[SOLVED] @get_headers halting script

[Stooney]

here's my code:

$fileUrl = "http://www.phpfreaks.com/images/logo_main.jpg";
$AgetHeaders = @get_headers($fileUrl);
if (preg_match("|200|", $AgetHeaders[0])) {
echo "good";
} else {
echo "bad";
}

 

(i copied the code from a post on php.net)

 

The script seems to completely stop at @get_headers.  not a single line of anything is executed after it.  any of you know why that would happen?  ty in advance

[darkfreaks]

@ will suppresss anything that comes after it im sure it would work if you just took it out completely.

the problem i run into when removing @ is

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get_headers()

What version of PHP are you using?

 

The problem is the function doesn't exist.

 

Information about the @ operator -> http://php.net/operators.errorcontrol

your error says that you are calling to a function that doesn't exist

 

get_headers i believe this function is php5  so lower than five wont recognize that predefined function

[Stooney]

aight, found out i was running scripts as php4 instead of 5.  I switched it all to php5, but now my post variables wont send.  I read a few things about it happening with others, but couldnt really find a solution. 

[teng84]

maybe post the piece of that code so we can diagnose it

Add relevant excerpt of your code so members of this forum can help you better. Since you're now using PHP 5, make sure you're using $_POST and not the older deprecated $HTTP_POST_VARS.

ty for all of your help.  I just had to change how I handled post with php5.  got it all working now.
