Description:
------------
A search for the simple query "$*" (without the quotation marks, and the wildcard being any string) in "All php.net sites" at the top of the page results in a php error dump in results.php and a header error in layout.inc (probably because results.php already error dumped onto the screen).

Reproduce code:
---------------
Search for any string that starts with a dollar sign in the search box and set the realm to "all php.net sites".

Expected result:
----------------
A results page with all matches on the subject

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.php.net/ws.php?profile=all&q=%24any〈=en&results=10&start=1&mirror=nl3.php.net): failed to open stream: Connection refused in /var/www/mirror/domeinen/nl3.php.net/website/results.php on line 32

Actually, I just found out that a search for ANYTHING results in this error being generated using "All php.net sites".

By the way, I'm using the www.nederland.net mirror.

The server that the www.nederland.net mirror (a.k.a. nl3.php.net) is running on blocks outgoing http requests from apache by default. This is to prevent script-include abuse. I have enabled http access to www.php.net from apache, so now searching all PHP.net sites works again as expected.

Thank you for reporting this!
