected>
 Reported By: php <email protected>
 Status: Critical
 Bug Type: Documentation problem
 Operating System: Windows 2000 Server
 PHP Version: 4.2.1
 New Comment:

features.remote-files.php has the following <note>:

"Note: You can't use remote files in include() and require() statements
on Windows."

a) This bug will remain in 4.3.0?
b) Aside from php.net/include, any other places to add docs?
c) Same error regardless of allow_url_fopen value in php.ini?
d) Why can't windows include remote files?

I've experienced this bug on Windows XP, 2000 Pro and 98.

The let's document it, and set it to criticil. This really should be
clear to users on W2k platform, it's a major drawback.

It turns out that urls in include() for Windows are not supported. This
fact should probably be documented.

Hi Derick,

Sorry bout that...

Installed php4-win32-200205221000.zip (latest)
and the problem persists. there is an additional error message now:

Warning: main("http://aorr3/oss/ssi/header.html") - Invalid argument in
F:\web\source\resolutions.php on line 6

Warning: Failed opening 'http://aorr3/oss/ssi/header.html' for
inclusion (include_path='.;f:\web\source') in
F:\web\source\resolutions.php on line 6

First 7 lines of code are below:
<?php

#print_r(get_cfg_var("allow_url_fopen"));
#print_r(ini_get("allow_url_fopen")ini_get("allow_url_fopen"));

  include ("http://aorr3/oss/ssi/header.html");

(7 line blank)

Cheers,

Paul.

Poul I think Derick was referring to 4.3.0-dev
(http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip).

FYI I can reproduce the problems you're having.
