I can't use any filesystem function (fopen, file, fsockopen, etc.) to
open a remote file (fopen wrapper is obviously on).
For example if I try the following:
$S = file ("http://www.yahoo.com/");
I obtain the error: "Bad file descriptor"
If I use an absolute IP address:
$S = file ("http://216.32.74.50/");
I have no problem.
The machine runs BSDI BSD/OS 4.1 + PHP 4.0.3pl1 + Apache 1.3.11
No problem to access dns from this machine as "ping www.yahoo.com" or
"wget www.yahoo.com" work well.
I don't want to use absolute IP numbers to retrieve data from remote
file (as they can change often). Any ideas, suggestions?
Thank you.
