Date: 06/10/02

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

I think these notes that it doesn't work on Win32 need
to go (also) on:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.include.php
http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php#ini.allow-url-fopen
and in the distributed php.ini-dist

a) This bug will remain in 4.3.0?

 It's not a bug, it's a feature request.

b) Aside from php.net/include, any other places to add docs?

 (include|require)_once

c) Same error regardless of allow_url_fopen value in php.ini?

 No, fopen("http://somewhere/"); works for me on win32. Doesn't it for
you?
d) Why can't windows include remote files?

 Technical issue, ask zeev to explain. Something along the line that a
socket != fd on win32 and that flex only supports fd's.

Since it's documented already, it's not critical anymore IMHO.

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

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

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.
