I am trying to read a file in with file_get_contents () - it's a remote HTTP file, and I've checked the URL and it's fine. Only it doesn't work.
More to the point the the error message is the standard Firefox server error:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
... rather than any form of PHP error. It also only took a couple of seconds to come back so it can't be hitting the script runtime limit - any ideas on what is going wrong here?
It's PHP 5 on Apache 2, running on Windows btw.
To clarify it's my connection to my .php file that is having this issue. Even if the remote file wasn't there I'd at least expect an error - that my webserver is apparently dropping the connection rather than at least giving an error message is the issue.
*Update 2: Same issue with fopen instead of file_get_contents*
Update 3: It may even be crashing the server:
