I'm on intermediate PHP version, I saw other posts on the forums and decided to be patient in waiting for the problem to be fixed. Earlier today I realised the fopen function was working again, yay for that change! Saw someone else had the same type of error on another topic I read and saw an admin updated the cron settings for that person, so I guess that's what's needed here, too.
PHP:
<b>Warning</b>: fopen() [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in <b>/home/ianh/public_html/updcron.php</b> on line <b>79</b><br />
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: fopen(http://hiscore.runescape.com/index_lite.ws?player=P_Gertrude) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in <b>/home/ianh/public_html/updcron.php</b> on line <b>79</b><br />
