Fatal error during include :(

[Rafal Zawadzki]

Hello, I am using php5 and I've got this piece of code:

include ('http://something.somew here/file.php?a=act' )

PHP instead of including file five me:

[13-May-2005 12:17:38] PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Security alert:
Include filename is an URL in Unknown on line 0


My php.ini contains:

safe_mode = Off
allow_url_fopen = On

<? phpinfo() ?> shows that this values are correct.


Why it is happens? What can I do?

Cheers,

This really can't be done. Only local files can be included.

This message says what I said before.

fopen says it all. This means php allows you to open a file from a URL.

So if you want to read a remote file use fopen.

Really? Then the manual should be fixed:

http://nl3.php.net/include/

'If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the
default configuration), you can specify the file to be included using a
URL (via HTTP or other supported wrapper - see Appendix L for a list of
protocols) instead of a local pathname.'

Maybe not:

http://nl3.php.net/include/

"Warning

Windows versions of PHP prior to PHP 4.3.0 do not support accessing
remote files via this function, even if allow_url_fopen is enabled."

So example 16-7 on http://nl3.php.net/include/ is wrong?

Re: Fatal error during include :(

According to your description of settings and code, it should work.
Include can in fact include remote files. Have you tried other URL's
that will work, such as google.com?

Re: Fatal error during include :(

Your copy of PHP has the Hardened-PHP patch. Including of URLs is
disabled, period.

There is no legitimate reason to include a URL. Doing so is almost
always a mistake. If you want to show the contents of a web page, use
readfile().
