This is the error message I get:

Warning: fopen("http://www.citywire.co.uk/","r") - Message too long in /usr/home/jon/webs/blahblah/htdocs/pull/citywire.php on line 87

Here is the script:

$filename = "http://www.citywire.co.uk/latestnews/default.asp";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");

This is my ISP's setup:

FreeBSD 4.2
./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--enable-versioning' '--with-system-regex' '--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc' '--disable-debug' '--enable-track-vars' '--without-gd' '--disable-pear' '--without-mysql' '--with-gd=/usr/local' '--with-ttf=/usr/local' '--with-zlib' '--with-mcrypt=/usr/local' '--with-mhash=/usr/local' '--with-imap=/usr/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--with-xml=/usr/local' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gettext=/usr/local' '--with-ming' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386--freebsd4.2'

I don't have access to php.ini unfortunately.

The source for that html page is all on one line. Approx. 19,000 characters. I can fopen/file(), without any problems, html pages which have newline breaks throughout.

The problem is probably caused by the REALLY long line.  Try
upgrading to the current version.  If that still doesn't
work, re-open.

I've see your bug and this has also occured to me.

My warnings are shown in the following...

Warning: fopen("http://s6aip.uhome.net/ex/exnews_express.exd","r") - Message too long in /virtual/s6aip.uhome.net/./index_6.php on line 210

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /virtual/s6aip.uhome.net/./index_6.php on line 211

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /virtual/s6aip.uhome.net/./index_6.php on line 212


I think the problem is not caused by many characters... according to my txt file "http://s6aip.uhome.net/ex/exnews_express.exd", it only contains about 260 words in one line. Then I split the txt file into many lines, the problem still occured. Also, i don't think the problem is caused by Chinese words as the txt file contains Chinese words.

What is the real reason for this problem?

In addition, my page is uploaded to a free web hosting website's server which is using PHP version 4.0.5. So, I cant upgrade any config....

How can I solve the problem???

No need help la... (Hong Kong people lang =.=)

I discover that sometimes, if the specific URL is wrong, it will produce a "Message too long" warning. Is the problem / Can the problem solved in the new version of php?

It carries a wrong message that the problem is not caused on misspell the URL but it did! This warning confuses us. So I want to know that is it fixed this problem or I want to ask for correcting this problem for new users using PHP not to be confused.
