[PHP] fopen failing to connect
Hello I have a script which uses fopen( ). It works on my local machine which has php and apache on a windows platform as well as on another server (php/apache) which is windows based. However, when I have the same script on a unix machine (php/apache), the fopen gives me the following error: Warning: php_hostconnect: connect failed in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/514parser.php on line 135 Warning: fopen(http://www.thedeal.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=TheDeal/xmlfeed;, r) - Bad file number in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/514parser.php on line 135 Any suggestions? -jennifer -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Jennifer, works just fine here.. - $fp = fopen(http://www.thedeal.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=TheDeal/xmlfe ed,r); if ($fp !== FALSE) echo The file exists!; else echo The file does not exist; - This prints The file exists! so it may be something else in your code cuasing the problem. And when I read the file it displays a bunch of numbers. Don't know what you could be doing wrong but if you continue to experiece problems post some more of your code and maybe we can decipher the error from that. -Kevin - Original Message - From: jennifer [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 2:09 PM Subject: [PHP] fopen failing to connect Hello I have a script which uses fopen( ).

Re: [PHP] fopen failing to connect
thanks for looking. my guess is that it could be a server configuration issue. i am really not sure. the actual script works just not on the server i need it to work on. maybe it has something to do with the .ini file or the installation. i am not very familiar with that. does this sound likely as a problem? thanks. -jennifer --- Kevin Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jennifer, works just fine here.. - $fp = fopen(http://www.thedeal.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=TheDeal/xmlfe ed,r); if ($fp !== FALSE) echo The file exists!; else echo The file does not exist; - This prints The file exists! so it may be something else in your code cuasing the problem.

Re: [PHP] fopen failing to connect
Sounds like maybe the fopen url wrapper is not installed. I've never taken any particular steps to install it, so I'm not sure how that would come about. miguel On Wed, 15 May 2002, jennifer jefferson wrote: thanks for looking. my guess is that it could be a server configuration issue. i am really not sure. the actual script works just not on the server i need it to work on. maybe it has something to do with the .ini file or the installation. i am not very familiar with that. does this sound likely as a problem? thanks. -jennifer --- Kevin Stone [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Jennifer, works just fine here.. - $fp = fopen(http://www.thedeal.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=TheDeal/xmlfe ed,r); if ($fp !== FALSE) echo The file exists!; else echo The file does not exist; - This prints The file exists! so it may be something else in your code cuasing the problem.

RE: [PHP] fopen failing to connect
Based on the parts of this thread that I have read, I didn't see anything about the failing platform. What is the OS, Webserver, etc.? Does it have to function thru a gateway or proxy server to get to URL you are trying to open, perhaps security is tighter on this machine? Are tcp/ip connections to port 80 from this machine blocked in any way? The bad file number message could be a clue. Does this platform return -1 when the file does not exist (or is blocked)? Using a browser, you get a series of numbers (mostly floats). Perhaps if you were to exercise a browser on this machine against the same URL, you might get a few more clues. just a few thoughts, Warren Vail Tools, Metrics Quality Processes (415) 667-7814 Pager (877) 774-9891 215 Fremont 02-658 -Original Message- From: Jennifer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 15, 2002 4:49 PM To: Miguel Cruz Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] fopen failing to connect i looked at the php.ini file and f wrapper is configured. thanks for the suggestion. i am still looking for any suggestions anyone has. thanks. -jennifer Miguel Cruz wrote: Sounds like maybe the fopen url wrapper is not installed.
