fopen, fread & fclose

[padanaram]

I have a program that opens a remote url and reads teh content of the url adn then sends it in an email. I used fopen and fread and it works, but now I moved it to a new server and it doesnt work. The program hangs in the browser.

Is there another way to do this? Can anyone help?

Here is the code.

$urlFile = $_POST['message2'];


                     $openUrl = fopen($urlFile, "r");


					 $message = "";

					 while (!feof($openUrl)) {
                          $message .= fread($openUrl, 8192);
                     }
                     fclose($openUrl);

One possibility is that the fopen_wrapper is not enabled on your new server. By the way, have you considered [man]file_get_contents/man?
