Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Basically... i am writing a php script that includes a file from a remote server. the initial script on 'www.domain1.com' includes a file from 'www.domain2.com'...

include("http://www.domain2.com/inculudeTest.php");

this second script would include <?php echo("TEST"); ?>

Expected Result;
test

Actual Result;
Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.domain2.com/includeTest.php' for inclusion in /blah/cust/4/355/outside/www.domain1.com/testFile.php on line 1

Basically it would appear the inclusion of remote scripts now fails...

Read the docs at:
http://www.php.net/include
There is a note that says:
The Windows version of PHP currently does not support accessing remote files via this function, even if allow_url_fopen is enabled. 

I can't see any reason why we don't allow it under
win32, but that's the way it is.

Sorry I should have been more clear, I tested this on Win XP and then tested also on both of my live linux servers, the problem is consistent on all versions...

And you have allow_url_fopen=on in your php.ini and/or
apache configuration?

ahhh i am sending get variables as well... if i url encode them it seems to work ok... why would non url encoded variables work locally but not remotely, is it the way the wrappers work?

If you are accessing a URL, you need to ensure that the URL is a valid URL :-)

User Error -> Bogus.
