Bizarre http fopen error msg

Anon

Whenever I try to open an http connection with either fopen or readfile I get the error message -
Warning: fopen("http://URL?ARGS","r") - Success in doc/preview.php3 on line 11.
Does anyone know what is causing this? I have never had an error msg that tells me that the function call I made succeeded.

I have seen this. I'm not sure what causes it, but I have a good work around:

$myCompleteFile = implode("", file("http://otherserver.com/file.php?var=2"));

This will read the entire file into $myCompleteFile which is better than fopen because you can't really read through a remotely fopene'd file the same way you can locally.

I'm still getting the same message when I use your code.
It's really beginning to freak me out, as it works on my development machine (NT). But as soon as I upload it to the production server (Linux) it gives me the error message.

$myCompleteFile = implode("", file("http://otherserver.com/file.php?var=2"));

if you echo the $myCompleteFile and it is correct, then chagne the above to
$myCompleteFile = @implode("", @file("http://otherserver.com/file.php?var=2"));

It isn't returning anything at all, so ignoring the error doesn't help.
I think I'm going to have to open a socket to port 80 and just perform my own HTTP request. Cheers for the help anyway.

Hey Guys,

The error, if I'm not mistaking is due to a redirect of the remote http server.

For more info send me an Email.
