Hi all,
I'm trying to write some php to get, parse, and display RSS feeds. Not
a monumental task, I thought.
It seems, however, that my web host has fopen(), fsockopen(), and
similar functions disabled. I tried to be clever and override this
setting with:
ini_set ( 'allow_url_fopen', '1') or die('oh dang!');
but of course that'd be too easy. Does anyone have any experience with
alternate solutions? Is there any way to access remote files without
fopen()? Is this a common function for hosting providers to disable?
Thanks,
Mark
