You may have the config option "allow_url_fopen" set to disallow the use
of fopen with remote files.
Here is a link describing the configuration options.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] url tp image in php
Well, I'm making a little progress. Here is the code that I am using:
<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$handle = fopen("
http://www.xxx.com/";, "r");
$im = imagecreatefromgd($handle);
header( "Content-type: image/png" );
imagepng( $im );
imagedestroy($im);
?>
When I run it, I get the following in my broswer:
Warning: imagecreatefromgd(Resource id #2) [function.imagecreatefromgd]:
failed to open stream: A file or directory in the path name does not
exist.
I thought that something was wrong with my fopen statement, but when i
put
in some other code that uses it - for example, $line = fgets ($handle,
1024);
that other code works.
Why can't imagecreatefromgd find the remote file?

Thanks, everyone, for responding. Apparently I was not clear enough
about
what I am trying to do. I have a PHP script that reads a lot of stuff
from a database and creates a PDF (using FPDF) which is then displayed
in
a browser. Among the items that need to be included in the PDF are
images
of the home pages of various other websites. Which home pages are to be
included vary from time to time, and the URLs of the ones that we want
are
in the database. I want to be able to capture those home pages as
separate jpgs, put them in the IFS, then use the image method in FPDF to
include them in the PDF that I create.
Also - and forgive me, I guess I should know this - what is the GD
library, to which several people referred?

Hi all - I'm looking for a way for a PHP script to dynamically generate
an
image - maybe as a jpg - for a given url. Anybody know how to do this?
