[SOLVED]Ini_Set('allow_Url_Include','on'); Disabled On Heliohost ?

[f1p2]

Hi,

 

I sincerely hope I don't annoy anyone by posting this question here. I've sort of asked a similar question in the general discussion, (website management and hosting section) of the forums but have concluded that since my coding seems to be correct then this question possibly relates to whether the feature is enabled or not on the server.

 

So as the title asks. Is ini_set('allow_url_include','on'); disabled on Heliohost ?

 

I'm asking the question because whenever I use a php include() function to point to a file with an external url I get a blank page but when I use a local file the include works.

 

When I tried googling for a solution one of the answers was that the host server may have disabled this feature so I'm just wondering if this is the case with Heliohost. Can anyone at Heliohost tell me if this is the case or alternatively if anyone has successfully used a php include() with an external url

 

Thanks in advance for any answers.

Ok.. This post has been answered now in another section of the forums.

 

php includes() are disabled on Heliohost for files on other servers for security reasons.

 

Thanks

The question is already answered but in the style of "learning how to fish instead of giving a fish", I would recommend having one page in your account with http://php.net/manual/en/function.phpinfo.php on it. I have one and I find I use it often to check some server setting.
