[PHP-WIN] Re: Fopen errors out when opening a URL From: Brian Huff (bex <email protected>)
Date: 07/15/02

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.
