That error indicates that fopen failed to open the requested file. Given
that the URL works fine in a browser, is it possible that your php is not
configured to do remote fopen? Check the setting of allow_url_fopen in
phpinfo()
It is a good idea to test the result of such calls before trying to use
the result:
fopen('Whatever') or exit('Couldn't get it, Boss!');
or
if(fopen('whatever') {
do good things;
}else{
bleat vigorously;
}
