Including text from txt file from web

z0rG

Hey!
Im tryin to include content of a .txt file in my page. This is my code

<?php
$file = fopen("http://zorg.own.cz/test.txt", 'r');
$text = fread($file, 512);

echo $text;
echo $file;

?>

But sadly this is result... It looks like the php cant acces that file, even though i can normally look at when i put its url in browser...

Warning: fopen(http://zorg.own.cz/test.txt): in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\data\localweb\test\test.php on line 3

Warning: fread() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in C:\Program Files\EasyPHP-DevServer-14.1VC11\data\localweb\test\test.php on line 4

What am I doin wrong?

Is that all it says? It seems to be missing the actual message...

If this file is on the same computer that your script is running on, you'd be better off just using the filename and path instead of a URL.

The second error message is of course because you try to read from the file handle even though it failed to open.

Thats the problem, file is not on the same PC... Its actually on a server administered by a different company...
And yes, thats all it says 🙁
Do you maybe have some other ideas how to include text from that file on my web?

If allow_url_fopen is not enabled in your config, then you probably will have to use [man]cURL[/man] instead of file functions. You can check the setting by:

<?php
$value = ini_get('allow_url_fopen');
var_export($value);

Broken implementation or logger, sounds like. Given that pathname, I kind of understand (but that shows my bias, lol).

Just a shot in the dark: Does replacing fopen() and fread() with [man]file_get_contents/man produce any different result, or a more complete error message?
