Small PHP issue

[TSM]

Odd problem. I have a small php file that just proxys the data from one page to another so that the end user does not know the original url. Problem i am having is that it works on one machine and not the other.

  $dataFile = fopen( "http://xx.xx.xx, "r" ) ;

  if ( $dataFile )
  {
   while (!feof($dataFile)) 
   {
       $buffer = fgets($dataFile, 4096);
       echo $buffer;
   }

   fclose($dataFile);
  }
  else
  {
   die( "fopen failed" ) ;
  }

The code above works on my home machine but not on my webserver. I might have to use fsockopen instead as that works fine.

Any Ideas why? Not a major problem though.

OS: XPSP2, IIS

I wish i understood one word of that

are you escaping the backslashes in your URL? is your local webserver running linux?

there's a few problems with fopen() in a lot of PHP versions

personally i'd not bother with it and use curl

nop is an IIS server so i dont have the curl option.

I guess i will have to use fsockopen

bloody long way round, try this
<?
require ("http://www.x.x.x.x");
?>

or

<?
include ("http://www.x.x.x.x");
?>

Nop does not work either. Weird there may be a problem in php on IIS.
