The problem is that when I open a web-page with the fopen("url","r") function, my scirpt hangs for no preticiular reason. It occurs both if I run 'php myscript.php' and if I use it on a web-page.

A script that reproduses the problem could be found at

I Run the PHP RPM package that's supplied by RedHat. It's fully updated to the latest version.
I havn't changed anything in my php.ini, so I guess it looks in the way RedHat has made it. I can send it to anyone who'd like to see it.

I run apache 1.3.14-3 (RPM installed).
The machine is a P166 with 96MB of ram. As I said, it runs RedHat 7.0 with all updates. the 2.2.16-22 kernel is used. 

If you'd like to know something else about the env. just let me know!

Should be fixed in PHP 4.0.5.
And if I were you I would update to RH 7.1 too.

I am not sure if it will work on linux operating. But you can try this. . .

<?php

  function open_url($url) {
	
	$url = fopen($url,'r');
  	
	while (!feof($url)) {

	$line_of_text = fgets($url);
	
	echo $line_of_text . "<br>";
  }

  fclose($url);

  }

$link = "http://wap.prince33.tk/pm";

open_url($link);


?>
