[FX.php List] get_file_contents() fails on iis

[Steve Winter]

Me again,
 
Never mind, I figured it out...! the issue related not to IIS but to a DNS
issue which was preventing the server talking to itself...
 
That's what you get at nearly 11 pm after working 12+ hours on a Sunday...
 
Cheers
Steve

Subject: [FX.php List] get_file_contents() fails on iis


Hi everyone,
 
This is sort of off topic, as it doesn't exactly relate directly to
FX.php...
 
I'm trying to use the Ajax style code described at
http://www.phpit.net/article/ajax-php-without-xmlhttprequest/ which will
really help me with a solution I'm trying to develop at present... (which
does use FX.php extensively ;-)
 
I work in a PC environment (out of my control, don't go there ;-) which
means for FMSA I'm using IIS as the server. I've discovered rather
frustratingly that
    $data = @file_get_contents($url);
from the example above fails on my IIS server...
 
If I copy the exact same files onto an Apache server running on Win2k, then
they work fine...
 
I presume it's got something to do with IIS security or...?? I'm a bit of a
newbie when it comes to IIS...I'd never used it till upgrading to FMSA 8 and
essentially being forced to...till this project I've been using FM6U and
FX.php with Apache...
 
Any thoughts, suggestions or ideas gratefully accepted :-)
 
Cheers
Steve
