Keep crashing php.exe with my print script ?

Hi All

The script below keeps crashing php/apache with the following error

[Thu Apr 13 17:08:24 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Premature end of script headers: php.exe, referer: http://localhost
taken from apache error.log

<?

function getPrinter($HPLaser) {
	$host = 'SERVER1.local';
   global $REMOTE_ADDR;
   #$host  =  getHostByAddr($REMOTE_ADDR);
   return "\\\\".$host."\\".$HPLaser;
}

$handle  =  printer_open(getPrinter("HPLaser"));
if(!$handle)
{
echo "ERROR PRINTER NOT FOUND";	

} else {

echo "PRINTER FOUND AND READY TO ROCK N ROLL";
}


// Get a file into a string.  In this example we'll go through HTTP to get 
// the HTML source of a URL.
$lines = file_get_contents('http://intranet/man01gen.htm');


$print01 = "";
printer_write($handle, $lines);
printer_close($handle);


?>

Ive tried to debug the code, but it keeps crashing on this line,
$lines = file_get_contents('http://intranet/man01gen.htm');

Can anyone tell me what im doing wrong..

thanks very much for reading

I can get the printer to print, just not from a URL which is what I want

thanks

Have you successfully used [man]fopen/man to retrieve files via HTTP?

Try creating a simple PHP script, with nothing more than this:

<?PHP
$data = file_get_contents('http://intranet/man01gen.htm');
echo $data;
?>

Does it work?
