Problem with PHP and Apache

[kara_c]

Hello,

 

I am have problem with PHP and Apache server.

 

I have script which can include output from other script loaded by file_get_contents(). When I am calling cross-server communication, I do file_get_contents('http://www.remote.tld/file.php');

 

When my script connects to another server everything works fine. However I cannot do this on my own server, even to any file. I cannot load any URL from my own server with file_get_contents().

 

When I do this I get an infinite server timeout. Which makes me think the problem are with Apache only processing one request at once.

 

Example:

$var=file_get_contents('http://remote.tld/playerstats.php'); #Loads normally from other person server

$var=file_get_contents('http://mydomain.tld/playerstats.php'); #times out forever

$var=file_get_contents('http://mydomain.tld/test.txt'); #times out forever

$var=file_get_contents('http://myotherdomain.tld/playerstats.php'); #times out forever

$var=file_get_contents('http://myotherdomain.tld/test.txt'); #times out forever

 

I need to use file_get_contents because I am switch() through both local and remote domains.

 

Using Apache 2.0.63 and PHP 5.1.6

 

Thank you!

Why not do this?

$foo = file_get_contents($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/foostats.php";

 

This may resolve your problem, as you're not posting any other code this is all I can assume that is happening.

 

If it persists, try using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] and if that fails, then use fopen/fget. I don't see how it can make an infinite loop!
