I'm using PhP 4.0.6 with Apache 1.3 and the
problem is opening remote files with fopen("http://...");

The following code:

>$fp = fopen("http://www.php.net", "r") or die("OPEN");
>while (! feof($fp))
>{
>    fread($fp, 1024) or die("READ");
>}
>fclose($fp) or die("CLOSE");

Produced the following output:

>Warning: php_hostconnect: connect failed in filename.php..
>
>Warning: fopen("http://www.php.net","r") - Bad file
>descriptor in filename.php..


I tried to use fsockopen() with my IE proxy and port settings - it was successful. Maybe the problem is in Apache configuration, but I just can't figure that out!

If you can help, please, send to my email: ronaldo@inbox.lv

Kind regards

I got a slightly different error:

Warning:  fopen("http://www.php.net","r") - No error in e:\sander\webserver\http\test\test1.php on line 10

If you append a / to the url, it works:
fopen("http://www.php.net/", "r")

The errors are a bit weird though...

Let's make it a bogus.

try this:
$my_file = file ("http://www.google.com/search?q=%22invented%20the%20car%22&btnG=Google+Search");

it will result:
No error in my_script.php on line xxx

I have Win98SE
PHP 4.3.4
OmniHTTPD 2.10
IE 5.5

The same thing works under PHP 4.3.4, Win2000 with IIS and IE6
