i wish i could help you out, but i tried your code (below)
and it worked perfectly... i'm running PHP Version 4.0.4pl1
on a Windows 2000 box. perhaps it isn't the fopen() that's
failins.
$x =
fopen("http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Music%20business%20news&o=xml","r";)
or die("Cannot open!");
print fread($x , 4096);
