Yes, you can use it that way.

It's done. I can't quantify how often. But it's not considered usual or
unorthodox, if that's what you're asking.

A) If you're trying to access a remote DBMS with fopen(), then the
probability is very high that's your whole strategy is bass-ackwards. So
if that's what's behind these questions, your confusion is
understandable--time to do a major re-think (and/or, as Ken has already
suggested, spend more time with a PHP manual).
B) What makes you think fopen is unstable or error-prone? I'd expect any
connection to a remote server to have a higher risk of errors than a local
connection, but you seem to believe that fopen() itself introduces new
opportunities for errors above-and-beyond the remote connection itself.
That I would not expect to be the case.
