fopen with variable, not working. ... Hardcoded does work ???

[doa24uk]

Hi guys,

 

Here's my script

 

mysql_connect("localhost", "REMOVED", "REMOVED") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("REMOVED") or die(mysql_error());


// Get all Links
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ping") 
or die(mysql_error());

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

// Send Pings now

$title = $row['title'];
$url = $row['url'];

$offsiteurl = "http://offsitedomain.com/ping/?title=".$title."&blogurl=".$url."&chk_weblogscom=on";

echo $pingomatic;
$handle = fopen($offsiteurl, "r") or die("Can't open file");
fclose($handle);

 

It outputs the correct URL and then error's saying Can't open file ... It also says "HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections" ... However if I hard code the URL into the fopen eg. fopen("http://google.com", "r") it works perfectly ???

 

All I want to do is create a bunch of URLs from my database & open them one at a time - surely it's simple stuff!!!

echo $offsiteurl and compare it to your "hard-coded" copy.  see if there are any discrepancies.

I am so tired lol! I had spaces in the URLs. Replaced spaces with +s and everythings working fine now.

 

Thanks
