I have run a test that shows my paranoid fears of the government shutting down access were unfounded. But I am just as lost as before about the cause of the problem. I have reduced the script to the following:
============================== <html> <head> <title>Test crawler</title> </head> <body> <?php $sURL = 'http://www.Google.com'; echo('Getting ' . $sURL . '<p>'); $sFileCont = file_get_contents($sURL); echo('<p>' . $sFileCont); ?> </body> </html> ============================== And the result is: ============================== Getting http://www.Google.com PHP has encountered an Access Violation at 0A0591E4 ============================== The "file_get_contents()" function was working just fine throughout development of the script. Now it yields an access violation. Can anyone direct me to documentation that explains what is going on? Thanks for your help. Marshall Burns, PhD www.MBurns.com <http://www.mburns.com/>
