Description
int
fopen
( string filename, string mode [, int use_include_path])
If
filename
begins
with
"
http
:
/
/
"
(not
case
sensitive
)
,
an
HTTP
1.0
connection
is
opened
to
the
specified
server
,
the
page
is
requested
using
the
HTTP
GET
method
,
and
a
file
pointer
is
returned
to
the
beginning
of
the
body
of
the
response
.
A
'
Host
:
'
header
is
sent
with
the
request
in
order
to
handle
name-based
virtual
hosts
.
As
of
PHP
4.3.0
(
not
yet
released)
,
if
you
have
compiled
in
support
for
OpenSSL
,
you
may
use
"https
:
/
/
"
to
open
an
HTTP
connection
over
SSL
.
Note
that
the
file
pointer
allows
you
to
retrieve
only
the
body
of
the
response
;
to
retrieve
the
HTTP
response
header
you
need
to
be
using
PHP
4.0.5
or
later
;
The
headers
will
be
stored
in
the
$http_response_header
variable
.
As
of
PHP
4.3.0
(
not
yet
released)
,
the
header
information
can
be
retrieved
using
the
file_get_wrapper_data(
)
.
HTTP
connections
are
read-only
;
you
cannot
write
data
or
copy
files
to
an
HTTP
resource
.
Versions
prior
to
PHP
4.0.5
do
not
handle
HTTP
redirects
.
Because
of
this
,
directories
must
include
trailing
slashes
.
If
filename
begins
with
"
ftp
:
/
/
"
(not
case
sensitive
)
,
an
ftp
connection
to
the
specified
server
is
opened
and
a
pointer
to
the
requested
file
is
returned
.
If
the
server
does
not
support
passive
mode
ftp
,
this
will
fail
.
You
can
open
files
for
either
reading
or
writing
via
ftp
(
but
not
both
simultaneously
)
.
If
the
remote
file
already
exists
on
the
ftp
server
and
you
attempt
to
open
it
for
writing
,
this
will
fail
.
If
you
need
to
update
existing
files
over
ftp
,
use
ftp_connect(
)
.
If
filename
is
one
of
"
php
:
/
/stdin"
,
"php
:
/
/stdout"
,
or
"php
:
/
/stderr"
,
the
corresponding
stdio
stream
will
be
opened
.
(This
was
introduced
in
PHP
3.0.13
;
in
earlier
versions
,
a
filename
such
as
"
/
dev
/
stdin
"
or
"
/
dev
/
fd
/
0
"
must
be
used
to
access
the
stdio
streams
.
)
If
filename
begins
with
anything
else
,
the
file
will
be
opened
from
the
filesystem
,
and
a
file
pointer
to
the
file
opened
is
returned
.
mode
may
be
any
of
the
following
:
You
can
use
the
optional
third
parameter
and
set
it
to
"
1
"
,
if
you
want
to
search
for
the
file
in
the
include_path
,
too
.
