[RESOLVED] include() -function broken

code78

Hello!

I found weird problem with Apache+Php5.3 in Debian Squeeze. I'm trying
to include a file from remote server but seems that include breaks running script.

Simple test.php:

<?php
echo "TEST1";
include("http://myserver.com/filetobeincluded.php");
echo "TEST2";
?>

When you try to run test.php from browser, you'll get ONLY
a word "TEST1" and script breaks on include. If you try to include
a file locally, that works.

I have allow_url_include = On and everything okay in php.ini.

Seems that this is problem happens ONLY in Squeeze. I ran that same script in
Fedora 14 and that works without problems on our current production environment which is running on Debian Lenny.

Version info from log: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) PHP/5.3.3-7+squeeze1 with Suhosin-Patch configured

I tested this with 2 different fresh Squeeze installations with same results.

Anyone have any suggestions about this?

do you have full error checking on?

Yes all possible logging is turned on (E_ALL | E_STRICT and tried too with E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR)

If I write some rubbish AFTER that include("http://url"); that just doesn't generate
any error into log. But of course putting some rubbish text before that gives a valid
error.

What happens if you use [man]file_get_contents/man instead and just echo the data?

That actually works. Need to use that as workaround until Debian gets
packages fixed. Thanks a lot for the tip.

It's actually probably a good thing that [man]include[/man] doesn't want to accept URLs - you shouldn't normally do that anyway.
