can't retrieve data from the net with file_get_contents ?!

[Rob]

for some reason i keep getting :

Warning: file_get_conten ts(): php_network_get addresses: getaddrinfo failed:
Temporary failure in name resolution in
/home/rob/www/php/filegetcontents 2.php on line 3

Warning:
file_get_conten ts(http://folding.stanford.edu/teamstats/team92.txt): failed
to open stream: Resource temporarily unavailable in
/home/rob/www/php/filegetcontents 2.php on line 3

when trying to retrieve a page of text (stats for a distributed computing
project) from the Net like this :

$personal =
file_get_conten ts("http://folding.stanfor d.edu/teamstats/team92.txt");

i also tried implode/file ... same error.
but when i fill in the URL in Mozilla it is retrieved just fine and no
'temporary failures' at all ?!

what could be going wrong with the name resolution ??

Nothing. Most likely, it's not name resolution at all. Try this:

$host = 'folding.stanfo rd.edu';
$path = 'teamstats/team92.txt';
$fp = fsockopen ($host, '80');
if ($fp) {
fputs($fp, 'GET '.$path." HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: ".$host."\r\n") ;
} else {
die ('Oops... Nobody home...');
}
$data = '';
while (!feof ($fp)) {
$data .= fgets ($fp, 10240);
}
fclose ($fp);
echo '<pre>', $data, '</pre>';

then what could it be ??
the 'funny' thing is that when i run the code in PHP4.3.1 on Windows2000, it
works OK !!
but the same code in PHP4.3.3 in Linux (Mandrake 9.2) gives me the name
resolution errors ?!

Ok, i'll boot back into Linux later and try it !!
