From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: OpenBSD 2.6 PHP version: 4.0.5 PHP Bug Type: HTTP related Bug description: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed I've seen this issue posted here a few times, and I think my problem is similar to Bug id #7880. fopen(), fsockopen(), and file() will not work with URL or IP address parameters. include() has the same issue. I believe it has something to do with getaddrinfo. Before upgrading to PHP4, I was running 3.0.16 and all of these functions were working perfectly with URL parameters. My configure script looks like this: ./configure --with-apache=/usr/temp/apache_1.3.19 --with-mysql=/usr/local --enable-track-vars --with-xml --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl My php.ini DOES contain the line "allow_url_fopen = On" The fopen() script looks like this: $fd = fopen( "http://www.php.net/", "r" ); if( !$fd ) { echo "Cannot open URL"; } else { while ( !feof( $fd ) ) { $buffer = fgets( $fd, 4096 ); echo $buffer; } fclose ( $fd ); } and produces this output: Warning: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: name or service is not known in /var/www/patrickhaney.com/www/weather/test.php on line 24 Warning: fopen("http://www.php.net/","r") - Bad file descriptor in /var/www/patrickhaney.com/www/weather/test.php on line 24 Cannot open URL and yes, I can resolve php.net to 208.247.106.187. Using the IP address in place of the hostname produces the same output. If I use the fsockopen() function with this script: fsockopen("http://www.php.net/", 80, &$errno, &$errstr, 30); if(!$fp) { echo "Error: $errstr ($errno)<br>\n"; } else { fputs($fp,"GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n"); while(!feof($fp)) { echo fgets($fp,128); } fclose($fp); } I get this output: Error: (0) -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11058&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
