PHP update, now include "uri" doesn't work

[GoWilkes]

I just completed an Apache and PHP update a few days ago, updating PHP to v. 5.2.11. When I built Apache, I included ZendOptimizer, eAccelerator, and SOAP.

Now, all of my "include" commands in PHP that were using a URI are broken. Like this:

@include "http://www.mydomain.com/header.php";

They were including a file on the same domain, I had just built them this way because they were being used from dynamic links.

Is there a reason that 5.2.11 no longer recognizes this? It appears to be valid on php.net. Or is there a conflict with the Apache / PHP configuration?

TIA,

Jason

Make sure you have both of these options turned on in the php.ini file:

allow_url_fopen = On
allow_url_include = On

I believe one of them is turned off by default in the php.ini file and the other one is missing, so you need to add it.

THANK YOU! Adding "allow_url_include = On" did the trick. Oddly, this line wasn't in my original php.ini, either, so I don't know how we were supposed to have known about it.

Now if I can just get Urchin to start updating, I'll be in as good of shape as I was in last week at this time! LOL
