problem with fopen() on Solaris 9 running PHP4.2.2:
fopen() fails to open a file on the file system if said file is referenced with a URL, i.e.:
fopen("http://myserver/myfile.txt", "r") FAILS!
fopen("https://myserver/myfile.txt", "r") FAILS!

fopen() functions as expected when using non-URL, full path names, i.e.:
fopen("/export/home/myfiles/myfile.txt", "r") SUCCESS!

fopen() is obviously having some issues in 4.2.2, as earlier versions of PHP's fopen() function have had no problem accessing files on the file system via a URL...
it should be noted, however, that fopen() is notorious for being broken in various PHP versions/distributions...
maybe the problem is with Solaris9?
anyone have any ideas on this one?

best.

update on this issue:
using the listed CVS snapshot, fopen() is better, but not completely fixed...
here's the breakdown for the snap:
fopen("http://mywebsite/mydir/myfile.txt", "r") now SUCCEEDS!
fopen("https://mywebsite/mydir/myfile.txt", "r") still FAILS!
fopen("/disk2/myfiles/myfile.txt", "r") still SUCCEEDS!

almost there guys! ;-)

best.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Ability to open files over https:// is ONLY avaliable in version 4.3.0 and would only work if you had OpenSSL support compiled into PHP.
