Hello,
In my web application, a user has an option to select a local file or URL to upload. I'm using the PHP function fopen to open the file. That works perfectly for uploaded files but it does not work for URLs. I get following error <br /> <b>Warning</b>: fopen() [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in <b>...</b> on line <b>...</b><br /> <br /> <b>Warning</b>: fopen(http://...) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in <b>/www/uuuq.com/....php</b> on line <b>296</b><br /> Is there any way to enable URL file access in php? I tried to set the PHP flag allow_url_fopen in the .htaccess file but your server rejected it. Thanks in advance |

We don't allow outside connections to discourage spammers.

Hi
Thank you for the prompt answer. I'd like to provide an option for uploading data from a URL anyway. Is there another PHP solution beside using fopen? QUOTE(swordz @ May 24 2009, 11:34 AM)  We don't allow outside connections to discourage spammers. swordz cyberleopard |

Zymic discourages all outside connection as Swordz has stated. Sorry.

QUOTE(IamShipon1988 @ May 24 2009, 05:00 PM) Zymic discourages all outside connection as Swordz has stated. Sorry. I see... The last question - if I go with a paid hosting, do you allow the URL access? Thanks cyberleopard |

Lunarpages is completely separate- so it's not us you really have to ask. However, several of the staff do have Lunarpages as their paid hosts, and URL access is allowed.
Visit here for more detail on the paid hosting we recommend. swordz |
