enable allow_url_fopen

[biscoolcool]

I read how to enable allow_url_fopen it said I need to go to http://x10hosting.com/panel.php sign in, go to "Upgrade PHP Version" and select "Intermediate". When I go there I get this message "This feature is not currently activated on your account. All accounts are set to x10Hosting's PHP v2. If you are not sure what that means, don't worry about it." How do I enable it?

Thanks

Well don't worry.

As was written for you , all accounts are already set to intermediate level PHP. So you can't, & don't need to upgrade. This change was made after the server upgrades a couple of months ago, & we don't seem to have gone back to the old system of having to request PHP upgrades (yet, anyway).

The thread you had read was out of date.

Anyways, your are on chopin, so many functions would be disabled during a moment.

Why does the first image say that I have PHP version 1 and the second image say PHP version 2?

According do you my account is set to intermediate and allow_url_fopen is enabled.

Then why do I get this error on my site?

I had this issue a short while back, am on a paid hosting account and I recall being advised to use curl instead.

Some mention of a security risk or something.

I looked to curl and it made no sense to me so i lazily decided to use an iframe with a javascript that ammends the height related to the content.

Not the better solution I suppose but it does work.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function frameheight()
{
var the_height=document.getElementById('some_name').contentWindow.document.body.scrollHeight;
document.getElementById('some_name').height=the_height;
}
//-->
</script>

<iframe width="100%" 
id="some_name" 
onload="frameheight();" 
src="http://your_url" 
scrolling="no" 
frameborder="0" 
height="1">
Oops, &quot;IFRAMES&quot; are not working.
</iframe>

Thanks I'll use that for now but I still need allow_url_fopen to work.
Anybody got another idea?

you could try cURL or a client (iFrame or JS) method until url_fopen is re-enabled.

When will url_fopen be re-enabled? After Chopin will stop being attacked?

I am on Chopin and I can use fopen and file_get_contents on urls.

Probably because you switched to php intermediate. My problem is that the 1st img says that I have php V1 and the second says I have v2.

I did not switch.
My screens say the same as yours do.

Remember the translator? Misson told me I can include it on every page using this code

<?php include('translator.php'); ?>

It dosen't matter how but I figured out to use the code with the http:// I need url_fopen to be enabled.

<?php include('http://mywebsite.co.cc/translator.php'); ?>

So if I use this code on my localhost (my own computer) every thing work but if I put this code on my website (with a page including the translator I get this error:

Warning: include() [function.include]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/biscool/public_html/index.php on line 52

Warning: include(http://mywebsite.co.cc/includes/php/translator.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/biscool/public_html/index.php on line 52

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'http://mywebsite.co.cc/includes/php/translator.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/biscool/public_html/index.php on line 52

but if you go on http://mywebsite.co.cc/includes/php/translator.php evrything work fine.

Did I do something wrong? Got another way of doing this using php?

Thanks

Including a script over HTTP is almost always the wrong thing. If you include a file using URL wrappers, the script will fetch the page using HTTP, which means it gets the processed output of the included page. If the included page printed a PHP script, this would probably work, but translator.php prints just HTML. translator.php needs to execute in the context of the including script so it has the right value for $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI']. If you include translator.php over HTTP, $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URI'] will refer to translator.php, and you'll get a translator widget that will translate only translator.php.

If you want to include files relative to the document root, use $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] (as recommended in the previous discussion) or virtual() instead of include(). Note that virtual() only works under Apache and incurs a slight performance hit as it requires a sub-request.

Don't put the includes folder in public_html; put it one level up, so it's a sibling of public_html.

allow_url_fopen is enabled.

But allow_url_include is disabled.

Why not host the included file locally? Is it your file?

Thank you so much for explaining everything!!! I'm still only learning php so this is why I made the mistakes like include the translator thought HTTP.
