can't include() remote website in php / phtml files

[SoftDux]

Hi all

i have (had) a simple index.phtml script, which I put in "/root/cpanel3-skel/public_html/" that included a welcome page on my server, which I could change as I liked. This worked fine for a long time, but now it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Here's the script:

[root@gandalf www]# more /root/cpanel3-skel/public_html/index.phtml
<center><h2>The Domain <?echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?> has been registered by <a href="http://www.SoftDux.com" target="_blank">SoftDux</a></h2></center><B
R><BR>
<?
include_once("http://park.mydomain.com");
?>

The problem is, it doesn't include the http://park.mydomain.com domain anymore.

If I add the following lines to it, I get the desired output though:

<?
echo "test foo";
?>

I'm running Apache 2.0.61 & PHP 5.2.4

[root@gandalf www]# httpd -v; php -v

Any suggestions?

With the PHP.ini ensure that url fopen is enabled.

I've had the same problem after I installed Zend Optimisation, regardless of what was in php.ini I could not include() from a remote source. Not sure if it's related. Is that a zend feature? /shrug.

I bet it is suhosin...

try searching the logs

grep suhosin /var/log/messages

If you see something like "urlhere" is an URL that is not allowed

try adding the following line to your php.ini and restart apache

suhosin.executor.include.whitelist=http://park.mydomain.com

I was having this issue with zend 3.3.0 and php 4.4.7

Reverting to zend 3.2.2 solved the issue.

As we discovered in another post. That's awesome. I'm going to downgrade later tonight my version that's running on php4 - leave php5 with the latest zend.

Cheers for confirming.
