The pages that is crashing my Apache server include, "http://www.sltrib2002.com". What is happening is fopen() is trying to open this link but the link redirects. When this link is placed in a browser, it actually redirects to, "http://www.sltrib2002.com/main/index.asp". How do I fix fopen so it works for these sites?
Here is more information about the problem in detail:
I am running WinXP, Apache 1.3, MySQL 3.23, and PHP 4.3.1.
I have a php page called "populate.php" that is using fopen() to index web pages. This works most of the time when I load this page in a browser, but fopen() is causing problems. Sometimes a specific web site (that has a redirecting link) causes Apache to crash. A window pops up saying, "Apache.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." And in the browser it says, "The page cannot be loaded."
Although it says it crashes, the Apache server still seems to run if I load another page. It seems as if only that specific connection crashed. But this is the problem. I need to find out a way so it does not crash the page, populate.php, so it can continue running without getting the error in the browser "The page cannot be loaded."
I tried the same web site on another configuration of Apache (that I pay for and am trying to avoid) and the page loads fine. Why is fopen crashing my server if the link redirects?
