fopen is giving errors any thing I could replace it with.

[Sanny]

My website gets a PHP error as below.

main(): php_network_get addresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service
not known in ....

And after an hour or two Everything becomes OK automatically. Please
let
me know why above errors comes sometimes.

I use a php function fopen() to reuse other webpages at different
places. This error does not come always but sometimes randomly. And my
error_log gets completely full of this error daily.

Any one knows how to rectify this problem. Is there any alternative I
should try.

I use fopen() function a lot to reduce the file sizes.

Thanks
Sanny.

Your network connectivity and/or DNS servers suck. Or perhaps
it's the DNS servers for the target machine that suck.
