When trying to use the fopen function, I get the following error message on my page:
Warning: fopen() [function.fopen]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /www/vndv.com/*************
Warning: fopen(http://*********) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /www/vndv.com/************* on line 13
why is that? tanks!
Full Version: Fopen() Forbidden?

Outside connections are not allowed. Even if you're connecting to a site in zymic, the fact that you're starting with http:// makes the php install think it's an outside connection.

Ow, thanks. That's bad news, my site can't work on zymic then. Is it for safety reason? I'm just wondering why they would prevent outside connections.
It's to prevent spammers/phishers using us, or storing their information on an outside site.

It also prevents certain proxy scripts. The best way for you to have fopen() enabled is to use a paid host.
