   I am hosted on dreamhost, and recently they stopped supporting the include function. Dreamhost gave me an alternative, but I don't know how to use it, here is the email they sent me regarding the problem:

   ------------------------------------
   yes we apologize this has been disabled on all of our hosting servers. a
   customer has written a work around for this problem, it can be found
   here..

   http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL
   -------------------------------------

   I'm not sure how to use this alternative, and how to change my current script. I believe this part of the script might be what needs changing:

   <? require('./wp-blog-header.php'); $mode = $_GET['z']; ?>

   Does anyone have any ideas ;)

   Right now, when I use the Z function, this is what I get:

   code
   Warning: main(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /home/.calzt/slickmx0/domain.net/index.php on line 518

   Warning: main(http://domain.net/page.php): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /home/.calzt/slickmx0/domain.net/index.php on line 518

   Warning: main(): Failed opening 'http://domain.net/page.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/.calzt/slickmx0/domain.net/index.php on line 518code

   Thankyou very much.

   WTF is "z function"? Is this a cheap trick to get visitors to your 'naked-women-site'???

   they didn't stop supporting the include function. They stopped supporting the include function with url's, like:

   include('http://site.com/file.php')

   But local paths still work, like:

   include('./file.php') or
   include('/home/foo/bar/file.php')

   Note the above applies to require() as well. And the above is my understanding of that post.

   Here is a function I use to get file contents using curl:

   
function get_file($url)
{
# check for curl...
if ( !extension_loaded('curl') )
die('Curl is not installed.');

   # initiate curl session...
   $ch = curl_init($url) or die('Curl failed to Initiate.');

   # set curl options...
   curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0 );
   curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPGET, 1 );
   curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1 );
   curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 15);
   curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 );

   # execute curl commands...
   $curl_result = curl_exec( $ch ) or die('Curl failed to execute GET.');
   curl_close($ch);

   return $curl_result;
}


   So if you wanted to get the contents of a file on another site, you would do:

   
$my_file = get_file('http://othersite.com/file.ext');
echo $my_file;
