What is 'does not work' ? Be more descriptive, paste error messages, etc.

- Markus

This script doesn't work, it results in error:
<?php
        require("http://localhost/test.php");
?>

The follow error is generated: Fatal error: Failed opening required 'http://localhost/test.php' (include_path='.;c:\php;c:\php\includes') in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\live3.php on line 2

When I enter the URL http://localhost/test.php in my browser directly it works.

When I use the following script it works:
<?php
          require("c:/inetpub/wwwroot/test.php");
?>

I checked all rights withing IIS and these are ok.

PHP.ini is configured with defaults.

This works fine for me on Linux with PHP 4.0.6

That's correct, when I run it on a linux host it works fine.

Reproduced with PHP-4.0.6, Apache 1.3.20 on Win2K.

require("http://localhost/test.php"); // fails
include("http://localhost/test.php"); // fails
fpassthru(fopen("http://localhost/test.php","r")); // works

PHP-4.0.6, IIS5.0 on Win2K.

fpassthru(fopen("http://localhost/test.php","r")); //works

thanks

Reproduced with latest dev-version from php4win.com (04-Oct-2001).

Sorry to bother you again, but can you try the latest CVS (4.3.0-dev, a non-STABLE build) from http://snaps.php.net?
A lot has changed regarding the fopen-wrappers in 4.3.0 so this might be fixed.

Re-opening, update version, os.

This is a limitation of either the way the code is written or Windows. Either way it's not supported, it's a technical issue regarding flex (Zeev says so).

Let's keep this bug open as a reference, mark others duplicate. Should this be critical?

Making a feature request.

Fixed long time ago, at least in PHP 5 series. According to Pierre.
