Even with the latest version of PHP, the socket stuff seems a bit broken. Code that used to work fine (on 3.0.6?) remains broken.

eg:
$url = "http://www.php.net/";

// this works
readfile($url);

// this works
$fh=fopen($url,"r");
fpassthru($fh);

// doesn't work for some sites (yes, I know it's an array)
$foo=file($url);                      

// doesn't work for some sites - incomplete result
// consistant location. 
// eg $url="http://bugs.php.net/manual/"
$fh=fopen($url,"r");
$foo=fgets($fh,100000);
close($fh);

They all work fine if $url is set to a local file. Other tools on the same machine (lynx,netscape,wget) can all access the URLs fine.

My PHP is compiled as an apache module, with track-vars, gd, sybase-ct, postgres, and xml; all of which seem to work fine.

(hmmm, I expected it to overwrite my initial bugreport)
That last change was correcting a typo where
   "$foo=fgets($fh,100000);"
should have read
   "$foo=fread($fh,100000);"

Recompile and let us know whether it works now:

$ cd php-3.0.11/functions
$ wget -O fsock.c http://cvs.php.net/cvsweb.cgi/functions/fsock.c?rev=1.124
 [1999-07-10 16:58 UTC] sas at cvs dot php dot net 
fixed in CVS
