PHP is a scripting language used by developers to build websites. \u2018url_fopen\u2019 refers to a PHP directive allowing files to be included from external sources.<\/p>\n
When the directive \u2018allow_url_fopen\u2019 is enabled on a server-wide level, it creates a security risk for all domains hosted on that server. It is, for this reason, we have disabled the \u2018allow_url_fopen\u2019 directive on Monday, 23 November 2009 on our Web hosting servers.<\/p>\n
Should you require the \u2018allow_url_fopen\u2019 directive to be enabled on your domain to ensure your website functions optimally, you will need to enable the directive on a per domain level. If your website does not require \u2018allow_url_fopen\u2019 you can simply check that the directive is set to \u2018off\u2019.<\/p>\n
