Include error?

[Moooink]

On my main page I have an include that calls to a calendar events script. It has been working for months flawlessly and now suddenly it is giving a bizzare error. The include path is correct, and when browsing the events.php file by itsself, the script works. Any ideas?


PHP Warning: main() [<a href='

http://www.php.net/function.main'>function.main</a>

]: cannot represent a stream of type socket as a STDIO FILE* in C:\

line 14 of main.php is:

<td valign=top>
<?php
include("

http://www.seminolewarhawkband.com/calendar/events.php?limit=1");

?>
</td>

The include is correct, and has worked in the past.

well for some reason it was not allowing a URL to be included, but if i included the direct path (calendar/events.php) WITHOUT the ?limit=1...it appears to work. Not sure why this is so.

Is the script to be included on the same filesystem as the file on the filesystem? If so, there's not point in doing a URL include. Particularly in light of the fact that the script code in the include file will already have access to the value you're sending it.

URL includes are slower and more resource intensive than a filesystem include.


As to why this has happened, I can only imagine that something has changed somewhere. An upgrade to PHP or a change to php.ini. Is this on your own machine or on a hosted server?

my own machine. the php.ini was altered but only in one spot, to allow php_gd2.ini to be of use to a separate image altering thumbnail creating script.
