PHP 4.3.2, Apache 2.0.47, Windows XP Pro
PHP includes of remote files like
<?php include('http://somedomain.com/'); ?>
give error Failed opening 'http://somedomain.com/' for inclusion
includes of local files like
<?php include('test.txt'); ?>
no problem.
The problem with inclusion of remote files was supposedly solved with PHP
4.3.0, but still seems a problem, at least on Apache 2.0.47. Is there any
setting I should look into? Any ideas/help most welcome!

you tried ...
<?php include('http://somedomain.com/index.html'); ?>
would it not be more beneficial to open the files (fopen, fread)? this way
you can parse the page if needed, and add your own headers / footers without
killing any HTML

this really isn't a PHP question at all...
check the microsoft knowledge base on their website, should be a complete
listing of all windows programs on there...

Hi,
We are planning to use PHP on windows 2000 but which is the better web
server to use under this these circumstances IIS or Apache?
Thanks

We use both in production.
I'm biased, but we prefer Apache, even though I've had more issues with it.
(On win32) Prior to Apache 1.3.27, had a few issues with the apache service
dying every few days and not restarting (win2k event viewer didn't even know
it stopped) on a Compaq DL370 (ah there's the problem you say!).
Also, compiling PHP with DEAPI (whilst using open ssl) was a slight issue,
but I think the warnings were mostly harmless (it's just the constant
crashes caused me to think it was the DEAPI factor)
That's my nightmare apache story, I've run them on other prod servers
(win2k) without a hitch.
IIS is of course, patch city - not really as evil as anti-micro$oft lobby
(include yours truly) would have you believe, but nonetheless a few
annoyances like intermittent ISAPI PHP builds having crash issues. And ONLY
use ISAPI - don't even think of the CGI version.
PHP-CGI on IIS is only useful if you're not interested in scaling. Trust me,
you NEED the persistent connections.
Besides, the ISAPI version gives you a neat $_SERVER["APPL_PHYSICAL_PATH"],
the equivalent of $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] in Apache... It escapes me (and
micro$oft) how such an important variable gets missed out. APPL_PHYSICAL
PATH is NOT available via CGI... how's that for ms weirdness.
Anyway, needless to say IIS is slightly easier to set up, but doesn't
support important features like http-gzip (can anyone say "spend more
money"?). Ok, well, you can use PHP zlib compression... I'm picking at
bones, but it all adds up.
All in all, IIS is less painful to setup, configure and run, but I think
it's Apache that lets me sleep at night.
Apache also give you warm fuzzies and makes you more attractive to the
opposite sex.

However sometimes the session seems to timeout (as I'd expect) however it

times i have seen it not timing out if left 'logged in' overnight and
continue work in the morning.
How can I stop this and/or bring some kind of consistency?

Hi
I'm using php on winxp through commandline. Now, Amazon has this feature
where the sellers could download reports from it's Automated Inventory
Management system...
To get into this system, they require you to send a POST request... now,
I've sent the request, supposely, the reply is the file, how do I make php
take this file?
Can I just do this:
$reply="";
while (!feof($conn))
$reply .= fread($conn, 1024);
echo $reply;
or I need something else.
thanks
John

Don't know if this is possible but....
Is it possible to create a PHP script to create a user in MySQL database and
then grant that user specific access to the DB? I'm trying to create an
installer for a php program and building it so that dummies can install it
if need be.
I know that PHPMyAdmin creates users with an interface, but I'm just trying
to do this by having the user go to www.server.com/program/install.php , and
this would setup the user account, grant access and then install the
program.

I am trying to run the web installer for PEAR.
I get this message...
Sorry! The PEAR installer actually does not work on Windows platform
using CGI and Apache.
Please install the module SAPI (see
http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.apache.php
for the instructions) or use the CLI (cli\php.exe) in the console.
This is my php.config file...
LoadFile "/etc/php/php4ts.dll"
LoadFile "/etc/php/gnu_gettext.dll"
LoadModule php4_module "/etc/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"
Action application/x-httpd-php "/etc/php/php.exe"
ScriptAlias /php/ "/etc/php/"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
What am I doing wrong?

red herring!
those are Apache directives you've listed, not php.ini settings. I assume
you mean php.conf which is included by httpd.conf?
I assume you know how to install php as a SAPI module (you've got all the
directives below plus the help url)
However, that's just a SAPI red herring, this is how you install PEAR under
windows:
(I admit I installed it using the linux method using cygwin under windows, I
assume this will work)
Installation: Windows
#
# On Windows, go-pear uses stdin for user input, so you must download
# go-pear first and then run it:
#
# Note: In PHP 4.2.0-4.2.3, the PHP CLI binary is named php-cli.exe while
since
# PHP 4.3.0, it's simply named php.exe in the cli/ folder of your PHP
directory.
# The CGI is also named php.exe but it sits directly in your PHP directory.
#
# > cli/php -r 'readfile("http://pear.php.net/go-pear";);' > go-pear
# > cli/php go-pear
#
# Installation: Notes
#
# - If using the CGI version of PHP, append the -q option to suppress
# headers in the output.
# - Once the go-pear script is initiated, you will see instructions on
# how to continue installing PEAR. The first thing you should see is:
#
# Welcome to go-pear!
