fopen

[sanchez77]

Hi Everyone,

 

For a long time i have been using fopen to read a web page and then display it on my page. But recently, it stopped working.

 

Does anyone know an alternative that I can use?

 

My code is below.

 

<?php

$filename="http://weather.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/fmtbltn.pl?file=forecasts/marine/coastal/an/anz451.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename,'r');

while($line=fgets($fp))
{
print $line."<br>";
}

fclose($fp);

?>

lets just stop there a second, why has it stopped working, where is the error, you can clean out the data from now on and get rid of anything that causes the error.

 

show us error codes you are getting etc

 

try error_reporting(2047);

 

before your code

when i place the code below before it, it returns a blank page. did i write it right? do i need to add more to capture the error?

 

error_reporting(2047);

is there anything included above this code in an include or somthing else or some other code ? .

[sanchez77]

no, just the code that i wrote above.

[nadeemshafi9]

type echo "hello" before everything, and see if you get a result

 

 

what kind of system is this, an in house system, is this something you built or is this a third party software,framework ?

the hellos show.

 

it yahoo hosting, and it's just the code to read the file. nothing special. Is it possible yahoo changed security settings to not allow fopen?
